This film is about a man Raja bhallav who's desperately wanting to sell his ancestors Rajbari but is unable to do so because of its poor condition and the existence of a ghost with a past. Fun begins when a genuine buyer turns up and Bhallav needs to act well in order to sell the house.
It's not a howlarious film but the fun and comedy are light and so naturally pulled off that it instantly brings a grin or smile on your face. There's no shouting screaming like comedy , just pure conversations and sometimes hilarious confusions especially when Chanda keeps questioning Bhallav and his friend Sanjib .
If you are looking for a nice light hearted comedy , this is one film for you.

Watched a wholesome Bangla entertainer after a very long time! As a huge Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay fan, each frame and scene of Ballabhpurer Roopkatha was a delight for me to watch. Every actor, despite not being the so called established names, did a swell job of bringing the characters to life. The protagonist, Satyam Bhattacharya, is just mind blowing! Such a simple, linear story told in such an engaging way! The dialogs are just optimally comic, the supernatural setting is perfectly balanced with the comic one...I can go on and on. One small disppointnent: would have loved to see the director playing one of the roles.
Watch this one and watch it along with the little ones.

Horror-comedy is probably one of those niche subgenres that the Bengali film industry has traditionally disparaged! As is readily apparent by scrutinizing their history and the films they have produced up until the present day. Now, I am not suggesting that there have been no previous attempts; in fact, there have been a few, but the number is tiny.
It's quite an uncharted territory, scarcely explored, so I'd want to personally thank the actor-director Anirban Bhattacharya for taking this audacious initiative and for providing us such a delightfully entertaining journey.
Not only did he accomplish an almost perfect balance between two separate filmmaking styles (Horror & Comedy), but he also exuded this rare technical competence that seems to cater to both the elite and the ordinary. A rare quality indeed.

I am feeling very proud that i am Bengali. The movie was very Heart touching. Lots of emotions and Best Comedy movie. I do respect Anirban, how he present entire thing and his effort.
The entire team of this film has been done such a finest job to build this movie. Sending love for all team members. Cast was superb, Acting was great. Everything is mind blowing. Every one should watch this movie like with your friend or family.

It has been a long while since I have watched a cinema in a theatre, that kept me entertained and engaged thoroughly, throughout its run; like this one did. The acting was spot on, the pacing was legit, the story felt like a good 60s Bengali comedy film, and the humour.... I can't remember the last time I laughed so much in a theatre. The only film I think I have watched that can be compared to this film tonally and thematically, is Bhooter Bhobishot... I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a good, hearty laugh; that can be enjoyed with family, to check it out. This film merits attraction, exploring the rich sides of Bengali theatre, that is nowhere used enough in cinemas.
