The Guhas of Ballygunge place are drastically different from the Gangulys of Nilmoni Mitra Lane. Amidst the amusing clash of age-old traditions and new-age ways, a young couple inspects their relationship just before their marriage.
They say a marriage is also the marriage of "two families". But in this show, that ends up happening in more ways than one.
The Guhas who live at Ballygunge place are drastically different from the Gangulys who live in their old Nilmoni Mitra Lane house as a joint family. The Guhas are the "artsy" Bengali family and almost everyone in the family can sing rabindra sangeet or dance kathak, and attend plays at Tolly club over wine and cheese. The Gangulys on the other hand are an old North Calcutta "Bonedi" family that still prides themselves on their collection of antique furniture and their connection to the royal family of Cooch Behar. They are a "joint family" of illustrious lawyers, doctors and engineers and have an air of faux intellectual superiority about them. The two families are as different as different can be- but they end up in the same place and in the same biyebari because two of their younger members want to translate their intense college romance into marriage.
The Gangulys and Guhas therefore end up in the same biyebari thanks to their "kids"- only to realize how much they detest each other. The narrative will follow the entire process of marriage right from Paka Dekha and Aiburo bhaat to the reception to how these families finally reconcile amidst escalating tension, hilarious troubles, rib-tickling secrets, accidental romantic reunions, and young (and sometimes old) love.
We can experience a 'Big Fat Bengali Wedding' in this web series of 7 episodes directed by Samadarshi Dutta.
