Ballabhpurer Roopkotha

Ballabhpurer Roopkotha is a 2022 Indian Bengali language supernatural comedy drama film directed by Anirban Bhattacharya in his feature directorial debut,[1][2] based on the 1954 eponymous play by Badal Sarkar.

[2][3][4] It follows a debt-laden royal scion as he tries to pay off creditors by selling his ancestral palace, while trying to hide a potentially deal-breaking secret.

As a potential buyer, businessman Mr. Haldar, informs him that he will come over to take a look at the property, Bhupati and his faithful butler, Monohar, set about to give the house a new look.

Bhupati's college friend Sanjib suddenly arrives there and becomes a part of the act by playing the estate's dewan.

Bhupati and Sanjib panic and get anxious while Monohar makes modest arrangements for their guests' night stay.

Bhupati tries to calm Raghu, but the latter continues his manic laughter and starts reciting verses or Sanskrit shloks.

Sapna is furious to see 'Bhupati' flirting with her daughter late at night, and forces her husband to cancel the deal.

When his bullets prove no match for Raghu, Mr Chowdhury finally kneels down and begs forgiveness.

[3][5][7][8][9] Writing for The Telegraph, Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri called it "an important film as far as Bengali cinema is concerned, which is going through what is without a doubt its most barren phase in years, both creatively and commercially".
