Bibar (Bengali: বিবর pronounced [ˈbibar]) is a 2006 Bengali (Indian) film directed by Subrata Sen starring Subrata Datta, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Payel Sarkar, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Kunal Mitra, Shiladitya Patranabis, Pradip Mukherjee, Anuradha Ray, Kanchan Mullick, Rajesh Sharma, Dulal Lahiri, Biswajit Chakraborty, Oindrilla Khan, and Rita Bhimani. Based on Samaresh Basu's 1965 controversial novel Calcutta, Unabashed, Bibar deals with the angst of city youth in Calcutta, who are caught between the lures of a new, liberalized society and fast-fading traditional values.

Biresh (Subrata Dutta), an investigating officer in a finance company, is at heart a bohemian with no rigid values in life. In love, he is caught in a psycho-sexual relationship with high-society call girl Nita (Tannishtha Chatterjee).

In his office, his position becomes bleak as he refuses a loan to an influential person. He starts drinking heavily and starts visiting Sonagachi, the infamous red-light area of Calcutta with his painter friend Hiren (Shiladitya Patranobish). He gets attracted towards a model, Iti (Payel Sarkar). Biresh, in a bout of self-destruction, vents his anger and frustration by strangling Nita and stages his alibi through Iti. The police start investigating but are unable to establish any motive behind the killing.
