Ritwik Ghatak And The Cinema Of Praxis by Diamond Oberoi Vahali
A scholarly exploration of Ritwik Ghatak’s work that reads his cinema as a politically committed practice, fusing aesthetic form with revolutionary intent. It examines themes of Partition, displacement, nation-making, and gender through analyses of melodrama, myth, sound, and Brechtian estrangement across his key films. Drawing on close readings and his pedagogical and theoretical writings, it argues that his formal innovations and affective strategies cohere into a radical cinematic praxis aimed at social transformation.
