Bhranti Bilas (transl. Comedy of Errors) is a 1963 Bengali-language comedy film based on the 1869 play of the same name by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar,[1] which is itself based on William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. The film was produced by Uttam Kumar and he played double roles. Others in the film are Bhanu Banerjee who also played dual roles, Sabitri Chatterjee and Sandhya Roy. The film was made under the banner of Uttam Kumar Films Pvt Ltd. The music of the film composed by Shyamal Mitra. The film was remade in Bollywood thrice as Do Dooni Char, Angoor[2] and Cirkus.[3][4]
The classic comedy was made based on Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar's popular novel with a similar name, which itself was inspired by the Shakespearian play 'Comedy Of Errors'. In this movie, Uttam Kumar and Bhanu Bandyopadhyay were cast as a merchant and his servant, respectively. They visit a new town but don't know about the existence of their respective twin brothers and it ultimately leads to a series of confusions leading to a laugh riot.[5]
