Ballavpurer Roopkatha

This year, Bengali Cinema has gifted us with so many gems, Ballabhpurer Roopkotha is the icing on the cake. I can say, this is The BEST Bengali Comedy after Anik Dutta's Bhooter Bhabishyat. This is completely a TRUE Bengali film. You may predict the story in moments but you'll enjoy every single minute of the film.

An amazing ensemble cast performance. Though everyone was equally brilliant loved Debraj Bhattacharya the most both as an actor and music composer. I think his character was tough to portray, but he did it with perfection. All the songs are too good & also quite unique.

Lastly, Anirban Bhattacharya as writer, director & lyricist. 💥

Now in Cinemas. 🎬

A descendant from a Royal family at Ballabhpur, Bhupati Roy who is broke and urgently in need of money decides to sell his crumbling 400-year-old palace to repay his debters and start a law practice in partnership with his friend. As prepares to impress a buyer who is fond of heritage structures, Bhupati Roy doesn't tell him that the palace is haunted by the ghost of a cursed ancestor.

A comedy of errors then ensues as the ghost makes its appearance in the presence of the buyers. Will Bhupati Roy be able to sell his house ? Will the cursed soul ever find peace ?

Another masterpiece by Anirban Bhattacharya. Superb direction, impeccable comic timing & Grt casting where all the actors slip into their characters seamlessly.

A treat to watch overall.

Loved the song "Chaarsho bochor periye", quite hummable !!

If you have watched and enjoyed Manojder Adbhut Bari, u will love this one too.. fun unlimited .. total dhamaal !!

4/5 for this one ... Adios 🙂

Another top notch quality work by Anirban and team after Mandaar. Screenplay, cinematography, sound design, acting was really emersive. The way they portraied the landscapes of Bengal, I'v only heard those in my grandpa's stories and not many films have actually shown that in recent times.

Badal Sarkar's story needs no further praise. The way they presented it on the big screen was brilliant as the story was revolving in a single courtroom but it never felt monotonous.

Every scene is visually very asthetic and makers made sure that you will never get the same experience in a small screen. Its one of those films which youll miss, not watching in the cinema hall.

The songs in this movie are really purposefull and well written. They do get stuck in your mind for days and you'll keep humming "Shajo sajao" or "Charsho bochor periye ajo dariye ache" unknowingly.

The actors did a really good job. Everyone really pulled of their charecters well.

The comedy sometimes missed the mark but 90% of it hit the mark really well.

Overall its a complete film and a must watch if you want a light hearted comedy-horror experience.

This movie is a gem, pure gem. The performance of each and every character were beyond amazing. I could not tell if they were doing their part, it felt so real and so honest, so funny, so emotional, so dramatic. Kudos to Anirban, for creating this masterpiece. And of course, Late Badal Sircar for writing such an incredible play.

I recently watched many popular movies in different languages like RRR, Brahmastra, Avatar way of water. I don't like to compare movies, but those movies were too lengthy, were not very engaging. I am surprised how much box office record they did.

The sad part is that a brilliant film like Ballabhpurer Roopkotha did not get its due. If we, bengalis don't promote our talents in bigger forums then who else would.

Go to theaters or get Hoichoi subscription and WATCH Ballabhpurer Roopkotha.

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.
