[edit] The statement is not true
Ghatak's stature among Bengali directors is probably second only to that of Satyajit Ray.
- The statement is not true, many bangali film lover consider Ghatak's stature equal to or even higher than Ray's for his greater genius. It may proper to rewrite as Ghatak's stature is considered equal to only that of Satyajit Ray--Gokul 12:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- either way it is not provable, anyway good luck for that Jeroje 21:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)jeroje
[edit] A small technical error
A small technical error, Ritwik Ghatak was born in Dhaka in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). Well, he was born in Bengal ... East Bengal existed as an entity was only between (1905-1911), (1947-1954). --Ragib 21:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ghatak and commercial cinema
The article gave the impression that art cinema was all there was to Indian cinema. I gave a link to the main Indian cinema article and elaborated on Ghatak's outsider status.
I believe that he was very much part of the Calcutta left-leaning or Communist art scene. I know very little about those folks, so someone else would have to write it, but I think some mention of that milieu would also help put him in perspective. I hope that doesn't sound as if I'm condemning all those folks; I don't share their views, but I think it should be possible to write an NPOV overview of the Calcutta bohemians.

[edit] My contribs...
Like promised, I'll work on this article by adding info and references, but unfortunately I won't have time before the 10th of this month. In my opinion, it needs to be referenced if we want to get it to FA status (which would be nice). I've seen all of his films mutliple times (apart from Jukti tokko golpo) so I'll create/expand those as well. --Antorjal 03:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Just got done with Nagarik, will write/revise the other seven films in succession and then work on this article.--Antorjal 02:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] no time
I have no real time to work on this. however, Ghatak deeply influence Mira Nair, which probably can go in the legacy section--ppm 23:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jukti Takka
the translation of the name jukti takka aar gappa should not be reason, debate and a story as it was. since the literal bengali name means only reason, debate and story. this is important since the narrative style of the film itself is very different from a story telling cinema. In bengali the name "jukti takka aar gappa" is also has the allusion that the cinema of this name is going to comment on these (reason, debate and story ), but adding an A will ruin it and transform the allusion into : reason , debate and a story, and cinema is going to comment or depict this perticular story. I dont know if I am clear enough but I feel that "A" reduced the cinemas appeal. Jeroje 21:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)jeroje
