I was recently watching Nakache's "Intouchables" and that reminded me of this one, a story of how one man's appearance changes the dysfunctional dynamics of a large family. I was staggered that this movie has an IMDb weighted average of 4.4 (I see it's actually 8.4; must have made a mistake the day I wrote this review. Apologies). I regard it as one of the best comedy movies I have watched. The film is so successful in what it set out to achieve it appears effortless. Presenting a complex idea in a simple story that provides clean fun at no one's expense, it is an uplifting fantasy that should appeal to a wide range of audience. The actors are almost natural in their roles and do not have to resort to desperate frivolities to elicit a laugh. Similarly, there are no noticeably stylised camera shots that distract from the narrative.
It is not a crude comedy and no one should expect a Johnny Leveresque crassness and that is the strength of this film. This film is fun but it hurts no one in the process and that is a hard act to pull off indeed.

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!
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.
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.
