Web series review:Durgo Rawhoshyo ( a pujo treat for my bong friends!!)
Based on a story by famous Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay , Durgo Rawhoshyo is a six part web series currently streaming on Hoichoi.
This time the story is based in Madhya Pradesh where Byomkesh is called upon by his friend , inspector Pandey to look into a complicated murder case. This journey takes Byomkesh ( Anirban Bhattacharya) & his aides Ajit Babu and his heavily pregnant wife Satyavati ( Sohini sarkar) to an old fort that has been a part of the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and rumoured to have a hidden treasure buried there.
The current owner of the fort has suffered mysterious deaths in his family with the latest murder being that of his friend who has been staying in the fort to find the treasure. Byomkesh is pitted against a clever murderer who will stop at nothing to achieve his evil designs & has has to be at his best in order to nab the culprit, protect his wife and get to the truth!!
Anirban and Sohini as usual are brilliant as usual, having essayed these characters multiple times. Rahul Banerjee as Ajit also provides able support to the lead cast & also providing a few laughs along the way.
This is a six part series with each episode having an average runtime of around 30 mins. Can be binge-watched in a day. Great production value, eerie yet beautiful locales have been beautifully captured, stellar direction and slick editing make it a must watch for all Byomkesh fans !!
Giving it 3.5/5 for this one .. adios 🙂!!
