My mama and I have a tradition of watching Bangla films whenever I visit Kolkata, and this time he took me for Kaberi Antardhan, which I really liked (and which helped get over Pathaan FOMO).

It's a very Bengali movie ofc - everyone is LW and cheating on their spouses.

Kali Puja in Calcutta, October 1841, British oil painting

This quite matches to what the robbers of Valmiki Pratibha say,

“আজ রাতে ধুম হবে ভারি,

জ্বেলে দে মশালগুলো,
মনের মতন পুজো দেব,
নেচে নেচে ঘুরে ঘুরে!”
