Biyer Phool (transl. Wedding Flowers) is a 1996 Indian Bengali-language romantic family drama film, directed and co-written by Ram Mukherjee. It stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Indrani Haldar and Rani Mukerji in her debut.[3]

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.[4][5]

Though the plot of the movie is loosely based on the Telugu blockbuster of the same year, Pelli Sandadi, it was heavily modified to suit the Bengali audience. It achieved a cult status as one of the evergreen Bengali family blockbusters. The movie marked a milestone in the career of all three lead actors, with Rani Mukerji going on to become one of the leading Bollywood actresses of her times.
