After TMC protest, school stops screening of Ritwik Ghatak film
The New Indian Express Kollam
|February 12, 2025
A school in South Kolkata was forced to halt the screening of renowned director Ritwik Ghatak's two films, 'Aamar Lenin' (My Lenin) and 'Komal Gandhar', after a TMC councillor raised objections to them.
'Aamar Lenin' was a film made in the year 1970 to commemorate the birth of Vladimir Lenin. However, issues arose with the National Film Censorship Board of India, which did not approve of the movie and banned it. Ghatak personally met with Indira Gandhi on this matter.
The title of the other film, 'Komal Gandhar', refers to the Hindustani equivalent. It was part of the trilogy composed of 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' in 1960.
