A film made in the early fifties in bangla.With the limited facilities available this was brilliantly done.The film is about the 'carrying ons' of a group of friends.One of them get married and the rest go along as the groom's entourage. The hilarious situations created are a treat to watch and will forever remain as some of the finest moments of bangla cinema.The next part of the film is about how Gansha, the leader of the group gets a girl.Kali Banerjee as Gansha has put across a performance which is brilliant to say the least.The humour is based on the situations created, and never is it senseless or contrived.A pity really that we have never, since, seen as funny a movie. I do not know if the movie still exists in any form.A remake couldn't match the subtle humour of the original.

Bengali cinema is admired for its poetic realism, humanist focus, and deep literary ties. Often influenced by literature, it balances art-house traditions with socially conscious storytelling, exploring morality, class, and the rhythms of rural life.
