Ballabhpurer Roopkotha

Horror-comedy is probably one of those niche subgenres that the Bengali film industry has traditionally disparaged! As is readily apparent by scrutinizing their history and the films they have produced up until the present day. Now, I am not suggesting that there have been no previous attempts; in fact, there have been a few, but the number is tiny.

It's quite an uncharted territory, scarcely explored, so I'd want to personally thank the actor-director Anirban Bhattacharya for taking this audacious initiative and for providing us such a delightfully entertaining journey.

Not only did he accomplish an almost perfect balance between two separate filmmaking styles (Horror & Comedy), but he also exuded this rare technical competence that seems to cater to both the elite and the ordinary. A rare quality indeed.
