Shabash Feluda

For Sabash Feluda, nothing is there to say 'Sabash', its a rape of classic Ray story, Parambrata tried his best, but his look doesnt go with this iconic character. If one compares with Soumitra Chatterjee, Sabayasachi Chakraborty or even the newest Tota Roychowdhury, he will be frustrated. Same applies for Indraneil Sengupta , even although presented by the Maestro's son. The Director and or scriptwriter tried to present Feluda as an avatar of Bond, failed drastically. Rudranil tried to overact but failed to deliver humor, as it seems for comic relief this character has been introduced. The the scriptwriters (Padmanabha Dasgupta and Arindam Sil) tried to cook rashmi Kabab but ended in making uncooked tandoori . I wonder, why Mr Arindam Sil is not writing his own thriller story for such experiments!. The only thing deserves mention is recreated theme music by Bikram Ghosh. Mr Sandeep Ray must keep certain conditions before selling rights to some A B C s who have no respect for the Maestro, only means business.

Started watching with much expectations considering Feluda has always been a fascinating character since childhood. Very upset to say that , am utterly disappointed with this presentation, I had to take 3 breaks to complete the series, not because of time but was getting bored. I ll not get into detail but it's a disaster in every aspect. I think people should think 100 times before experimenting with such iconic character...the most disgusting was character of nishikanto Babu, copied exact mannerism of lalmohan Babu in sonar kella, was it even required. Not worth a watch atleast for the people who has read or atleast seen the old ones !!!

Feluda adventure series is full of thrilling stories. And this webseries is based on famous story of Gangtok e Gondogol. We can see a modernised adaption of Feluda series by Arindam Shil. Mr. Shil's touch has covered up little bit of short comings in the series. Using original Nepali language in the series without changing it to Bengali or Hindi, left a very good impression. We have seen many popular block buster series or movies where few Russian talked between them in Hindi. This always adds pretty bad note. Talking about acting, Topse and Nishikanta's character should be played by someone else. Rudranil must stop acting. He has been playing every character with a same flavour now. He must understand that Feluda series is not bibaho ovijan. His overacting drags down the rating of the entire series.

Feluda is a most popular character in detective story. It is written by The Great Satyajit Ray. 'Sabash Feluda' is taken from the Feluda Series's story 'Gangtok e Gondogol'.

This series is directed by Arindam Sil. However, he has adopted the story of this series somewhat in his own way. Needless to say, his direction remains somewhat flawed. The audience can't really feel the clutter. There are 10 episodes in this series. While watching this series, the audience sometimes feel bored.

Nothing else to say about Screenplay. It's mostly the same between the real story and the series. Music composed by Bikram Ghosh. His music is not bad in the whole series.

Talking about performances, Parambrata Chattopadhyay portrays the 'Feluda' character and Rwitobroto Mukherjee portrays the 'Topse' character. These two are the main character in the Feluda Series. But both of the actors did not like this role. Ritwik Chakraborty (Sashadhar Bose) and Rudronil Ghosh (Nishikanto Sarkar) acted too good. In a small roll Arindam Sil (Shivkumar Selvankar) and Kamaleshwar Mukherjee (Mohandad Mehta) is very well. Others cast are average.

Finally, this series will not be very acceptable to those who are used to watching old Feluda.

Sometimes I wonder what makes a film worthy to watch! The main ingredients are story, direction and the cast Although direction is at it's finest,but the acting is so weak,from the lead actor to the side actors everyone is acting casual,no involvement to the core character. That's just upsetting. Else,the story is very neatly knotted,loved the evolved version of Feluda with lil bit action. Another thing I didn't like is the scenes,the majestic Beauty of Sikkim didn't get justice. The cinematography is not upto the mark. It could have been much better. So 2star goes to the direction,2stars to editing and 3 stars for the well evolved story.
