Basanta Bilap

This movie is one of the finest movie Bengal has produced .

I don't usually laugh out loud while watching most movies, so this was a pleasant and wonderful surprise. I laughed so hard I now have a stitch on my side. This was a very funny movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I never expected to laugh so hard at a movie and this has just been phenomenal. The comic timing of all the actors is noteworthy, and every actor has done a very good job in their specific roles. However, the best, and the one who has overshadowed everyone else has been Anup Kumar. His comic timing, his expressions, and most importantly, his screen presence, is brilliant.

Soumitra Chattopadhyay and Aparna Sen were great in their lead roles, and Rabi Ghosh and Chinmoy Roy were fantastic additions to the cast. The roles of the other women were short though, as the film revolved mainly around the interactions of the male group. This movie is truly enjoyable, and I have been rewinding and watching the funniest scenes over and over again, especially the one with the cycle. A brilliant comedy that deserves all the love. Multiple-time watch for sure!

It's sad that this little gem is forgotten. The current crop of pretentious filmmakers of Bengal don't possess the ability to create another of Basanta Bilap's kind.
