Byomkesh O Durgo Rahasya

Once Byomkesh was brainy truth-seeker but this movie has made him dull muscle man!

Once Ajit was deep-thinking writer but this movie has made him joker!

Once Satyabati was a critic yet supportive and proud of her husband but this movie has made her too annoying!

The cinematography, visuals are good to watch according to budget.

But where is the suspense? A detective movie must have that ingredients so that audience also will start thinking and analysing about the mystery from the beginning of the movie.

A big NO to that as first half is so boring.

Now come to Bengali pronunciation .. Sob jinis sobar dara ki hoi?

Worst Byomkesh movie I have seen in my life. Actor Dev's voice is very bad for Byomkesh character. His voice is not clear. Because we know he stutters and his expressions are not good. 'Byomkesh Bakshi Series' is being trolled for Dev's performance. Dev has ruined Byomkesh's reputation. I think the director made a mistake in choosing the lead actor. Rukmini is also not perfect for Satyavati. As kids we enjoyed Byomkesh Bakshi series. The film industry started producing movies in this series. But, nowadays they are not choosing good actors for those movies. As a result we feel very bad. The director has started the drama with our emotions. We want a good actor for the role of Byomkesh Bakshi. Not DEV.

Satyavati's presence in the first half made me feel like I was watching an art film rather than a detective movie. Unfortunately, there was no element of suspense or a detective environment in the film. Although the setting was visually appealing, it wasn't utilized to enhance the storytelling. Only in the second half did the storyline start to become clearer, but even then, it lacked excitement. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the movie. After a 10-year hiatus, I finally watched a Bengali movie in the cinema and was disappointed to find that the quality remains unchanged. Very very bad experience.

Dev brings a whole new fresh perspective to Byomkesh & proves himself. This was unlike any Byomkesh before and there was an added massy touch. His entry is one of the massiest entry scenes in a Bengali movie. Performances of each and every cast member are solid which elevates the film. Each of them brought a new touch to characters. Birsa Dasgupta's larger-than-life commercial presentation reinvents the detective genre in Bengali films. This is so well crafted and is very gripping & engaging, the plot captivates you. And it's among the most visually stunning movie in Bengal. The production values are impeccable. The music is very powerful, the Bom Satyaneshi track is a banger. The film hits all the right notes. It somehow reminds me of Sushant, Dibakar & YRF's Byomkesh zone. Overall I would say it's a very solid watch and a great cinematic experience.

"Byomkesh o Durgo Rahasya," directed by Birsa Dasgupta, features a solid cast. The main highlight of the film is Superstar Dev portraying the role of Byomkesh for the very first time. Rukmini Maitra plays the role of Satyabati, and Ambarish Bhattacharya plays Ajit. To be honest, many people are skeptical about the cast. The director has chosen a different approach to depict Byomkesh. "Durga Rahasya" is one of the finest Byomkesh stories by Saradindu Bandopadhyay. In this adaptation, Byomkesh is more adventurous than being a Satyanweshi, reminiscent of Shankar and "Durgo Rahasya." Dev plays his role with utmost sincerity, but Rukmini Maitra seems to be a misfit, with most of her scenes slowing down the pace. Ambarish, as Ajit, comes across more like a comedian than a writer. The other cast members perform their parts well, especially Satyam Bhattacharya. Subhankar Bhar's camera work is a treat to watch, and the locations are picturesque. The background music helps engage the audience. Overall, it provides a great theatrical experience if you don't expect this movie to be a typical Byomkesh film. The highlights of the movie are Byomkesh's introduction scene and the climax. Dev is attempting to introduce something new to his old audience, who love masala flicks. This idea is quite revolutionary. To regain our past glory, we need to attract more audiences to the theater.
