Hatyapuri

I did not feel like I am watching Feluda. The scenes were not getting its liveness. Puri didn't get its life in the movie. Acting of Jatayu, Topse was not at all happening. I was missing Jatayu from beginning to end. Feluda acting was maybe okay but it was missing the loving connection with Topse and Jatayu in the movie. There were not enough loving chat between Topse, Feluda, Jatayu. Paran Da was okay. Overall I was not finding my Feluda here, if one good thing is to say about this movie is its better to watch over recently released Shabash Feluda by Arindam Sil. I will recommend to watch for timepass thats it.

Hatyapuri is a well made film on a shoestring budget . It's a typical Sandip Ray Feluda film with new star casts. Indraneil Sengupta has done a good job. Topshe is total miscast . Abhijit Guha as Jatayu is decent . Seasoned actors like Subhashis Mukherjee,Supriya Dutta,Bharat Kaul, Shaheb Chatterjee are brilliant in their respective roles .The show stealer is once again veteran actor Paran Bandhopadhyay. His facial expressions ,body language , accent are just wow . Cinematography is decent ,editing is Good . Screenplay could have been better .The first half is slow , second half is pacy and engaging . The climax sequence is awesome. Overall an enjoyable affair.

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.

What a great story created by the none other than Sattayajit Ray!

However again list the potential even at this age with such good support and equipments by Sandip Ray! He really needs to put effort on making things right and not predictable. The story in the book and movie has two different flavors which he keeps on losing. More than that the biggest issue comes into the story telling and way of driving the viewers mind! It's painfully slow and terribly predictable that we only watch for the love of the series created by the books only

Sad to say and its a reality of this is the benchmark, then the new generation online will divert to order directives and will never know how good the great Feluda was.
