The National Film Development Corporation–National Film Archive of India (NFDC–NFAI) is organizing a four-day retrospective, 'GHATAK: A RETROSPECTIVE', in Pune to showcase the cinematic legacy of filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak. The festival features 4K-restored feature films, non-fiction documentaries, and digitised fragments of incomplete works. Screenings include his major directorial works such as 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' and 'Jukti Takko Aar Gappo', alongside works where he contributed as a screenwriter or actor. The restorations were conducted under the National Film Heritage Mission (NFHM), a Ministry of Information and Broadcasting initiative aimed at preserving India's audiovisual heritage, with technical supervision by cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay to ensure fidelity to the original vision.
