Noted filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh died of a cardiac arrest on Thursday at his south Kolkata residence. He was 49. Winner of 12 national and some international awards, Ghosh was suffering from pancreatitis and died at 7.30 am, his family said.
Ghosh shot to fame with a childrens film directed by him Hirer Angti in 1994. His film Unishe April won the national award in 1995.
His other widely acclaimed films include Dahan, Asukh, Chokher Bali, Raincoat, Bariwali, Antarmahal and Noukadubi.
Mamata condoles death
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was among the first to arrive at the Ghosh residence. She said that the life of a golden artist of a golden era had come to an untimely end.
Ms Banerjee said that the noted film makers body would be kept at the state's Nandan Film Complex for people to pay their last respects. It would thereafter be taken to the Tollygunj Technicians Studio
He would be cremated at a crematorium in South west Kolkata where his parents were also cremated a few years ago.
Thespian and Phalke award winner Soumitra Chatterjee deeply mourned Ghoshs death, saying, I cannot believe that Rituparna is no more. It is very difficult to accept this news. We lost a very promising film director at a very early age.
Many film actors and actresses thronged his residence to pay their last respects. State Commerce and Industry Minister Partha Chatterjee visited his home this morning.
