The Eken

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.

Eken babu sleuths around a murder mystery in the misty slopes of Darjeeling along with Pramatha and Bapi. What could go wrong with a premise like this? Well this. The script could have been so much tighter, the characters could have been developed more before making them slide between the good-bad barrier. Some of the dialogs are stale and lack punch. I feel Somak and Suhotro are a waste in their roles. We all know from the Somak-Agni clips what magic Somak can weave with his acting...and those who have seen Gora know Suhotro's potential too. These two could have been given better dialogues and more involvement in the plot instead of just hanging around the protagonist saying lame and obvious things.

The storyline doesnt come together with a click the way it happens in good whodunnits. My rating of 6 is just because of Anirban Chakraborti's acting and presence. The fellow never ceases to entertain.

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!

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.

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.
