Byomkesh

We all know about the stories but there acting is sach an amazing. Superb acting....

I will recommend this to anyone wanting to dip their toes into the Byomkesh world. One does not need any prior knowledge of Byomkesh. The way this show is presented is very simple. One story per episode and as of this moment there is total of 11 episodes containing 8 stories. This is the best presentation of Sharadindu's Byomkesh in my opinion.

Just like who is the best bond, there is a debate as to who is the best Byomkesh? I have no qualms about it. Only thing I know is that Anirban Bhattacharya's acting was excellent. The best thing about his Byomkesh is that he looks very human. Just like us only a bit smarter. Other cast members were excellent as well. Subrat Dutta as Ajit and Ridhima Ghosh as Satyabati was superb. The sound design was excellent neither too much nor too little, just perfect for the suspense to build. The production value is high and consistent throughout the seasons.

I really enjoyed Byomkesh (2017- ). The story was presented in a simple manner. The runtime being short, there was no room for extra masala. It felt almost like reading a book but in a more entertaining manner. The pacing was excellent, no boring moments. This show is excellent for people who has not yet read or seen much of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay's Byomkesh.

It's a relief to see the makers' understanding of the OTT medium - they did not just present the story as they would on the big screen. Crisply written and edited, it has no prolonged dramatic or action sequences, unnecessary fiery dialogues, outlandish costumes or songs. Nor are their directorial comments amounting to gyaan on the socio-political situation of the times like in some of the recent Byomkesh films.

But Anirban Bhattacharya, a talented and established theatre actor himself, has not allowed these factors colour his performance. He steers clear of falling prey to theatrical tropes and brings to the character equal measures of intelligence and daredevilry.

All said and done, Byomkesh is a series I would surely be keeping an eye out for.

Bengali society is aware of Byomkesh starting from Uttam Kumar, then Rajit Kapoor and when Abir came in the silver screen, it grabbed the eyeballs of the amazing aura of a Satyaneshi. But Anirban Sir has added the best flavour to it. He acts the best and I feel he's one of the strongest Byomkesh character the Bengali industry have right now. His dialogue delivery, husky voice and the bengali pronunciation,simply the best.

I'm completely nuts for anirban. Can't stop watching his work. 💓
