Hatyapuri

If the makers are watching this review then inwill request them to make movie which will be liked in theatre not a ott based movie. If you are planning to make hit movies.

Feluda needed to be replaced he is no where close to soumitra chattopadhyay and sabyasachi chakraborty.

Rest were also not as good as the previous actors .story was predictable and movie was too boring. Background music was taken from Friday th 13th .only thing I liked about the movie was that it was typical Bengali movie dark and no lame jokes what you get in current movies .

Location was good but was ver limited they could have shown more location.

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.

Ordinary movie with a good story is the conclusion from my side.

As story, Hatyapuri is a good story with very helpful drawings for the potential film director. Many of us were having a long waiting for this film. Finally, it got released with a sense of disappointment.

Important scenes are not technically well made. As example, final scene of the fight was very ordinary. Camera work (learnt Sandip Roy was behind the camera) was again ordinary. Location Puri never really came to life. In entire movie, there is not a single good long shot. Refer back, Sonar Kella's Camel train chase scene to understand the potential we lost in Puri beach.

Dialogues are dull. Many actor choices are out of place. As example, Dhritiman would be better choice compared to Paran.

Hatyapuri is a well made film on a shoestring budget . It's a typical Sandip Ray Feluda film with new star casts. Indraneil Sengupta has done a good job. Topshe is total miscast . Abhijit Guha as Jatayu is decent . Seasoned actors like Subhashis Mukherjee,Supriya Dutta,Bharat Kaul, Shaheb Chatterjee are brilliant in their respective roles .The show stealer is once again veteran actor Paran Bandhopadhyay. His facial expressions ,body language , accent are just wow . Cinematography is decent ,editing is Good . Screenplay could have been better .The first half is slow , second half is pacy and engaging . The climax sequence is awesome. Overall an enjoyable affair.

Let's be honest here - Srijit Mukherji has clearly bagged better leads. However, "Darjeeling Jomjomat" fell flat on its face and left me both annoyed and crestfallen. "Hatyapuri" is clearly what Ray's Feluverse is supposed to look like, but it's still missing the essence of 'my' Feluda.

Indraneil Sengupta, though promising and fresh, doesn't really embody Prodosh C Mitter. His portrayal is somewhat paradoxical - he looks the part but doesn't act it. Ayush Das' Topshe doesn't work for me. Abhijeet Guha's attempt at Jatayu needs more heart and more humour.

Paran Bandopadhyay and Subhashish Mukhopadhyay prove their mettle yet again.

The whodunit works well, but the narrative doesn't really engage the viewers' attention until the final act. The telling lacks pace and urgency, quite unlike most Sandip Ray films.

Even with three parallel Feluverses currently out there, Feluda's future seems to be on shaky ground unless Sandip Ray redeems himself with his next film.
