    "one of the best original movies made by any Indian director"

    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.

    Similarities

    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.

    decent satire

    If you missed this movie you will miss lot of things in life.. great storyline.

    It's a lesson for all .

    I don't know how much of an impact this movie has had on today's generation . In the movie "Galpa Haleo Sotti", people's conscience and individual consciousness have been awakened. The story shows the rhythm, variety and joy that can be found in each work.The daily life of a middle class family, the complexities of the world, family conflicts, quarrels, violence have been highlighted.However, there is a deep sense of humor hidden in this story.

    In this story, a new person appears to remove the darkness of the mind, simplify the complex aspects of life, put a smile on people's faces and show the depth of the relationship.

    What is the solution to all the problems of the world in a beautiful moment, the way to live a new way of life can be strengthened through this movie.

    Legendary director "Tapan Sinha" and exceptional actor "Ravi Ghosh" have taken the movie to another level.. But let me also say that those who were in the side characters have strengthened the foundation of the story with their extraordinary acting ability

    The main purpose of this film is to show the direction of light by removing the darkness of the mind.

    Wonderful

    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.
