Detective Byomkesh Bakshy Story

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy movie is based on the early exploits of India’s first true-blue detective, created by Bengali bestseller writer Saradindu Bandyopadhyay. Characters Byomkesh Bakshy: Sushant Singh Rajput Rude. Arrogant. Charming. Genius. Byomkesh Bakshy is a man everyone loves to hate. A habitual non-conformist, Byomkesh is forever trying to make sense of the world around him. He cares for nothing else but truth; once found and he loses interest. It is the pursuit, the hunt which interests him. Byomkesh has almost photographic memory, and does not let go of a mystery until he has solved it for himself. Currently obsessed with his first case - the disappearance of a genius chemist. He is short of two things in life - friends & love. While working on the case, Byomkesh becomes friends with Ajit Bannerjee, and their friendship grows to be legendary. The other lacunae in his life, love, is fulfilled by Satyawati, a woman who is an equal match to him in intelligence, character & strength. Ajit Banerjee : Anand Tiwari Pursuing MA in Bangla Literature from Vidyasadan College. An aspiring writer, and a body-builder by hobby. Son of the genius chemist Bhuban Banerjee, who has suddenly gone missing. Satyawati: Divya Menon The sister of Sukumar and niece to Gajanan Sikdar. The only one in the house who can stop uncle & nephew from jumping at each other's throats. She is young, quiet, demure - yet one can clearly see her sharp intelligence and strong will. Anguri Devi: Swastika Mukherjee Heartthrob of Bengal. Her films fan riots on the opening weekend. When she sheds on tear on screen, rivers flow on the street. When she dies, her fans slit their wrists. When she sings, hearts break. Her face launches everything from beauty soaps to diamond jewellery. Her politically connected lover Gajanan Sikdar backs her with influence and money. Yet why do they say that she does tragic roles best? Story in detail: Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the film is set in the Second World War torn Calcutta during the 1940s and follows the first adventure of Byomkesh Bakshy, fresh out of college, as he pits himself against an evil genius who is out to destroy the world. Using his wits against the most villainous arch criminal the world has seen, in a world of murder, international political intrigue and seduction, Byomkesh depends more on his intuition and instinct rather than concrete proof, to solve the case, sometimes overstepping the law if needed.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy Critics Review

filmibeat.com
Sushant Singh Rajput as expected has given a stellar performance, not just him, all the actors from Anand Tiwari, Divya Menon, Swatika Mukherjee to the villain whose identity will not be revealed, have done justice to their roles thereby making the movie all the more enjoyable. If you love the 1940's and if you are a fan of fiction, then Detective Byomkesh Bakshy is the movie for you. It may be a little slow and lengthy but in the end it is a paisa vasool entertainer and a pure cinematic brilliance.

Sushant shows just why he was fit for the job. He gets the body language right and brings the right amount of boyish edge this amateur detective needs. The actor adequately brings out every shade of his character. He never sweeps you off your feet, he doesn’t even mean to, it takes you a while to like him but he earns your trust and you are by his side throughout. There are two kinds of audiences for this film --- those who know Byomkesh and those who don’t. Dibakar has a revelation for both. That’s one case neatly solved.

As soon as you settle in and the movie begins, you are pulled into a unique, beguiling sepia toned, rose tinted world, a world that we look back with admiration and intrigue, a world of simple people with simpler lives. Director Dibakar Banerjee with his admirable eye for detailing, charmingly transports us to Calcutta of late 30s, right in the middle of the uncertainty and chaos created by World War II. The first half keeps you excited but the second half is tad disappointing as it dips in pace and energy. Don't miss it. Even if just to go back to the magical world of nostalgia created so beautifully and earnestly by Banerjee and cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis.

Director Dibaker Bannerjee who has raised social issues in his earlier movies like Khosla Ka Ghosla, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Shanghai, this time goes the dramatized way and brings the novelty in the mysterious genre. Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is the perfect answer to the much praised Hollywood’s Sherlock Holmes. It makes you feel proud of your very own Indian detective. Don’t miss it!

It's very shocking to see a film like DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY! suffer a low stature and that too coming from a man who gave us stellar films like SHANGHAI, LSD: LOVE, SEX AUR DHOKHA, OYE LUCKY! LUCKY OYE, and KHOSLA KA GHOSLA. While the film has a slow first half, its second half is endlessly dragged to the core. There are many factors which may make the film struggle at the Box Office. A few of them include unwanted violence, a plot that went haywire and also too much of thriller elements. Generally, any kind of murder mystery comes with a sinister motive, which gets revealed towards the end. But, in the case of DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY!, the film gets dragged on endlessly, even after the culprit has been identified! On the whole, DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY! can be skipped, without any regrets.
