Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari today condoled the untimely death of renowned Bengali film director Rituparno Ghosh, saying he was a creative genius whose films left a deep imprint on the minds of the audience.
"I am deeply shocked by the tragic and premature death of Ghosh. He was a creative genius who gave a new dimension to film making with every film that he was associated with," Tewari said in his condolence message.
"His films always left a deep imprint on minds of the audiences who were captivated by the honest portrayal of human emotions," he said.
In Ghosh's death, cinema has lost a visionary, Tewari said.
"As Ghosh was always innovative and bold in undertaking new themes for his films, his death has left a void which will be very difficult to fill," the minister said, adding.
