This is the house of Shrimanta, an artist. Jayanta tells the artist that he had been driving until his car broke down. He entered a house on [Diamond Harbour](/source/Diamond_Harbour) Road, [Kolkata](/source/Kolkata) where he faced a horrible creature that tried to kill him. Together, the two men go to the police station. The police inspector informs them that they are aware of the mystery. Afterwards, a man buys the house and lives there with his nieces, Lalita and Namita. Jayanta knows the family personally as he had a relationship with Lalita when they were in [Burma](/source/Burma). He started an investigation and went to the House broker agency 'Bag and Nag' to know the history of the house. He decided to stay there for the security of the family and to solve the mystery. Surprisingly, a beggar moves around the house every day. One night Jayanta, Shrimanta and the police find the ghostly creature and fire at it to no avail. The matter becomes more complicated when a piece of paper is discovered by Lalita's uncle that appears to be a clue to a hidden treasure. Jayanta suspects that Shrimanta is related to the matter. In the meantime, someone tries to kill Lalita's uncle and the police arrest Jayanta. Finally, it is revealed that all murder and ghostly atmosphere created by the real culprit for the treasure.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gomolo.com/hanabari-movie-synopsis-plot-story/13383|title=Hanabari (1952)|website=gomolo.com|access-date=22 March 2017|archive-date=23 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170323055318/http://www.gomolo.com/hanabari-movie-synopsis-plot-story/13383|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|url=https://indiancine.ma/GMQ/info|title=Hanabari (1952)|website=Indiancine.ma|access-date=2017-03-25}} == Cast == * Bipin Mukherjee as Srimanta Sarkar * [Gautam Mukherjee](/source/Gautam_Mukherjee) as Jayanta Chowdhury * Pranati Ghosh as Lolita * Mita Chatterjee as Namita * [Dhiraj Bhattacharya](/source/Dhiraj_Bhattacharya) as Detective alias beggar * [Shyam Laha](/source/Shyam_Laha) as Mr. Bag * [Nabadwip Haldar](/source/Nabadwip_Haldar) as Mr Nag == References == {{Reflist}} ==External links== * {{IMDb title|0243296}} {{Premendra Mitra}} Category:1952 films Category:Bengali-language Indian films Category:Indian detective films Category:Indian crime thriller films Category:1950s crime thriller films Category:Films directed by Premendra Mitra Category:Films based on Indian novels Category:1952 Bengali-language films Category:Indian black-and-white films {{1950s-Bengali-film-stub}} {{1950s-crime-thriller-film-stub}} Category:Bengali-language horror drama films Category:Bengali-language horror thriller films Category:Bengali-language supernatural horror films Category:Bengali-language supernatural thriller films Category:Bengali-language crime thriller films Category:Films based on works by Premendra Mitra --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Hanabari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanabari) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanabari?action=history)).
