Shekhar Home

Smart, quick witted and desi adaptation of the Sherlock series. While one constantly keeps the comparison on the back of the mind all the time, this is quite well written despite the tall standards it has to live up to. Kay Kay Menon does a phenomenal job. Though i would have preferred a younger lad to don his role. After a long long time one can really look forward to a desi sleuth series next edition.

The 90s setting, the Bengali nuances and the top notch characters written for the supporting roles as well puts this as an interesting one to binge watch. Each episode is quite different and yet seamlessly blends and transitions from the previous one. And the plots are well written to make it believable in the 90s setting.

Rohan Sippy and Srijit Mukherjee's direction in Shekhar Home is a perfect blend of suspense and humor. They've created a unique atmosphere that feels both tense and playful, making the series a joy to watch. The attention to detail in the setting and character development is impressive, and their ability to balance multiple storylines without losing focus is a testament to their skill.

Amazing treat for sherlock fans. If you are watching this after being a fan of elementary then you wont be disappointed. Kay Kay Menon sir and Ranvir sir are an absolute delight. The direction is fantastic and background score is good.

The suspense buildup is good. It is the first time that detective series of such good quality has been made. The character of sherlock and watson has been accurately depicted with such simplicity. It has been beyond my expectation. With no much hindering about it has short episodes and hits onto the point. All the supporting characters have been played flawlessly. The character of irene played as iravaty has been magnetic too. I am eagerly waiting for season 2.

I don't understand. Why we settle for cheap copy paste. Why can't we be original like Byomkesh Bakshi? May be stalwart like KK Menon needed money, but do we realise how all this impacts Brand 'Bharat'? Brand KK Menon? May be people who are going gaga over this haven't seen the original yet. Once they see the original they'll realise that there's nothing much to offer in direction, story line and even acting (as one needs to just copy the character). I started watching it and quickly realised the references from original are not just references, they are exactly lifted from the original show (Sherlock)

I have yet to watch the original BBC Sherlock Holmes story on which this Indian adaptation is based; therefore, I would humbly refrain from drawing any sort of comparison here.

Although I'll gladly admit I have taken a liking to the cast selection here. Kay Kay Menon as Sherlock, aka Shekhar, offbeat yet a genius persona was spot on. We all know he's a capable actor, and he did perform to his merits here.

The same remark applies for Ranbir Shorey too for he had gelled well as Shekhar's witty and inquisitive partner in investigation.

As for the format, whilst the first four episodes are treated as mini stories, with different type of crimes and their varying resolutions, last two acted as critical junctures to Shekhar's mysterious handlings in the past which led him right into a bigger conspiracy.

Suffice to say, I liked the concluding episodes better, primarily because they had more depth and material to show for.
