Biyer Phool is a 1996 Indian Bengali romantic comedy film, directed by Ram Mukherjee, starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Rani Mukerji, Indrani Haldar and Sabyasachi Chakraborty in the lead roles. It marks the debut of Rani Mukerji, daughter of director, who went to become a leading Bollywood actress.
It was shot in Gangtok and coordinated with the filming of Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, another home production and Rani's Hindi film debut, which was simultaneously shooting in the area.
Lili (Indrani Haldar) and Mili (Rani Mukerji) Chatterjee are sisters who are as different as night and day. Lili is mature and reserved and has spent her life taking care of her little sister Mili. She runs the family business with the help of her friend and general manager Ashit Mukherjee (Sabyasachi Chakrabarty). Mili is a carefree teenager. Their grandmother, whom they lovingly call Thama, dreams of Lili’s marriage. She has no interest in marriage and asks Thama to concentrate on getting Mili married.
Meanwhile Mili falls in love with Athanu Mukherjee (Prosenjit Chatterjee), a famous music teacher from a local college who is seven years older than her. After briefly courting him, Athanu falls in love with Mili, too. One day Ashit sees the couple together, and Mili explains that she and Athanu are in love. Ashit promises to talk to Lili about Mili’s marriage to Athanu once he returns from a trip to see his parents and go on a pilgrimage. Before he leaves, he convinces Lili to hire Athanu as Mili’s music teacher. While with his parents, Ashit admits that he loves Lili and intends to discuss their marriage once he returns.
Lili is enamored with Athanu and his music since the moment she meets him. She is even more impressed when Athanu sings a song she wrote on television. When While Mili is on a tour with her school, Thama finds out that Lili has softened to the thought of marriage. She calls Lili’s uncle to town and asks him to arrange Lili and Athanu’s marriage. Athanu’s mother, not knowing that her son is in love with Mili, agrees to a marriage between Athanu and Lili.
