i have "sahib biwi aur gulam" it is based on a bengali novel. devdas was based on a bengali novel. both these were excellent. and if i am not wrong "pyasa" was also based on a bengali novel. bengali literature is one of the greatest. we as indians are proud of it.

Pather Panchali (Bibhutibhushan Bannerjee's novel of the same name)
Jalsaghar (Tarashankar Bandopadhyay's novel of the same name)
Charulata (Rabindranath Tagore's "Nastanirh")
Aranyer Din Ratri (Sunil Gangopadhyay's novel of the same name)
Jana Aranya (Mani Shankar Mukherjee's novel of the same name)
Ghaire-Baire (Rabindranath Tagore's novel of the same name)

This film is based on "The Gift Of Magi" by O. Henry, not a Bengali novel afaik.
