He is reluctant about marriage. However, his mother (Sudipa Basu) is constantly trying to get him married. After constant nagging from his mother, he unwillingly agrees to an arranged marriage. After meeting several brides, he becomes attracted to Mohor, an interior designer, which opens a new avenue in his life.

During the meetings, both Mohor and her father are impressed by his singing. Their marriage is fixed. However, in the midst of marriage preparations, things take a turn when Shakya receives a strange anonymous letter. The letter accuses Mohor of being promiscuous and of using dark magic. He shows the letter to Mohor and learns that it's from her ex-boyfriend, Chandromouli Hazra (Parambrata Chattopadhyay). Shakya, feeling desperate and worried, goes to Chandromouli to clear his doubts regarding his bride-to-be.

A series of events then occur that showcase the bromance between Shakya and Chandromouli, as well as the complexities surrounding marriage. The story follows how they work together to find a solution and resolve their problems.

Reception

Critical reception

Souvik Saha of Cine Kolkata rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Biye Bibhrat shines brightly with its stellar performances, visionary direction, and unforgettable moments. However, the film falls short in terms of consistent comedic timing and fully exploring character complexities. Despite its flaws, it remains a remarkable cinematic journey, leaving the audience with a desire for more of its magic." [10] Agnivo Niyogi from The Telegraph wrote " Biye Bibhrat delivers exactly what was promised in the trailer, a delightful romantic comedy. But despite its enjoyable elements, it is overly predictable; its characters and their problems are nothing new. This gap is somewhat filled by the film's soulful soundtrack." [8]

Devarti Ghosh of Ei Samay rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote " Raja Chand made the movie 'Biye Vivrat' in that formula. Sweet romantic comedy is the USP of this film, without any vendettaAll in all, you can go to the cinema with your family and watch 'Biye Vivrat' for a few hours while keeping the complexities of life away for a few hours, it won't hurt. " [11] Shatakshi Ganguly of IWM Buzz rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote " With Parambrata Chattopadhyay's visionary storytelling, the chemistry between Abir Chatterjee and Parambrata, an outstanding ensemble cast, and meticulous attention to detail in the settings of a Bengali household, the film delivers an unforgettable experience."
