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 💓

A culturally enriched, intrinsically laid out tale that not only chooses to speak valiantly of all the difficulties & austerities endured by millions of refugees of war, but also sincerely connotes their daily struggles in reinstating themselves in a new community, reestablishing their roots in a new location, and the countless hurdles that came along.

Indubala Bhaater Hotel appears to touch on a variety of delicate subjects through a simple yet effective narration that brings a broad range of human emotions to the forefront, with its music serving as among its most major contributor.

The composition is impeccable, the songs are pure bliss, and they provide you with the much-needed comfort and notable groundedness that you don't even know you desperately desire until you take a listen.

And when you add some fantastic enactments to the mixture, this amalgamation becomes even more so special; a work of art dedicated to all the Bengalis around the world.

Why no one talks about this brilliant series? Because it's made in bengali. 🙂 it's really unfortunate.

It's one of my best Indian series of all time. The emotion, the pain, the beauty of this can be truly felt only by a Bengali. It's soooo much culturally rooted that I doubt anyone else will understand the depth and pain of this series other than a Bangali. The struggle of indubala from her childhood to her old age.. The pain of "desh vag", the beautiful Bengali food she cooked (Bengali foods are the one of the best and most complicated food in the world) is just too good. I can keep writing about this whole day, but I don't want my review to be too long so I'm just gonna say one last thing if you're a Bangali and haven't watched this series please please please just go and watch it.

I thought of giving it a 9 but in this age of rampant trash, it definitely deserves a 10.

Listening to the overindulgent voice of the senior Indubala initially, I was thinking that it would be another pretentious bad attempt at recreating good cinema of the past decades.

But I was pleasantly silenced and overpowered.

Although it has few veins of that approach at places, but those were generally unavoidable. However, the stealer for me was the background score and soundtrack.

Not only did it transport the mind from here to there effortlessly, it did that without overpowering the dialogues and making my ears twitch to catch the syllables of my mother tongue.

Well done team. And thanks!

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.
