In 1965, "An Inspector Calls" was adapted into a Bengali film entitled "Thana Theke Aschhi", based on a Bengali version of the original play. The character of Inspector Goole was played by the Bengali matinee idol Uttam Kumar, the character being renamed "Sub-Inspector Tinkari Halder". The film went on to be a huge commercial hit at and is generally regarded as one of the era's best Bengali films. This film, along with the same literary material, was remade in 2010 in to a film of the same name having a ensemble cast of Shrabonti Malakar, Alakananda Ray, Rudranil Ghosh, Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Dulal Lahiri with Sabyasachi Chakraborty as the investigating officer and Paoli Dam as the deceased girl. A 2004 Hindi film based on the same play, "Sau Jhooth Ek Sach" ("One hundred lies, one truth") starred Mammootty as the Inspector and was also a critical success (a 2010 remake was however panned).
