Indubala Bhaater Hotel

If you liked old classics from Ritwik, Ray or Mrinal Sen - you will love it. It's a story about a woman standing up against the tide to live her life and embracing everything good without judgement. Heavily influenced by old bengali master film makers ( it's a compliment) - beautiful use of editing, lights and above all music.

It grows on you as you watch every episode. Especially for people who came from that world see the glimpse of their past there. It also blends the beauty of a lifestyle and value system in the struggle of Indubala.

It's a series that deserves to be saved and watched multiple times. Probably one of the best web series I ever watched so far !!!

Such a masterpiece! After so many years, I have seen such a Bengali 'work'. This is fully bengali, amazing series. No overacting, no drama, so real! I have cried so many times when I was watching. This is the story of every Dida and Thakuma who has married to this country from Purbabanga. My family is also belong to Purba banga. My thakuma also came here that time with my father and pisi..

And the cooking.. how awesome and real they were! Fully bengali dishes. I watch so many popular high budget movies and shows these days. Most of them are English and Hindi. But this series is above everything. Subscribed to Hoichoi only to watch this series.

Thank you so much 💓

A woman's emotional journey in the backdrop of Bengali Partition in the early '70s, blended with Bengali's culinary supremacy. Based on Kallol Lahiri's phenomenally hit novella in Bengali literature in recent times. The stories and sentiments surrounding epar Bangla or what is now Bangladesh, and opar Bangla or today's West Bengal, play a pivotal role here.

This web series is not about a Hotel or Food. This is a story of a woman, and how she takes her life throughout. I think, this is the best work that Subhashree Ganguly has done so far.

With 'Indubala Bhater Hotel', Kallol Lahiri provides food for thought, indeed.

A culturally enriched, intrinsically laid out tale that not only chooses to speak valiantly of all the difficulties & austerities endured by millions of refugees of war, but also sincerely connotes their daily struggles in reinstating themselves in a new community, reestablishing their roots in a new location, and the countless hurdles that came along.

Indubala Bhaater Hotel appears to touch on a variety of delicate subjects through a simple yet effective narration that brings a broad range of human emotions to the forefront, with its music serving as among its most major contributor.

The composition is impeccable, the songs are pure bliss, and they provide you with the much-needed comfort and notable groundedness that you don't even know you desperately desire until you take a listen.

And when you add some fantastic enactments to the mixture, this amalgamation becomes even more so special; a work of art dedicated to all the Bengalis around the world.

Why no one talks about this brilliant series? Because it's made in bengali. 🙂 it's really unfortunate.

It's one of my best Indian series of all time. The emotion, the pain, the beauty of this can be truly felt only by a Bengali. It's soooo much culturally rooted that I doubt anyone else will understand the depth and pain of this series other than a Bangali. The struggle of indubala from her childhood to her old age.. The pain of "desh vag", the beautiful Bengali food she cooked (Bengali foods are the one of the best and most complicated food in the world) is just too good. I can keep writing about this whole day, but I don't want my review to be too long so I'm just gonna say one last thing if you're a Bangali and haven't watched this series please please please just go and watch it.
