Byomkesh Hatyamancha

In general, detectives are not allowed to believe in coincidence.

Jim Gordon: "You're a detective now, son. You're not allowed to believe in coincidence anymore" (Dark Knight Rises)

However, the case in this movie is solved using several coincidences. Byomkesh was roaming around Chitpur, he saw Kalicharan. On the contrary, Kalicharan and Kalikinkar pose doubt in viewer's mind; however, our detective is clueless in that front. Kalikinkar is sneaky enough to use paper cuttings to threat Biswanath; however he kept the original paper in his room only to be discovered by the detective.

Moreover, the movie lacks the basic characterization of detective stories; not for a single I feel any suspense. I don't understand the reason behind converting this into a dramatic one.

Because the base story was unfinished, I did not have much expectation from the makers as it would not be their forte to write as per Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. There are many anachronistic points, especially an ageing Byomkesh and younger Ajit and others. There was no need to bring so many threads that would not add anything to the plot. However the reason I score this movie high is because it is extremely artistically made. Each frame is beautiful, the lighting is awesome. It is difficult to imagine that someone of Arindam Sil's calibre would be able to art direct so seamlessly. It must be his team, someone from the theatre world to have directed it.

The movie will keep at the edge of your seat. The best thing about the movie is the suspension, various motive have been shown but the real motive was shocking and to know that you will have to watch the whole movie.he is. Truly India's reply to Sherlock.

Seems everyone can use the name Byomkesh and mutilate it at their whim. It is a pain to watch such movies.

Dear directors of modern Bengali movies, pls use your own grey cells & write your own script. Stop using the name Byomkesh.

The story telling, flow, and most of all the way Byomkesh appears is too shallow. Never read Byomkesh living a fancy life before - give me a break. And ending the movie with a kiss - my god.

Beware of this movie and save your time & energy for a different one this time.

Abir is too monotonous and predictable and don't have the cariama of the real zeal of the Saradindu creation.

Rubbish movie. No edge of the seat suspense. Drab & boring screenplay. 1971 female character using clutch clip & shantiniketani leather bag with modern design is laughable. All characters look same. Who is braja ? Who is kali ? Who is lightman ? You won't remember. Atrocious makeup. Other than the protagonist trio rest is sludge. The explicit scenes are also nauseating. Utterly discomforting. Why the bengali directors are always puting unnecessary closeness on screen with formidable dialogues are revolting. Not recommended even for a light watch. Do not wast your money & timefor the undeserving film.
