Then came legends like Ritwik Ghatak with films like ‘Meghe Dhaka Tara’ and Mrinal Sen’s parallel cinema movement.

Today’s Bengali cinema is experiencing another golden period. Directors like Srijit Mukherji gave us hits like ‘Autograph’ and ‘Hemlock Society’. Anirudh Roy Chowdhury’s ‘Pink’ (later remade in Hindi) proved Bengali directors can create pan-Indian content.

The budget might be smaller compared to Bollywood (average Bengali film costs ₹2-5 crores), but the storytelling is often richer.
