It might not work for some but this is the charm of his work. In his formula, Byomkesh is not allowed to romance beyond a few amorous exchanges with Satyavati (Divya Menon). The problem is Dibakar approaches the dark fantasy like a stingy visual chemist. However, when it comes to the nuts and bits of the case, more than the whodunit aspect it is the why and how he does it aspect that teases us more.
Byomkesh Bakshy, the character does create enough interest for you to want to watch his next adventure, even if the first one by itself wasn't enticing.ĭibaker Banerjee scored alright then, didn't he? You want to watch the next one, even though the first one leaves you underwhelmed. Especially, if the writers are aspiring to turn this into a series, which they clearly are. This is as important as the mystery itself – knowing the investigator, your protagonist. As he gets excited by the mystery, disappointed when he doesn't “get it”, grossed out at different points in the film, you know his character, Byomkesh Bakshy just a bit more. Sushant Singh Rajput, of course, fits the bill perfectly. And so does Swastika Mukherjee, even if it is forceful titillatio, she's there to do a job and she does it well. Neeraj Kabi holds your interest from the beginning. The performances though keep you steadfast, willing you to see the film through to the end. But every once in a while, you are jolted out of the era, whether it be a bold sexual attempt by a lady or music that is a tad too modern. Maybe it is just our need for something different, but the old-world indeed has its own charm. I was hoping to clap with glee to find out I was wrong and at the same time could hear myself say, “No chance!” Unfortunately, the latter part of me won.įortunately, while I waited then for the inevitable reveal, there was quite a bit I could distract myself with. But, you need something to look forward to, especially when you have guessed whodunnit in the character's first appearance on screen.
So, maybe, not all thrillers need to keep you tense through the run-time.
