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.

Better recovery from the last few medicore Feluda movies. Indraneil sengupta looks fresh and earnest in his performance. However the actor who played Topshe was horrible. Jatayu was fine enough. Rest of the performances was average to okay. The screenplay of the film gets uneven at times and there are moments which doesn't hold interest. The best part of the film though is the climax where the suspense unveils and the classic Feluda tune...not to forget...........The film had very low buzz coming to it's release which is very unexpected............. Overall it's watchable... Won't mind seeing Indraneil for couple of more Feludas !!

Amazing storytelling! Excellent chemistry among this new trio! Indraneil is pitch-perfect as Feluda. Abhijit Guha has passed with letter marks as Jatayu. Other characters played by Paran Bandopadhyay and Subhasis Mukhopadhyay are exquisite! Visible utilisation of Feluda's "mogojastro" and the whodunit format has just made the movie a treat to watch for the Feluda-fans! We have already watched it once, but again are going to watch on the 31st of December 2022. Don't listen to the biased reviews of the anti-Ray Reviewers on YouTube or social media. Just go and enjoy the movie. Support this new trio. Thus new team will only get better and better in the next Feluda movies. This is guaranteed!

Film Review: Hotyapuri (House of Death) ( A Feluda Mystery) screening in cinema's #sanjuzzreviews #hotyapuri #feluda #SatyajitRay #SandipRay #indraneelsengupta

A Christmas treat for my bong friends. Directed by Sandip Ray, this one is a Feluda Mystery set in the contemporary era.

Plot: Pradosh Mitter aka Feluda with his loyal sidekicks Lalmohan Ganguly aka ace crime writer Jatayu and cousin Topse are vacationing in Puri when murders start happening on the picturesque Puri beach. Are these killings related to the disappearance of a rare manuscript from a whimsical local DG Sen or is there something more sinister brewing.

Indraneel Sengupta as Feluda does a decent job. He seems a bit stiff at first but gradually eases into the character. Abhijit Guha as Jatayu has his moments and provides much needed comic relief. Paran Bandopadhyay is an expert at creating intrigue and does so with ease. Subhasish Mukherjee also as a small but interesting role.

With no loud BGM or unnecessary histrionics , the film has glimpses of the Feluda films directed by Satyajit Ray. A strong plot, good direction & a praiseworthy climax. Aur kya chaiye Feluda fans ko!!

On a personal note, I liked Tota Roy Chowdhury & Anirban Chakraborti more as Feluda & Jayayu resp. ( In Feluda Pherot & Feluda Goendagiri).

A good movie nevertheless. Definitely worth a watch 🙂 Going with 3.5/5 got this one .. Adios 🙂!!

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.
