Anirban Bhattacharya at the success party of Ballabhpurer Roopkotha at Balcony, Trapeze. “I would like to thank the audience for showering so much love on our film. It has now completed 50 days in the theatres. The audience has become the real heroes of this film,” smiled Anirban, the director of the film. Based on Badal Sarkar’s popular drama piece, Ballabhpurer Roopkotha zeroes in on the crumbling Rajbari of Ballabhpur, which only has two men living in it, the last descendant of the Ray dynasty, Bhupati Ray, and Monohor. The dynasty merely exists as there is no trace of wealth. Bhupati is overburdened with heavy debts until one day he gets a proposal to sell off the property. What continues is a hullabaloo of events revolving around Bhupati Ray, Monohor, the buyers and a ghost that makes Ballabhpur Rajbari a place of chaos for that night. Pictures: Rashbehari Das
