The Eken

We the Bengalis grew up watching/reading feluda or bomkesh; for us it's really hard to accept another detective. But Eken babu is different. After all this time I really loved watching a Bengali thriller.

It has the perfect blend of comedy, mystery. Acting is more of less good( a bit of over acting here and there but that's tolerable). And eken babu is just perfect, his comic timing, expressions everything left me laughing my heart out Just go to the theatre and have a nice time.

Excellent show to watch great story line It is amazing experience to watch the show .I will recommend it to everyone here who are trying to watch a good show it is great.

Eken Babu (Anirban Chakraborti), the famous detective goes to Darjeeling for a vacation with his side-kicks Promotho & Bapi but gets embroiled in a mystery concerning the disappearance of an antique stone Bishnu Idol & a precious stamp. He also reluctantly accepts a second case which involves the murder of an employee of a well known hotel in Darjeeling. Are all these cases connected ? Will Eken Babu be able to connect all the dots and solve the mystery ?

This film has a perfect blend of comedy & mystery that keeps the viewers engaged throughout. A clean film without sex, blood and gore. A treat for the entire family.

The misty locales in Darjeeling have been beautifully captured and the film gives us a virtual tour of the hill station.

Anirban Chakraborti is brilliant as the protagonist and carries the film on his fragile shoulders all throughout . Subtle humor inserted between serious scenes is not over the top and the banter between Eken, Promotho and Bapi is fun to watch. Payel Sarkar as actress Bipasha has a small role but does well. Casting is perfect overall.

Ladies & Gentlemen ....after Byomkesh & Feluda, make way for Eken Babu , the small, unassuming detective with a brilliant mind, capable of solving the most difficult cases with a smile on his face. He's here to stay for sure!! Eagerly waiting for the next installment of the franchise!!

Enjoyable film .. go for it 👍 My Rating 3.5/5 .... Adios 🙂

Overall, very good and amazing movie. The storyline of this movie is just amazing acting is just superb, but the story could be more interesting. However, the acting was fantastic.

The seasons are far better! Should have changed the assistant characters, Bappi and Promotho were complete flop and useless. No character development, use of too much unnecessary characters, not focusing on any single or prospective suspect(s), which usually gives the audience the perspective that x is the killer and in final scene you see no it was always y, hiding in the shadows and pulling the strings, for e.g the Burman case of Eken.

In short a futile attempt, jeopardising the reputation of such a great series.

Ps..bring back the old Bappi and Promotho!
