Hatyapuri

Better recovery from the last few medicore Feluda movies. Indraneil sengupta looks fresh and earnest in his performance. However the actor who played Topshe was horrible. Jatayu was fine enough. Rest of the performances was average to okay. The screenplay of the film gets uneven at times and there are moments which doesn't hold interest. The best part of the film though is the climax where the suspense unveils and the classic Feluda tune...not to forget...........The film had very low buzz coming to it's release which is very unexpected............. Overall it's watchable... Won't mind seeing Indraneil for couple of more Feludas !!

Ordinary movie with a good story is the conclusion from my side.

As story, Hatyapuri is a good story with very helpful drawings for the potential film director. Many of us were having a long waiting for this film. Finally, it got released with a sense of disappointment.

Important scenes are not technically well made. As example, final scene of the fight was very ordinary. Camera work (learnt Sandip Roy was behind the camera) was again ordinary. Location Puri never really came to life. In entire movie, there is not a single good long shot. Refer back, Sonar Kella's Camel train chase scene to understand the potential we lost in Puri beach.

Dialogues are dull. Many actor choices are out of place. As example, Dhritiman would be better choice compared to Paran.

No chemistry between feluda, topshe and jatayu. Very poor acting and execution. The worst editing ever. Shame on the makers for destroying the legacy of our feluda. Honestly the worst feluda ever. There is a constant rat race between the directors to make the worst feluda movie ever. They are trying their best to ruining the legacy of our childhood hero feluda.

Casting is another point I would like to talk about. Not a single character was portrayed correctly. There is no smartness in feluda, topshe looked like an idiot and our favorite lalmohan babu's character was full of overacting. And lastly an extremely underwhelming climax. If you do not want to destroy the nostalgic memory of feluda do not ever watch this movie. Shameful that the makers is ruiningthe legacy of feluda. Extremely dissatisfied and dissapointed.

If the makers are watching this review then inwill request them to make movie which will be liked in theatre not a ott based movie. If you are planning to make hit movies.

Feluda needed to be replaced he is no where close to soumitra chattopadhyay and sabyasachi chakraborty.

Rest were also not as good as the previous actors .story was predictable and movie was too boring. Background music was taken from Friday th 13th .only thing I liked about the movie was that it was typical Bengali movie dark and no lame jokes what you get in current movies .

Location was good but was ver limited they could have shown more location.

Let's be honest here - Srijit Mukherji has clearly bagged better leads. However, "Darjeeling Jomjomat" fell flat on its face and left me both annoyed and crestfallen. "Hatyapuri" is clearly what Ray's Feluverse is supposed to look like, but it's still missing the essence of 'my' Feluda.

Indraneil Sengupta, though promising and fresh, doesn't really embody Prodosh C Mitter. His portrayal is somewhat paradoxical - he looks the part but doesn't act it. Ayush Das' Topshe doesn't work for me. Abhijeet Guha's attempt at Jatayu needs more heart and more humour.

Paran Bandopadhyay and Subhashish Mukhopadhyay prove their mettle yet again.

The whodunit works well, but the narrative doesn't really engage the viewers' attention until the final act. The telling lacks pace and urgency, quite unlike most Sandip Ray films.

Even with three parallel Feluverses currently out there, Feluda's future seems to be on shaky ground unless Sandip Ray redeems himself with his next film.
