 Another feature of many of his films is the ample use of songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore to convey a range of emotions.

Nagarik (Bengali: নাগরিক ), also spelled as Nagorik, The Citizen in English, was the first feature-length film directed by Indian director Ritwik Ghatak.
 Completed in 1952, it preceded Satyajit Ray's "Pather Panchali" as perhaps the first example of an art film in Bengali cinema, but is deprived of that honor, since it was released twenty-four years later, after Ghatak's death.
 On 20 September 1977, it finally premiered at the New Empire theatre in Kolkata, India.
 Ritwik Ghatak directed only eight feature films, but is generally regarded as one of the few truly original Indian talents in cinema by directors such as Satyajit Ray and critics such as Derek Malcolm.
Ritwik Ghatak (Bengali: ঋত্বিক কুমার ঘটক , "Ritbik Kumar Ghôţôk",    ; 4 November 19256 February 1976) was a Bengali filmmaker and script writer.
 Along with prominent contemporary Bengali filmmakers Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen, his cinema is primarily remembered for its meticulous depiction of social reality.
 Although their roles were often adversarial, they were ardent admirers of each other's work and, in doing so, the three directors charted the independent trajectory of parallel cinema, as a counterpoint to the mainstream fare of Hindi cinema in India.
 Ghatak received many awards in his career, including National Film Award's Rajat Kamal Award for Best Story in 1974 for his "Jukti Takko Aar Gappo" and Best Director's Award from Bangladesh Cine Journalist's Association for "Titash Ekti Nadir Naam".
 The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri for Arts in 1970.
Tapan Sinha (2 October 1924 – 15 January 2009) was one of the most prominent Indian film directors of his time forming a legendary quartet with Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen.
 He was primarily a Bengali filmmaker who worked both in Hindi cinema and Bengali cinema, directing films like "Kabuliwala" (1957), "Louha-Kapat", "Sagina Mahato" (1970), "Apanjan" (1968), "Kshudhita Pashan" and children's film "Safed Haathi" (1978) and "Aaj Ka Robinhood".
 Sinha started his career in 1946, as a sound engineer with New Theatres film production house in Kolkata, then in 1950 left for England where he worked at Pinewood Studios for next two years, before returning home to start his six decade long career in Indian cinema, making films in Bengali, Hindi and Oriya languages, straddling genres from social realism, family drama, labour rights, to children's fantasy films.
 He was arguably the most uncompromising filmmaker outside the orbit of Parallel Cinema.
Ramkinkar Baij (or Ramkinkar)- is an incomplete personality study or documentary on sculptor Ramkinkar Baij created by legendary filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak.
 He started creating the film in 1975.
 The film was almost complete but it still remained unfinished for the death of Ritwik Ghatak.
