Hatyapuri

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.

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.

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!

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.
