Kuler Achar- Movie Plot
Mithi (Madhumita Sarcar) and Pritam (Vikram Chatterjee) have newly tied the knot. It was a love marriage. Both are modernistic individuals and respect each other’s views. The story initially portrays understanding and romance between the duo. But things take an unpredictable turn when the couple faces an awkward situation. It was on their honeymoon trip.
The police officials intervene in their private time and suspect them as unmarried. The in-charge fails to trust them as their surnames do not match. This occurrence leads to the rest of the movie’s plot. It created a rift between Mithi’s in-laws, Pranatosh (Neel Mukherjee) and Mitali (Indrani Haldar).
Kuler Achaar – The Depicted Issue
Kuler Achaar -Flaws in Movie Plot
The first flaw was the sudden shift of focus from the newly wedded Mithi to her mother-in-law. The audience may get confused to decide who the central character is. The second flaw was the abrupt ending of the character of Mitali. When everything ends, his husband realizes the importance of Mitali’s fight. Flaw three is the character of Mithi’s mother. Her mom in place of supporting her daughter, went against her when her demands were not illogical.
Kuler Achaar – The Performances Of Artists
Now, coming to the acting part or character presentation. We can say that Madhumita played brilliantly as Mithi. The romantic scenes and even the fights between Mithi and Pritam looked realistic. They represented the true essence of a bong couple.
Indrani Halder is one of the finest actresses in Bengali Cinema. She proved her talent once again as Mitali. But the director failed to do justice to the character. The bond between the Mithi and Mitali was sweet and funny too. It made us realize that a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship can be strong too.
Kuler Achaar – The Final Verdict
Keeping in mind the relatable subject and the plot’s attempt to put everything together, IndiaCafe24 gives Kuler Achaar 3.75 stars.

I have retained my father’s surname. There is no feminism attached to this but only love and acceptance of being who I am. I was Ranjeeta Nath till me and my husband I fell in love. Then suddenly, overnight after marriage, they wanted to change my name as if dropping my father’s name wasn’t enough. This was too much for me. I protested naturally and threatened to call off the marriage. It was not about changing names it was the whole concept of deleting my identity. And the worst part is that this was my MIL’s decision. A woman wiping out another woman’s identity. Then I put my foot down that neither I am changing my name nor I’m dropping my father’s surname. I will adopt my husband’s last name, but then my Name should be my own, and my father’s surname would be my middle name. A man who has lived his whole life for me cannot be deleted from my life just due to some stupid customs of deleting the bride’s identity to make her submit. If my father is my past, then my husband is my present and future. and all have to be in harmony together for me to be happy
Awesome Ranjeeta I appreciate your boldness and love for parents. I too have the ditto same reason for retaining my father’s surname. It was surprising that even educated people consider adopting husband’s surname after marraige indicates you are part of husbands family. Such sick mentality. What I am today is all because of my parents and so no way to change it.
I think it is totally a personal choice of woman. if she wants to keep her maternal surname, then she should keep it. if she does not want, then it is ok too. the main thing is society or other people should not judge her or should not make any nasty comments on based her decision. live her own life in your own way and let others live their life too.
Yes, absolutely its her choice and no one can force her decision. Agreed
I believe that it’s her choice to decide what she wants. Changing the surname not only involves paper work but an emotional capacity as well for few. So, i believe in giving her time and freedom to decide what she wants.
I too haven’t changed my maiden name and my hubby have no issues with it. And it’s not because I don’t want to but because of the paper works and tediousness it is to just change your surname. My hubby shares the same sentiments so it doesn’t bother him at all.
This sounds amazing, will definitely binge watch this
The depicted issue of surname change is quite different to be the core of a movie
I think it should be the women choice to take her husbands surname or not
An amazing directed movie for sharing tipical fact and true message among all. A must visit movie.It shows how women are still tied down to society’s patriarchal values and then tries to fight it out. But, there’s confusion regarding her choice.
wow. the plot seems very intriguing and sends a true message to society. I wish to see this movie.Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely not. Nobody needs to change their surname. Infact people should proudly carry their maternal name. I don’t understand Bengali language but can summarise the story and would like to watch maybe with subtitle.
Society has a tendency to judge people, especially women, for the decisions they make. However, it’s important to remember that everyone has a right to live their life the way they want to. No one else should be making comments on her personal choices. Everyone deserves to be respected and have their own privacy. In my opinion, it’s the woman’s choice and no one else’s business.
The movie plot seems very strong and engaging. I will definitely suggest my Bengali friends to watch this out.
I changed my surname as soon as I got married. I was waiting to change it. But it was a time when I was not aware of several facts. But i have asked my daughter not to
Speaking for myself, i didn’t change my surname because I have created my identity for 24 odd years and i don’t see the logic of changing it because you decided to marry into a different family. I haven’t changed it officially or socially.
Loved the spirit in you
