Best Bangla movie (2000-2017)
by rafi-dawings | created - 10 Dec 2012 | updated - 03 Aug 2018 | PublicBangla movies have an extremely rich history.Most of us are very much aware of Bangla movies but the culture also falls prey to many stereotypes. A lot of people I have come across trend to think that Bengali classic movies mostly consists of Satyajit Ray,Zahir raihan and Mrinal sen films.
But post Satyajit era showed some very promising and talented directors with beautiful stories and epic casts from both side of bangla be it you said West Bengal or Bangladesh.
This list is consist of those great movies from early 2000 to 2017.
P.S: Some early movie can't add in this list as they are not find in IMDB archive.
