Detective

Most of the Rabindranath's Detective stories are comic ones. Though it's a 2 hours film it still lags. Needs trimming. Many unnecessary sequences are involved. Second hour is better than first hour. Main plot lies in it. Performances are quite good. Art and Cinematography Departments stands out. Watchable one !

The story of this movie I do not like But the acting of Anirban Bhattacharjee is amazing, the story of this movie e is too much annoying. I do not recommend anyone to watch this film,

Anirban played his character really well but I am not sure why he signed up for this film. This was ridiculously slow with nothing really going on. Saheb chaterjee was terribly terribly miscast with his modern haircut, clothing and general body language. I failed to understand the point of most of the characters. One performance i truly enjoyed was that of the girl enlisted by the detective to extract information from Mahim. She was a delight. The dress design, the haircuts were not true to the era at all, no attention was paid to the details. Awful waste of time.

An unengaging and plain bad movie. You get an idiot for a detective who is the protagonist. This is neither a detective mystery thriller nor a comedy and goes nowhere. Almost two hours runtime feels like two days. They were confused whether to show the 'Swadeshi' revolutionaries in good or bad light. There's no resolution to why Mahimchandra is not attracted to his wife. I'm sure Rabindranath didn't write this crap. It failed to create the atmosphere of the 1900s. It fees like an episode from a Star Jalsa period drama. Surprisingly, Anirban's acting also falls below his standard. I wonder, why he signed up for this trash. Worst movie of the year.

Good acting by Anirban was the only positive thing in the series, which was filled with childish jokes and silly comic scenes. The script could have been better written and presented differently.
