The next in the line is Abar Byomkesh which is equally enjoyable and the third will be the adaptation of the story “Kahen Kabi Kalidas” by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. It’s near perfect keeping in mind the source material. In short this is one film which I really found difficult to find any flaws in. The editing is sharp and the background music apt. The frames are beautifully rendered keeping in mind the time frame and more importantly the subject matter. The film boasts of eye catching cinematography. The rest of the cast do justice to their respected parts as well. Their discussions and the way they throw around views at each other is wonderful to look at. It was one of the prime strengths of the narrative. The two brilliantly complemented each other. Abir is supremely in command of the character and unlike what many felt, I didn’t for a moment feel that his performance was getting overpowered by that of Saswata’s. The film may be looked upon as a family drama, a period piece and sparingly as a passion’s play. For me once the story of a thriller is unraveled, very little remains to be re-seen but here we have a film which is constantly enjoyable for its wonderful screenplay, superb performances and beautiful mounting and setting.It can be enjoyed on varying levels. This is one of those rare thrillers which you can see again and again. What happens next? Who has murdered Anadi Haldar and for what? These are the questions which drive the narrative of the film. Byomkesh is summoned again but this time by Anadi Haldar’s friend Keshto Babu who is accused by the family to have murdered Anadi Haldar. The family frames one of Anadi Haldar’s friend for the murder while the cousins arrive to take control of the property. Soon enough a murder happens but it is not Prabhat who is murdered but his adopting father Anadi Haldar who takes in the bullet. With no work in hand, Byomkesh decides to check out the case and pays a visit to the aggressors of Nanibala Roy and her son as well as the adopting father Anadi Haldar (Biswajit Chakraborty). Now his cousins who are also after the same property are threatening to kill him off for the same. She informs Byomkesh that the life of her son Prabhat (Rudranil Ghosh) might be in danger as he is the sole heir to a property which he received from his adopted father. It is during this critical time that Miss Nanibala Roy (Swagata Mukherjee) walks into their home. Byomkesh (Abir) and Ajit (Saswata) are amusing themselves with petty tricks of their own in the absence of Saytaboti, Byomkesh’s wife whom he has sent away to keep her and his son Khoka safe from the riots and other volatile situations. Abir Chatterjee was in the role of Byomkesh while Saswata Chatterjee reprised the role of Ajit who is also the narrator of the whole saga.īengal is reeling under a communal turmoil and the city is burning. There were stills of the film which were leaked when it was in production which suggested that Dutta may be shooting in Black and white to recreate the time and mood of the bygone era but with the release of the film, it became clear that it was actually in color.
