		Titas and the BPDB, state owned boards/companies, are responsible for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the following associated infrastructure: * site preparation and a 938 metre access road completed and maintained by the BPDB; and • a 500 metre natural gas spur pipeline and a RMS to be constructed and maintained by Titas.

	DVD Times - A River Called Titas
		Taken from an autobiographical novel by Advaita Malla Barman (adapted by Ghatak himself), it begins as a relatively small-scale tale of the tragedies that befall a mother and her son before digressing via a number of loosely connected episodes into the equally tragic tale of a fishing community at large.
		Even the river, seemingly the film’s sole constant, is slowly dying.
		Amongst numerous examples there are two especially stunning instances: firstly, a wedding night scored only by the nervous heavy breathing of a young bride-to-be; and secondly, the manner in which the mid-point interval is marked, whereby the dialogue is slowly drowned out mid-speech by the sound of torrential rain.

		Based on a celebrated Bengali novel by Advaita Malla Barman, A River Called Titas was filmed in Ritwik Ghatak's childhood home of East Bengal shortly after the independence of Bangladesh.
		Overwhelmed by the changes in his native land, Ghatak made this, his penultimate feature film, as a grim recognition of the inevitability of change and the terrible cyclical power of loss and resurrection.
		It is perhaps Ghatak's most ambitious project - a raw and powerful tale of a dying river and a dying culture.

		Later on, the moonlight reflecting off the river filters across Neeta's face in the darkness of her bedroom suggest the passing clouds over the night sky and over her face.
		The stars shift from their source in the river (we never see them in the sky) to surround Neeta completely at her most desperate moments – her face clouded in distress but shrouded by tiny twinkling, brilliant reflections.

		Similarly, ``Titas Ekti Nadir Naam'' (a river named Titas) brought out the pathetic tale of a destitute woman and her son.
		The inimitable Ghatak symbolism is visible when a bunch of water hyacinth drifts afloat from the foreground and occupies mid- screen as soon as the boy is left behind on the river bank by the fishermen's boats.
		The summing up was as usual with Ghatak's masterpiece, ``Jukti, Takko ar Gappo,'' (arguments and a story), his last feature film in which he himself acted as the drunken intellectual, Neelkantha.

		That said it is a film that on first viewing is not easily accessible to those without prior knowledge of the customs and traditions of the Hindu Malo fishing community it is dealing with and I was left with the feeling that there was a lot I'd not understood.
		Having later been lucky enough to get hold of the rare translation of the truly fantastic original novel (Titas Ekti Nadir Naam by Advaita Malla Barman, published by Penguin India) the film opened up to me and a lot of detail that the book had time to explain became visible in the film.
		Perhaps the director was at fault for not limiting the adaptation to fit within the scope of a film.

		Inevitably, the villagers' inalterable pattern of austerity, despair, and tragedy emerges as the star-crossed Basanti (Rosy Samad), abandoned by her childhood love, is married off to Kishore's romantic rival Subol, who too is soon lost to the silent, unforgiving waters.
		Adapted from the Bengali novel by Advaita Malo Barman, A River Called Titas is a thoughtful, sincere, and bittersweet chronicle of poverty, obsolescence, cultural identity and erasure.
		Ritwik Ghatak characteristically integrates visual economy, stylized camerawork, and idiosyncratic lyricism through allusive, traditional folk songs, cyclical environmental (and existential) phenomena, and exaggerated natural rhythms and diegetic sounds that illustrate the inherent correlation between landscape and human ritual (fishing activity, tribal customs, and ceremonial festivals).

		A River Called Titas (or, A River Named Titash, 1973) is particularly interesting when you consider that it was made in Bangladesh right after that nation formally became independent.
		This was Ghatak's most troubled shoot as he was suffering from tuberculosis and some personal demons at the time.
		Critic Jacob Levich said each of Ghatak's films "is a work of genuine distinction, marked by formal daring, intellectual vigor, and powerful emotional suasion." Ghatak was one of those artists whose importance sadly wasn't recognized until after his very untimely death in 1975.
