Kaushik Ganguly is an Indian director, screenwriter and actor in Bengali cinema. He is known for his works that explore sexuality, like Ushnatar Janye (2003), which deals with a lesbian relationship, and Arekti Premer Golpo (2010), which examines transgender identity.[2] His other films explore various social issues.

Life and career

Ganguly was born in Kolkata on 4 August 1968 to noted instrumentalist Sunil Ganguly. He attended Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya, Narendrapur and then South Point school later Jadavpur University where he worked on a degree in Bengali literature.[3] While at university he started a theatre troupe with his future wife actress Churni Ganguly and Suman Mukhopadhyay (who would later become a film director). In 1987, Ganguly began working as a screenwriter for Tollywood films. In 1995, he moved to ETV Bangla to direct telefilms like Ushnatar Janye, Ulka and Aatithi.[4] These telefilms incorporated elements like lesbianism and sex determination that had not been depicted in Bengali television productions before.[2]

In 2004 Ganguly directed his first feature film Waarish starring Debashree Roy and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty.[4] It was a commercial failure,[5] but he continued in cinema with Shunyo E Buke (2005) starring Kaushik Sen, Tota Roy Chowdhury and Churni Ganguly. It tells the story of an artist's unrealistic expectations regarding his wife's personal appearance.[6] It was screened at London's Tongues on Fire Film Festival in February 2004 and at Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema.[7][8] In 2009 he released the low-budget comedy Brake Fail inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee films.[9] His next film Jackpot starring Koel Mallick and Hiran did very well at the box office. He cast director Rituparno Ghosh as the lead in his 2010 film Arekti Premer Golpo about a gay documentary filmmaker and a transgender Jatra actor. It won awards at the I-View Film Festival and the International Film Festival of India.[3][10] On 9 September 2011 his latest film Rang Milanti released to positive reviews. Ganguly's next film Laptop starring Rahul Bose, Ananya Chatterjee, Rajesh Sharma, Saswata Chatterjee, Churni Ganguly and Gaurav Chakrabarty was selected for screening at the 42nd International Film Festival of India.[11]

Ganguly's Shabdo (2013) won the 60th National Film Awards for Best Feature Film in Bengali.[12] He won the best director award at the 44th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in November 2013 for Apur Panchali.At the 64th National Film Awards 2017, Kaushik Ganguly's Bishorjan bagged the Best Bengali Film award.[1]
