Jamai 420 (Bengali: জামাই ৪২০; English: Son-in-law 420) is a Bengali language comedy-drama film written and directed by Rabi Kinnagi, who was assisted by Pathikrit Basu. The film stars an ensemble cast, consisting of Soham Chakraborty, Hiran Chatterjee, Ankush Hazra, Payel Sarkar, Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan in lead roles while Kharaj Mukherjee, Biswanath Basu, Shantilal Mukherjee and Manasi Sinha appear in other pivotal roles. The film was produced jointly by Shrikant Mohta, Mahendra Soni and Nispal Singh under Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films respectively.[1]

The film is a comedy of errors, in which three guys (Soham Chakraborty, Ankush Hazra and Hiran Chatterjee) land in Bangkok amidst a lot of confusion over their marriage with three girls (Mimi Chakraborty, Nusrat Jahan and Payel Sarkar). They are forced to do insane things in order to woo their lady loves, which leads to many humorous situations.

Rabi Kinagi clarified it will be a commercial romantic comedy film which would bring together Ankush Hazra, Payel, Soham Chakraborty, Hiran, Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan[3] on the silver screen for the first time.[4] Raj Chakraborty made a special appearance and joined the cast in Bangkok on 16 April, for shooting.[5]

The film's first poster starring the lead characters as well as the first song was uploaded on 3 May 2015.

Upam Buzarbaruah of The Times of India reviewed "Now that we are done with the pleasantries, let's start a little dissection. First, acting. All the actors in the film have managed to take hamming to the next level. Kharaj Mukherjee, Shantilal Chakraborty, Supriyo Dutta, Biswajit Chakraborty and Shankar Chakraborty are right up there, at the top. The only non-hammers were the girls in the cast and Hiran, as Ankush, Soham leave no stone unturned to act as loud as possible. But I guess that's maybe because the director wouldn't settle for less. But the result was a hamfest, with each actor trying to out-overact the others. Music. Well, can't say it's bad; just run-of-the-mill commercial stuff that makes you shake a leg for a week or so before fading into oblivion."[6][7]
