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.

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.

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.

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.
