Kirtaner Por Kirtan OTT: Paran Banerjee’s Bengali Family Comedy Sequel — Platform and Streaming Date

Kirtaner Por Kirtan, the Bengali family comedy sequel directed by Abhimanyu Mukherjee, released in theatres on January 23, 2026, and is now heading to OTT this week. The film stars Paran Banerjee, Gourab Chatterjee, and Aparajita Ghosh Das, and continues the story of the bickering father-in-law and daughter-in-law that made the original Kirtan (2023) a beloved Bengali family hit. The digital premiere of Kirtaner Por Kirtan brings the sequel to audiences who missed it during its theatrical run.

When and Where to Watch Kirtaner Por Kirtan Online?

Kirtaner Por Kirtan is streaming on Fridaay, the Bengali OTT platform, with the film listed among this week’s new digital arrivals. Fridaay is accessible via its app and website, and primarily serves Bengali-language film and entertainment content. No announcement has been made for the film’s availability on broader national platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, or JioHotstar at this time. For viewers outside West Bengal looking to watch, Fridaay remains the confirmed destination.

What Is Kirtaner Por Kirtan About?

Kirtaner Por Kirtan picks up directly from where Kirtan (2023) ended. Having sold their ancestral home, Abinash (Paran Banerjee) — the father-in-law — moves into a flat with his son Arup (Gourab Chatterjee) and daughter-in-law Monimala (Aparajita Ghosh Das). The expectation was that a new home would mean a fresh start. It does not. Abinash and Monimala’s quarrel resumes in the new setting with full force, now transplanted from the intimacy of a family home to the more public arena of a housing society.

The central comic engine of the sequel is a society election — Abinash and Monimala contest against each other for the post, turning what should be a mundane residential matter into an all-out family war. The film eventually pushes them toward another domestic crossroads, with the flat proving no more a solution to their fundamental incompatibility than the ancestral home was.

Who Stars in Kirtaner Por Kirtan?

Paran Banerjee reprises the role of Abinash, the stubborn, traditional father-in-law whose resistance to change drives the film’s comedy. Banerjee is one of Bengali cinema’s most respected character actors, and his portrayal of Abinash across both films has become the emotional anchor of the franchise. Gourab Chatterjee returns as Arup, the son caught perpetually between his father and his wife, and Aparajita Ghosh Das plays Monimala, whose sharp wit and refusal to back down make her Abinash’s perfect comic foil. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya appears in a supporting role, adding further veteran presence to the ensemble.

How Does Kirtaner Por Kirtan Compare to the Original Kirtan?

The original Kirtan (2023), also directed by Abhimanyu Mukherjee, earned a 7.6 rating on IMDb and found a strong audience on Disney+ JioHotstar after its theatrical run. The film’s premise — a father-in-law and daughter-in-law at war over whether to sell the ancestral home — resonated deeply with Bengali family audiences for its authenticity and humour rooted in recognisable domestic tension. Kirtaner Por Kirtan currently holds a 6.3 on IMDb — a drop of 1.3 points from the original, which is consistent with the pattern most beloved Bengali family comedies follow when extended into sequels. The core appeal remains intact, but the novelty of the premise is naturally reduced. For audiences who loved Kirtan, the sequel offers more of the same warmth — which, depending on your appetite for the characters, is either exactly what you want or a reason to temper expectations slightly.
