Bhalobasa Bhalobasa is a 2008 Bengali romantic drama film directed by Rabi Kinagi. The film stars Kamalika Banerjee, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Hiran Chatterjee in pivotal roles. The movie tells the story of two neighboring families - the Ray family and the Sen family. The Rays are a wealthy family, whereas the Sens are a middle-class family. The two families have been friends for generations but do not share a cordial relationship anymore due to some past misunderstandings.
In the midst of this turbulent relationship between the families, the Ray family's youngest daughter, Bulti (Kamalika Banerjee), falls in love with Raja (Hiran Chatterjee), the youngest son of the Sen family. Despite the opposition from both families, the young couple decides to get married.
The movie takes a beautiful turn as the family members on both sides slowly come to terms with their collective past and see the need to let go of their grievances. As events unfold, the families unite and accept the young couple's love for each other.
The film has several subplots that add to the overall storyline. One such subplot is the love story between Bulti's older sister, Ria (played by Rimjhim Gupta), and the doctor, Sudip (played by Shakti Kapoor), who is treating her. Another subplot revolves around Bulti's brother, Rahul (played by Sabyasachi Chakrabarty), who has to choose between his love for his father, who wants him to join the family business, and his passion for poetry.
The movie has all the elements of a typical Bengali romantic drama - the family feuds, the love stories, the music, and the dance. The music for the film was composed by Ashok Bhadra and became quite popular with the masses. The song "Dhaker Tale Komor Dole" became a chartbuster and was played everywhere.
The performances by the lead actors are decent. Kamalika Banerjee, who plays the female lead, is charming and looks the part of a young girl in love. Hiran Chatterjee, who plays the male lead, gives an average performance. Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, who plays the elder son of the Ray family, steals the show with his acting skills.
Overall, Bhalobasa Bhalobasa is an enjoyable romantic drama that will pull at your heartstrings. It has everything that a Bengali movie-goer expects from a film of this genre. The movie may not have been a commercial success, but it is a movie that will surely be remembered for its music and its heartwarming storyline.
