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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

@Satyam_Bhattacharya you have done great job. From start to end i really enjoyed your acting and skills. I would specially thanks to the Sound team and light they have done a wonderful job.

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.
