What happens

Bhranti Bilash (transl. Comedy of Errors) is a 1963 Indian Bengali-language action comedy film directed by Manu Sen. Produced by Uttam Kumar under his banner of Uttam Kumar Films, the film is based on the 1869 play of the same name by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, which is itself is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. It stars Kumar himself and Bhanu Bandopadhyay, both in dual roles, alongside Sabitri Chatterjee, Sandhya Roy, Chhaya Devi and Sabita Bose in another pivotal roles. The music of the film was composed by Shyamal Mitra. The film was remade in Bollywood thrice as Do Dooni Char, Angoor and Cirkus. 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
