Bengal has the tag of being the "Cultural Capital of India". It has a legacy of producing superb literature. Bengal has also been the birthplace of legendary film makers like Satyajit Ray and Rithvik Ghatak. Needless to say, Bengal has inspired many Bollywood film makers too.
There are times when a Bengali movie goes much beyong its times with its plot and its excecution. These movies are often remade so that it can reach to a larger audience. Back from 1936, when the Bengali movioe Dena Paona (that originally released in 1931) was remade into 'Pujarin', Bollywood has seeked inspiration from the movies produced in the state! The most recent to join the list is Begum Jaan, which is the remake of Raajkahini that released in 2015.
