The National Film Development Corporation, National Film Archive of India (NFDC-NFAI), under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB), has successfully restored the feature filmography of legendary filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak in 4K resolution, marking a significant milestone in the preservation of India's cinematic heritage. According to a press note, to commemorate the visionary director's birth centenary, NFDC-NFAI has partnered with the British Film Institute (BFI) to present a landmark retrospective at the prestigious BFI Southbank in London. The retrospective, which is currently underway, will continue through June 2026 and aims to introduce the filmmaker's work to global audiences in its finest restored form. The restoration project was undertaken under the National Film Heritage Mission (NFHM), the flagship initiative of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting dedicated to preserving and safeguarding India's audiovisual legacy. The meticulous 4K restorations were achieved by utilising various original film elements that have been carefully preserved over decades by the NFDC-NFAI, alongside invaluable resources from the West Bengal State Film Archive. To ensure visual authenticity and strict adherence to the maestro's original cinematic vision, the colour grading process was directly supervised by National Award-winning Indian cinematographer Shri Avik Mukhopadhyay, who lauded the NFHM restoration project and said, I am really proud and enthralled to be part of Ghatak restoration as he is one of the most original filmmakers nationally and internationally. As a Cinematographer, it offered me a scope to watch his beautiful craft closely. NFDC-NFAI's National Film Heritage Mission's Ghatak restoration project is one of their most commendable works for the future generation of film enthusiasts and film lovers. I really thank the whole team for such a painstaking but wonderful effort, as quoted in a press note. Speaking on the institutional significance
