Film Festival : Best Director for Rituparno Ghosh. 2007: National Film Award – Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film) for Prosenjit Chatterjee References Tidbits Director Rituparno Ghosh says no connection should be made between the content and black-and-white theme. It was just his fascination to do a black-and-white film. In his own words at the inauguration of the Tel-Aviv Indian film festival in 2007: "Don't try to relate the subject to the chromatic value. Because I thought I want to do a black and white film and that is the ultimate logic. Because often we see as tech advances a newer format comes into being, the older format is thrown, banished from our life. It does not remain as a creative choice anymore....."
