Byomkesh O Durgo Rahasya

The movie lacks the basic characterization of detective stories; not for a single I feel any suspense.

No edge of the seat suspense. Drag & boring screenplay. Why the bengali directors are always puting unnecessary closeness on screen with formidable dialogues are revolting. This is destroying the charm and grace of a Byomkesh Bakshi movie,,./// especially when the tone and standard have been set high up by Uttam Kumar and Rajit Kapoor, and also Gaurav Chakraborty...We need to reinvent the sleuth in his true avatar...however the movie succeeds in creating a mystery...that is all about it. Actors' talents have not been fully utilized in the film...Not recommended even for a light watch. Do not waste your money & timefor the undeserving film.

Once Byomkesh was brainy truth-seeker but this movie has made him dull muscle man!

Once Ajit was deep-thinking writer but this movie has made him joker!

Once Satyabati was a critic yet supportive and proud of her husband but this movie has made her too annoying!

The cinematography, visuals are good to watch according to budget.

But where is the suspense? A detective movie must have that ingredients so that audience also will start thinking and analysing about the mystery from the beginning of the movie.

A big NO to that as first half is so boring.

Now come to Bengali pronunciation .. Sob jinis sobar dara ki hoi?

Don't go with IMDB to watch this film this films is a absolute masterpiece we can see a byomkesh the presentation is new not a typical byomkesh presentation don't go with review this is absolute big screen experience BGM and Cinematography is top notch that holds your excitement 😍🔥 Dev surpasses Anirban as byomkesh presentation is absolutely good and this mass presentation of byomkesh will rock the theatres full on citi maar moments is there and Dev is a very good actor and Rukmini's role was not up to the mark sometimes it becomes repetitive but Ambarish as Ajit rock the show and the chemistry between Dev and Ambarish is awesome and absolutely this Byomkesh is a visual spectacle finally this byomkesh is a masterpiece.

Satyavati's presence in the first half made me feel like I was watching an art film rather than a detective movie. Unfortunately, there was no element of suspense or a detective environment in the film. Although the setting was visually appealing, it wasn't utilized to enhance the storytelling. Only in the second half did the storyline start to become clearer, but even then, it lacked excitement. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the movie. After a 10-year hiatus, I finally watched a Bengali movie in the cinema and was disappointed to find that the quality remains unchanged. Very very bad experience.

Review of #ByomkeshODurgoRahoshyo ::: Firstly Direction by #BirsaDasgupta is fairly average, Screenplay by Subhendu Dasmunshi is very sloth. Based on the bestseller Durgo Rahasya by #SharadinduBandyopadhyay and produced by #Dev, #ShyamSundarDey & Tanmoy Banerjee is not upto the mark.

As per performances are concerned, the trio Dev, #RukminiMaitra & even #AmbarishBhattacharya is miscasted and eventually they gave their career's worst performances. #RajatavaDutta, #ShantilaalMukherjee, #DebeshChattopadhyay & #ShankarDebnath lent abled support. #SatyamBhattacharya was impressive. #SampurnaMandal in her cameo sparkles in her body language and dialogue delivery. But the performance of whom I can speak volumes is of none other than #AtmadeepGhosh. Whatta marvellous actor he is !!!

Cinematography by #SubhankarBhar is of high order. Specially the way he took the frames in darkness meticulously. But since 80% of the film is shot in darkness, so the audience may tend to feel mundane. Editing by Sumit Chowdhury could have been crisper. The pace of the whole film is very slow, barring the last 15 mins. Costumes by #JayantiSen is of high order, specially the way she has handled the vintage look of the 40's through the styling of the cast. But, I must say, Pregnant Satyaboti shouldnt have worn such heavy or rich and ironed costumes.

Well this Byomkesh haven't smoked. Thats a nice touch of cinematic liberty. But instead of Bouthan, Ajit continuously calling Satyaboti as Satyo in 40's era, was too much to digest.

But a very predictable plot, and even if you haven't read the novel, still you can guess the culprit. Because, audience now-a-days are not dumb enough to be lost in such a narrative pattern.

Music by #DiptarkaBose was not at all hummable. The theme song is good but it didnt find any place on anyone's mind.

Production companies #ShadowFilms & #DevEntertainmentVentures and Distribution by #PVRInoxPictures have made a #OneTimeWatch film. U may give it a pass too.
