Byomkesh bakshi 2016 series#

The transformation of Abir Chatterji to the aged Byomkesh Bakshi was brilliantly done and by far one of the best in a Bengali film. The sloppy storyline banked on shoddy clues ( at some point I felt I was watching some glorified version of CID and not Byomkesh Bakshi) did not work for me who has been an ardent Byomkesh Bakshi fan all along. In fact, whenever the name Byomkesh Bakshi surfaces, we can only expect a thriller, but this turned out to be mostly melodrama with negligible thrill. The storyline was terribly amateur and felt like a вЂfamous fiveвЂ™ adventure wherein people expected an Agatha Christie brilliance. The most important attribute of a fanfiction is to maintain the quality of the original story and I think this is where вЂBiday ByomkeshвЂ™ failed to convince the audience. As Uncle Ben says, вЂњWith great power comes great responsibilityвЂњ, it was definitely a mammoth responsibility of Arindam Sil to convince the fans. Not only they provide a room for the director to imagine but they also bestow the power to gift the fans with a proper and a well-deserved conclusion to a much-loved story. Fanfictions are always a bankable genre for a screenplay.

The movie was a fanfiction that wanted to touch upon the humane side of Bakshi and the script essentially depicted him as family guy and an aged hapless soul who desperately misses his dead wife and dear friend Ajit without whom he believes his shotter anweshanВ ( The search for the truth) is incomplete. When it comes to reviews, one should keep his / her emotions slightly aside because what matters is the quality and credibility of a fan fiction over emotions. It reconsolidated my idea that some things are better left untouched and I would still want to believe that in the end, our favourite detective vanished in thin air!

Exactly as I thought, this movie had a terrible impact for my love for the Bakshi series because I did not want to see an old, crippled and decrepit version of him, devoid of Satyabati and Ajit. Read onвЂ¦ДЄs a fan, I was reluctant to see this one because I believed that it would scar my love for Byomkesh Bakshi forever and also because I hate goodbyes. Our guest writer Anushka Das shares her opinion about the film. вЂBiday ByomkeshвЂ™, the latest flick about the celebrated sleuth is not based on an original story by Saradindu Bandhopadhay.

There have been many films made on the detective who likes to call himself вЂSatyanweshiвЂ™ вЂ“ the seeker of truth. For the quintessential Bengali Bhadralok, loosely translated to Gentleman, Byomkesh represents a suave, razor-sharp persona which the gentleman truly desires. Byomkesh Bakshi is considered as the Indian equivalent of Sherlock Holmes.
