This movie came out as a total surprise to me..Very seldom will you see me give 9 stars to a movie..but this movie deserves it thoroughly. What strikes me most is the plot..and is closely followed by the direction and screenplay. The director has done a fantastic job in trending the story with different angles and does an amazing job in weaving all the characters together. Also the way the story is narrated through the ages flawlessly leaves me amazed. Well Done Anik Dutta...what you have created here, brings Bengali cinema to a different stage! I do hope that in future we continue to see such originality and wonderful direction from Anik Dutta.

One stark difference between Ray and his two great contemporaries Mrinal Sen and Ritwik Ghatak is that Ray's movies, although being of the so-called art film genre, were as acceptable and entertaining to the masses as they appeal to the senses of the intelligentsia. Anik Dutta's directorial debut primarily catches that aspect of film-making where he was able to delve into Bangalis' thoughts and existence through generations across sections of the society via the multicoloured characterisations in this film. It is a wholesome entertainer which drives home pertinent points of modern and erstwhile Bengali society through comic relief to the masses. Read a full-blown article on the front page of a popular Bengali daily (which happened to publish the story the film is based on) and decided to watch this one, and it matched up to its review, a deservedly huge huge hit and a wonderful movie... 7/10

One of the best things to happen to Bengali cinema post Satyajit Ray is this particular movie,which builds up carefully with every attention to the minutest detail and continues that,till its end. The basic storyline is simple and revolves around a known haunted mansion in Kolkata.The choice of characters by the director,and their portrayal by very capable actors along with mind blowing one liners are the very essence of this movie.The music throughout the movie,the cinematography,editing,use of lights in few particular settings,and over all its simplicity in presentation are all its plus points. It is one of the very few current movies in any language whatsoever,that one can see again and again and again,and still find its superb flair and charm as the very first time.

Oh my god! I have never seen a combination like this or nearer to this in Bengali films. I don't like comedy films. But it's representing a 100 year (nearly) history & a extraordinary combination of it beyond the comedie. It has screened 5-6 generation in the same screen. It's a sign which indicates that Bengali films are improving day by day. A very interesting & marvellous storyline. Excellent writing, thinking and direction by Anik Datta. Acting was also very perfect. Glad to see Shabyasaci, Parambrata, Poran, Mir, Saswata & Swastika in the same screen. I'm too late to watch this film 🙄

Excellent movie,really appreciable,The topic which the director / writer has chosen is very real and very much substantial in the current scenario of kolkata. But the story line / scrip, which have been chosen to express the same in front of audience is truly remarkable. Anything related to ghost brings a certain kind of chilling effect / horror within us. But may be this is the first time I am watching a movie where Ghost have been used as a element of comedy.

Best of luck to the whole cast and crew and expecting more and more this kind of movies from the director.

It reminds us the famous movie "Hirak Rajar Deshe" by Late Satyajit Roy.

Again congrats and best of luck.
