One of the finest cinematic gems in the Bengali language, this movie stands as a testament to the essence of family dynamics in mid-20th century urban Bengal. Set against the backdrop of a society yet untouched by the ultraleftist movement, it offers a poignant portrayal of the intricate fabric of familial relationships. Unofficially considered the first installment of Tapan Sinha's revered 'Calcutta trilogy', alongside 'Aponjon' and 'Ekhoni', it captivates audiences with its unique storyline and enchanting background music-both trademarks of Tapanbabu's cinematic brilliance.
However, beyond its captivating narrative lies the true allure of this masterpiece-the natural and captivating performances by every actor, male and female alike. Each character breathes life into the screen with their impeccable portrayal, while the flawless screenplay keeps viewers engaged till the credits roll. Amidst the layers of storytelling, a subtle yet profound supernatural and philosophical theme weaves its way, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative.
In the realm of 'movies on Calcutta' from that era, this stands out as a singular creation, blending humor and philosophy seamlessly. Among the nine films crafted by the esteemed trio of Mrinal Sen, Satyajit Ray, and Tapan Sinha, this movie emerges as a unique gem, offering a refreshing take on the genre.
In conclusion, as the timeless wisdom of Dhananjay resonates within each of us, this movie serves as a gentle reminder to seek and nurture the essence of goodness within, for the betterment of humanity. Truly, it is a cinematic masterpiece that transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of its viewers.

In this black and white epic, we see Ravi Ghosh as Dhananjoy, a stranger who suddenly arrives at a home and alters the life of the family living there. The acting of Ravi Ghosh and the exceptional story of the film bring this to a height for all time!

This is the best of Sinha, no doubt. Not only among the great fives, but this is one of the best original movies made by any Indian director. This movie has been adapted in multiple languages. Now I can recall about at least five movies inspired this one. I know whoever is reading the review must have watched this film, but if not, disconnect from internet and buy the film as the first thing - this is not a request, an order.
The story has a similarities with The Bishop's Wife and It's a wonderful life.But the scenario is purely Indian. And the problems solved here are without any miracle.
A typical Bengali movie review statement example includes an intro with film details, a summary of the plot, and an analysis of acting, visuals, and music, followed by a conclusion with a recommendation. For example: (Shyamal Bongo)(Arnab Sen) Well-known playwright, theatre activist/director, and film-maker/actor Bratya Basu's film is well-intentioned but suffers from a muddled execution.
