Blast from the past : Vidya Balan interview with Ritupo*no Ghosh

Just came across this pretty old interview of Vidya Balan with legendary director Ritupo*no Ghosh. Incase anyone here knows a bit of bengali or can somewhat understand the language then this will be a treat to watch. This remains to be my favorite Vidya Balan interview till date.

The last celebrated bengali filmmaker who could get any bollywood hero or heroine to work in bengali film for free.. Such was his clout or respect.. I miss him😭

ROFL why is he named Ritupo*rno. 🤣

Vidya is looking like Ritupo*no Sengupta here...so pretty...po*no...😆

Bengali Film Industry needed Rituparno so much . Vidya as always such a darling.

I used to find him a bit overrated initially but it was Noukadubi actually which made me see him as a director with a completely new lens. That film in itself shows how competent he was as a director. Imagine finally getting Riya Sen to emote and that too so brilliantly!

But yes, he is dearly missed. I think after the three mavericks (Ray, Mrinal, Ghatak), he was the only director who took Bengali cinema to so many international platforms at the same time.

^ Yeah, I actually went back to watching his good films after Noukadubi :) Had only seen Chokher Bali before that..
