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.

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.

Brilliant rendition and excellent direction. Outstanding performance by Shubhashree. Very well carved music and beautiful songs - so apt and lyrics are so deep and soothing. The sets, the lighting and social picture so well depicted. The flashback and the collage of old and new stories were so well merged. The story is not only strong but also rooted to the core. My grand parents would have enjoyed to the core. The childhood, youth and old age has been meshed so well. We actually binge watched the whole series. All the actors did tjier best. We all enjoyed and look forward to many more such magnificent endeavours.

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.
