Rituparno Ghosh films deal basically with the intense part of the psychology, a bit effeminative; what specifically attracted me was his use of sharp dialogues assigned for the film characters.
However, all these psycho-philosophies are not quite easy to be depicted through a minimal poster. Minimalist Posters require a blatant signature object or a character imposed and glorified abruptly yet significantly. In spite of the emphasis over the Human drama, Rituparno's films were not devoid of all these. Being a fascinating story teller, his films had several layers, characters, a variety as a whole...
So, watching some of his films over and over again, i managed to build up some of the Minimalist Posters.
1. Mimimalist Poster of Shubho Muharat
Well, it does not actually follows the norms of a Minimalist Poster. However those who have watched the film can recall the scene, where several portrait photographs of Nandita Das were hung in Anindya's room. And Anindya, though being in love for her, brings up a stern in his voice, when Nandita tries to touch one of those photographs, "Chhobi ta aami tulechhi!". Perhaps that was the only instance when the character of Anindya sheds off his introvert cocoon, and from his ever defeated tragic fate, he stands apart and shows condifidence of his own credentials.
This is quite simple. The daily life of Ranga Pisima involves largely the caring and looking after the cat Haridasi(whom she claims to be her daughter). Even the optimist philosophy of the storyline, to go above the petty issues of vendetta and revenge, comes from the idea that Ranga Pisima understood, after Haridasi's kittens died last year.

the Rabindrasangeet was used to depict death and immortality in the film. The killer played the song over telephone, after the victim died!
2. Minimal Poster of
Dosar (The Companion)
This one is quite simple.
The car accident shatters the married life of a couple, revealing the secrets of an extra marital affair.
The film was shot entirely in Black n White, thus so is the Poster!
3. Minimal Poster of Khela
(Get Set Go)
Wow! how beautiful akashneel looked without hair !
5. Minimalist Poster of The Last Lear
A strange substiute for a calling bell definitely stands out as a signature instance of the film.
6. Minimalist Poster of Abahaman
It was detected during the editting, that the heroine winked at the camera, during a shot.
7. Minimalist Poster of Bariwali
Honestly, I found it difficult to make a Minimalist Poster out of an intense film like Bariwali (The Lady of the House). However after watching the movie a several times, two ideas stuck upon me. One was something related to Manasa Mangal Kabya, as the film emphasized several situations, glorifying the similarity between the lives of the protagonist lady and the epical character of Behula.
The another idea was the epiphany of the ceiling fan, getting fused off, whenever a change is about to usher in the house.
And then here is a special kind of Minimal Posters, which I like to term "Media Minimalist Posters."
The mention of the impact, use and relevance of Social Communicative Medias has come repeatetively itn Ghosh's film.. And so I thought why not exploit this concept as Minimalist Poster Ideas..!

অনেকগুলি পোস্টার বেশ ভাল। কয়েকটি তো অসাধারণ। উৎসবের ও আবহমানের আরো কয়েকটা পোস্টার কি তৈরী করা সম্ভব? দস্তিদারবাবুকে ধন্যবাদ....
