Indubala Bhaater Hotel

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.

If you liked old classics from Ritwik, Ray or Mrinal Sen - you will love it. It's a story about a woman standing up against the tide to live her life and embracing everything good without judgement. Heavily influenced by old bengali master film makers ( it's a compliment) - beautiful use of editing, lights and above all music.

It grows on you as you watch every episode. Especially for people who came from that world see the glimpse of their past there. It also blends the beauty of a lifestyle and value system in the struggle of Indubala.

It's a series that deserves to be saved and watched multiple times. Probably one of the best web series I ever watched so far !!!

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.

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!
