Amar Lenin (Bengali: আমার লেনিন, subtitle: My Lenin) is a 1970 black and white documentary film directed by film director Ritwik Ghatak made[1] for Government of West Bengal in the centenary year (1970) of the birth of Vladimir Lenin.
It is based on the thoughts and views of Ritwik Ghatak on Lenin and communism.
[4] After making the film, countries such as the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of Poland approached Ritwik Ghatak for him to show the movie in those countries.
Ghatak and his team had to work hard to have the movie passed by the censorship board.
Ritwik Ghatak personally met with Indira Gandhi on this matter.
