Eken Babu (Anirban Chakraborti), the famous detective goes to Darjeeling for a vacation with his side-kicks Promotho & Bapi but gets embroiled in a mystery concerning the disappearance of an antique stone Bishnu Idol & a precious stamp. He also reluctantly accepts a second case which involves the murder of an employee of a well known hotel in Darjeeling. Are all these cases connected ? Will Eken Babu be able to connect all the dots and solve the mystery ?

This film has a perfect blend of comedy & mystery that keeps the viewers engaged throughout. A clean film without sex, blood and gore. A treat for the entire family.

The misty locales in Darjeeling have been beautifully captured and the film gives us a virtual tour of the hill station.

Anirban Chakraborti is brilliant as the protagonist and carries the film on his fragile shoulders all throughout . Subtle humor inserted between serious scenes is not over the top and the banter between Eken, Promotho and Bapi is fun to watch. Payel Sarkar as actress Bipasha has a small role but does well. Casting is perfect overall.

Ladies & Gentlemen ....after Byomkesh & Feluda, make way for Eken Babu , the small, unassuming detective with a brilliant mind, capable of solving the most difficult cases with a smile on his face. He's here to stay for sure!! Eagerly waiting for the next installment of the franchise!!

Enjoyable film .. go for it 👍 My Rating 3.5/5 .... Adios 🙂
