UNCUT - Ujjal Ghosh | MOTIF Films NZ
This episode features the renowned New Zealand theatre personality Mr. Ujjal Ghosh - an engineer by profession and he has been associated with Indian theatre for more than a decade and is widely appreciated for his mastery not only in the Bengali but also in the overall Indian community of New Zealand
Mr. Ujjal Ghosh tells us about his journey, answers some direct critical questions about himself and ends the episode with his signature style recitation

Ujjal Ghosh - a name synonymous with Indian theatre in New Zealand. A true thespian who has proved his acting and direction prowess over and over and over again! He also has been widely appreciated as Dipanjan in our film ‘Upohaar’
But with fame and accomplishments come a lot of bumps and questions. He sat with Roopam Choudhury to give an insight into his journey, passion, thoughts and of course answers to some direct criticism(s)
* Is he a selfish actor? Is he stuck to comfort roles? Why did he leave a group recently? Why so protective about Tagore? Why is Feluda more interesting to him than any other literary detective(s)?
