Ballabhpurer Roopkotha

This year, Bengali Cinema has gifted us with so many gems, Ballabhpurer Roopkotha is the icing on the cake. I can say, this is The BEST Bengali Comedy after Anik Dutta's Bhooter Bhabishyat. This is completely a TRUE Bengali film. You may predict the story in moments but you'll enjoy every single minute of the film.

An amazing ensemble cast performance. Though everyone was equally brilliant loved Debraj Bhattacharya the most both as an actor and music composer. I think his character was tough to portray, but he did it with perfection. All the songs are too good & also quite unique.

Lastly, Anirban Bhattacharya as writer, director & lyricist. 💥

Now in Cinemas. 🎬

Another top notch quality work by Anirban and team after Mandaar. Screenplay, cinematography, sound design, acting was really emersive. The way they portraied the landscapes of Bengal, I'v only heard those in my grandpa's stories and not many films have actually shown that in recent times.

Badal Sarkar's story needs no further praise. The way they presented it on the big screen was brilliant as the story was revolving in a single courtroom but it never felt monotonous.

Every scene is visually very asthetic and makers made sure that you will never get the same experience in a small screen. Its one of those films which youll miss, not watching in the cinema hall.

The songs in this movie are really purposefull and well written. They do get stuck in your mind for days and you'll keep humming "Shajo sajao" or "Charsho bochor periye ajo dariye ache" unknowingly.

The actors did a really good job. Everyone really pulled of their charecters well.

The comedy sometimes missed the mark but 90% of it hit the mark really well.

Overall its a complete film and a must watch if you want a light hearted comedy-horror experience.

A descendant from a Royal family at Ballabhpur, Bhupati Roy who is broke and urgently in need of money decides to sell his crumbling 400-year-old palace to repay his debters and start a law practice in partnership with his friend. As prepares to impress a buyer who is fond of heritage structures, Bhupati Roy doesn't tell him that the palace is haunted by the ghost of a cursed ancestor.

A comedy of errors then ensues as the ghost makes its appearance in the presence of the buyers. Will Bhupati Roy be able to sell his house ? Will the cursed soul ever find peace ?

Another masterpiece by Anirban Bhattacharya. Superb direction, impeccable comic timing & Grt casting where all the actors slip into their characters seamlessly.

A treat to watch overall.

Loved the song "Chaarsho bochor periye", quite hummable !!

If you have watched and enjoyed Manojder Adbhut Bari, u will love this one too.. fun unlimited .. total dhamaal !!

4/5 for this one ... Adios 🙂

Thanks Anirban Bhattacharya, for taking us back to the Golden years of 60's & 70's Bengali Wholesome comedies. Adapted from a play of Badal Sarkar, this movie boasts of fantastic performances with impeccable comic timing, especially Satyam Bhattacharya and Shyamal Chakraborty as Bhupati & Monohar. The dialogues are well written and the laughs are less reliant on slapstick and more on irony and sarcasm. The most special part of this film is the Cinematography by Soumik Haldar, the shot selection, lighting and color grading, everything was world class. Music also contributes a lot to set up the mood. The retro vibe of the film fills us with nostalgia. A great Family entertainer.
