To tell the truth, i was a bit skeptical regarding this version of Feluda. Like many other 'Bangalis' I was disheartened time and again by the 'feluda attempts' done by the directors other than the great Ray. But Srijit shocked me this time. If someone had asked me how will you like to see your favorite most hero on silver screen, then that would be exactly like Srijit's one.
'am no film director. But since childhood i had my fare share of fantasies regarding this trio ( sometimes duo), how they will look, how they will walk, how they will talk etc. Satyajit Ray's illustrations guided me in this fantasy imagination. And boy! Srijit somehow has made this impossible quite possible. Some of the frames are straight from the book illustrations.
Acting was good. Script good. Camera good. All the other things are good. But in case of background score, there is still chance of improvement. Sometimes it felt unnecessarily loud on ears.
Last and the most important thing, is the approch to the great Jatayu. Well, someone are finding Mr Anirban is not up to the expectations. But for me this is Srijit's masterstroke. He rebuilt the jatayu for us. He consciously avoided to make jatayu act like his predecessors. He consciously avoided to make his jatayu to be compared with Mr. Santosh Dutta's legacy. And that, made the film so fun to watch.
Thank you Srijit. Thank you.
