	Movies - Rituparno Ghosh

Rituparno Ghosh (Bangla: ঋতুপূর্ণ ঘোষ) is a young Bengali film director whose work has met with considerable critical acclaim in recent years, both in his native India and abroad.

Ghosh was born and raised in Kolkata, West Bengal and attended Jadavpur University where he studied economics. He cut his directorial teeth in advertising. In 1992, he made a low-key film debut with a children's feature titled Hirer Angti (The Diamond Ring). However, with his second movie Unishe April (19th April), Ghosh attracted serious critical attention. The movie won the 1995 National Film Award in India for best film. Since then, Ghosh has directed a series of critical hits, notably Dahan, Utsab, Chokher Bali
and Raincoat
. His films, dissecting the minutiae of family and societal relationships, have led some critics to compare him with the great Bengali director Satyajit Ray.

Chokher Bali featured Aishwarya Rai, former Miss World and one of India's most popular film actresses. The resulting public visibility of this movie has catapulted Ghosh into the front ranks of the Indian film industry.

He is also a prominent gay activist and has wanted to direct a movie about homosexuality in India for quite some time.
