Indubala Bhaater Hotel

Such a masterpiece! After so many years, I have seen such a Bengali 'work'. This is fully bengali, amazing series. No overacting, no drama, so real! I have cried so many times when I was watching. This is the story of every Dida and Thakuma who has married to this country from Purbabanga. My family is also belong to Purba banga. My thakuma also came here that time with my father and pisi..

And the cooking.. how awesome and real they were! Fully bengali dishes. I watch so many popular high budget movies and shows these days. Most of them are English and Hindi. But this series is above everything. Subscribed to Hoichoi only to watch this series.

Thank you so much 💓

Post partition trauma faced by a young woman named indubala. Who later set up a hotel by her name. But, I don't get association of Muslim characters in this movie. And the ridiculous concept of a Hindu woman having Muslim boyfriend or in other words the promotion of love jihad to indicate communal harmony. Then, why not the contrary happens in this case i.e. A Muslim woman with a Hindu boyfriend. Was there a scarcity of Hindu boys in the village of kolapota? And moreover wasn't there anybody to notice the midnight arrival of indubala's naxalite lover? My ancestors also hail from the erstwhile East Bengal which is now presently called Bangladesh. But, I never heard them telling 'daawat' instead of 'nimantran' for inviting someone. Also Indubala's expression of sorrow for the demise of monirul seemed deeper than the death of her entire family. Sorry to say, but this isn't much respectful for indubala's character. Nevertheless, the storyline isn't very pondering either. An old lady reminiscing bygone days & occasionally tussling with younger her sons on the matter of renovating the hotel.

Yeah, the actors did good job on portraying the characters. But, this web series seemed to me a bit overrated & lacking the engagement.

A woman's emotional journey in the backdrop of Bengali Partition in the early '70s, blended with Bengali's culinary supremacy. Based on Kallol Lahiri's phenomenally hit novella in Bengali literature in recent times. The stories and sentiments surrounding epar Bangla or what is now Bangladesh, and opar Bangla or today's West Bengal, play a pivotal role here.

This web series is not about a Hotel or Food. This is a story of a woman, and how she takes her life throughout. I think, this is the best work that Subhashree Ganguly has done so far.

With 'Indubala Bhater Hotel', Kallol Lahiri provides food for thought, indeed.

I don't usually give reviews ...I think after a long time I saw such a good work in "BANGLA" .. What can happen with good direction I saw it today .. For Subhashree Ganguly,I think this is one of the best of her career after "Parineeta" .. Everyone's acting is amazing.

Directions Directions..wow man wow..No more adjectives to say for now..thanks for making such a movie..I don't know how many times tears fell from my eyes...Feeling proud after a long time.

Sneha Chatterjee has done Lakshmi character really well ..her way of speaking ..her accent..and also angana Roy ..and all the male characters. BRAVO

And last but not the list background music....can't go wrong with any scene..Thanks again..LOVE LOVE.

Melancholy which makes one's throat choke and ache with silently accumulating tears, comes with a pensive slowly trickling happiness. After a long time of mediocre shallow rootless series both in television and OTT, Indubala takes us to our root- of a forgotten often avoided history. And that connects. Like it should have. Must watch.

Very well made, slowly built with parallel storylines converging in framing a comprehensive tale of different times and people. Brilliant acting and editing. What stands out is the background score and use of songs which intensifies all of the expressions which not only the director and author wanted to portray but rather create a symphony with the viewers. It will be a classic.
