Source-derived summary

Jekhane Bhooter Bhoy (English: Where there is a fear of ghosts) is a 2012 Indian Bengali-language anthology horror film directed by Sandip Ray. There are three short ghost stories in this film.

Plot

The film starts with Tarinikhuro or Tarinicharan Banerjee, one of Satyajit Ray's characters, telling some boys from his fanclub about ghosts. In the first and second stories the ghosts he talks about were Satyajit Ray's Anath Babur Bhoy and Brown Saheber Bari. The last one was Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s Bhoot Bhobishyot. (Initially four stories were supposed to be filmed, but the fourth one, Lucknow-er Duel was dropped later to avoid the length).

Anath Babur Bhoy

Anath Babur Bhoy (Anath Babu's Terror) revolves around the story of Anathbandhu Mitra, who is a ghost hunter. He, along with his friend, Sitesh Babu, narrate their experience regarding a dilapidated haunted house, Haldar Mansion, "Haldar Bari".

Brown Saheber Bari

Brown Saheber Bari (Mr. Brown's Cottage) is about "Simon", a mysterious entity whom the owner of the cottage, a British gentleman loved dearly.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Jekhane Bhooter Bhoy” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jekhane, Bhooter and Bhoy provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16249679. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
