Dasgupta began making films with documentary and short. He made his first feature film 'Dooratwa' in 1978. After that his contemporary & poetic films got the national & international recognition!

 

I first saw his film 'Bagh Bahadur' (1989) in FTII. Then since 1995, I have been watching his films like 'Charachar', 'Lal Darja', 'Mondo - Meyer Upakhyan' to 'Kaal Purush' (2008) in the Panorama of our 'International Film Festival of India'!

We had good discussion on his - cinematic work. In that he always emphasized on the language of.. camera! 

 

Most of his films won national awards and international too in the festivals like Venice, Berlin & Karlovy Vary!

 

Homage to him!!
