Quotes by Ritwik Ghatak

"Film-making is not an esoteric thing to me. I consider film-making – to start with – a personal thing. If a person does not have a vision of his own, he cannot create."

Ritwik Ghatak

"Tagore once said– art has to be beautiful, but, before that, it has to be truthful. Now, what is truth? There is no eternal truth. Every artist has to learn private truth though a painful private process. And that is what he has to convey."

Ritwik Ghatak

"In relation to man and his society, experiment can not dangle on void. It must belong. Belong to man."

Ritwik Ghatak

"I believe in committed cinema. I mean, commitment in the broadest sense of the term."
