Ballavpurer Roopkotha

Ballavpurer Roopkotha

In 1961, Ray Bahadur Bhupati Ray, the King of Ballabhpur village, is deep in debt. His only material asset is his crumbling 400-year-old ancestral palace. Bhupati wants to move to Kolkata and start a dental clinic, and he tries to sell the palace to pay off his debts. 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. They seek help from three of Bhupati's local creditors, Saha, Srinath and Paban. Bhupati's college friend Sanjib suddenly arrives there and becomes a part of the act by playing the estate's dewan. Mr Haldar arrives that night with his wife Sapna and daughter Chhandaa. Contrary to Bhupati's expectations, he is highly impressed by the historic heritage and the aristocratic flavour of the household. Haldar immediately signs him a cheque for the property. Chhandaa and Bhupati instantly feel attracted to each other. As the Haldars leave after dinner, Bhupati reveals a big secret to Sanjib, one that he has kept from the buyers - Every night after 11 pm, the ghost of Raghupati, Bhupati's ancestor wanders around the palace. He further reveals that Raghupati is trapped in the mansion because of a curse. Raghu Da, as he calls him, can only remove the curse by forcing his rivals, the descendants of the Bhuiyas (royals) of Ballabhpur's rival kingdom Pratapgarh, to surrender and apologize.
