Bhranti Bilas (transl. Illusion of illusion) 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 remade in Bollywood thrice as Do Dooni Char , Angoor and Cirkus.[2][3]
Plot[edit | edit source]
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.
