Hi everybody,
I am trying to compile the filmography of the unsung
genius Ritwik Ghatak. Here is a list of films he directed (which is pretty
complete as far as i know) and wrote. Since he was under contract with
Bimal Roy Productions he is supposed to have written a couple of films
for them. However i know only of one. Please help me to complete the list.
Due to the nature of the query i am crossposting this to
rec.music.indian.misc too. Please add details for other movies too if you
can.

Hi Anand...

I am presently trying to build up a page dedicated to Ritwik. I am almost
halfway through...a short biography and some small details are still to
be incorporated. You may find some info there. About the scripts of
Ritwik...Madhumati and Musafir are coming to my mind right now, there
are some more.

The URL is: http://www.er6.eng.ohio-state.edu/~guptaa/ritwik/ritwik.html
