I did not have too much expectation from Detective Byomkesh Bakshi movie. But I really didn't think it will be so bad!! Mr. Dibakar Banerjee owes us a public apology for ruining such a great literature character - Byomkesh Bakshi. Horrible script, more forced twists than the worst cheap thriller. Utterly failed attempt to make a hifi international level detective, gangster, world war (and god knows what else) movie. Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's spirit will be banging his head in heaven seeing this. I am utterly disappointed.
I request my friends to not see the movie at all, and even if u do, then don't see it as a Byomkesh Bakshi film. You better watch it as an independent thriller, then there might be a remote chance of liking it the tiniest little bit.
After watching Satyajit Ray’s Chiriyakhana, Basu Chatterjee’s Byomkesh Bakshi TV series, Anjan Dutta’s Byomkesh Trilogy, and other numerous Byomkesh adaptations for TV as well as big screen, level of expectations from any Byomkesh Bakshi movie, in the mind of a Bengali, is enormous. Dibakar Banerjee simply failed to live up to it.
