Gradually situations changed and our NewGen directors brought a significant change in the scenario. There was a time when the Bengali audience stopped going to theatres to watch movies until and unless directors like Rituporno Ghosh, Aparna Sen, or Goutam Ghose got hold of the steering and took Bengali cinema to a comparatively better direction. Though Bengali cinema had seen its golden era during the days of Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen, after them, there was a hollowness in the cinema industry thanks to cliche content and poor acting. Before Satyajit Ray, directors like Ritwik Ghatak began a new trend of realistic cinema, showing a new form of film-making known as parallel cinema. The first Bengali feature film was produced as early as 1918. The history of Bengali cinema dates back to the 1890s when the first ‘bioscopes’ were shown in theatres of Calcutta. Cinema and literature play an integral part in keeping Bongs well-rooted in their culture. Along with applying copious amounts of Boroline, eating tons of fish, and eagerly waiting for Durga puja, Bengalis are raised to love their heritage and culture.
