Galpa Holeo Satyi

This is one of the classics of Bengali comedies. Hilarious yet having a very relevant social message. Directed by one of the great directors of Bengal Mr. Tapan Sinha and starring one of Bengali film industries comic geniuses Mr. Rabi Ghosh ,this film entertains people some of whom were born after Rabi Ghosh died. Its evergreen. Its also been remade in several Indian languages, the most prominent one was in Hindi called 'Bawarchi' starring Rajesh Khanna and Jaya Bhadhuri. Ghosh plays a manservant cum cook who shows up one day at a very dysfunctional family who is suffering a crisis – lack of domestic help and consequently chaos reign in the household. They hire him. He immediately takes over and takes complete control of the running of day to day affairs. He's so good that its comical the way he handles everything so masterfully. He is to housekeepers what Mary Poppins is to nannies/governesses. Gradually he cures the family off its dysfunctional aspects. This movie has a great ensemble cast of actors who are all great in their roles and still ranks as one of the greatest films from 'Tollywood'. And the best part is that it never ceases to be funny/feel-good even on viewing multiple times. Watch it with family and friends and I promise you a very quality time. Happy Viewing folks!

WARNING! Its in Black and White and for folks with new fangled gadgetry its a sacrilege. Keep an open mind and watch it anyway.

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!

Golpo Holeo Shotti blends supernatural mystery with emotional depth, delivering a suspenseful narrative that keeps you engaged. The performances are sincere, and the atmosphere is gripping, making it a compelling watch for fans of psychological horror and drama. A must watch, go for it and enjoy the experience.

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.
