About this film

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 , which is itself based on William Shakespeare 's The Comedy of Errors . The film was remade in Bollywood thrice as Do Dooni Char , Angoor and Cirkus . Although the original play was set in an unspecified, but distant past, the film relocates the story to modern day India. The film tells the story of a Bengali merchant from Kolkata and his servant who visit a small town for a business appointment, but, whilst there, are mistaken for a pair of locals, leading to much confusion.
