Another instant classic from Dibakar Banarji. The characters were maybe adapted from someone else's work but he made them come alive. Detective Byomkesh Bakshi has class and style of a perfect conspiracy somewhat like Casino Royale. It had everything from an aspiring Detective, his not so ambitious assistant, an archnemesis and a masterfully worked plot. The camera work, themes and every technical aspect of the film is spectacular but the real strength of the movie lies in its plot. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for the whole time. Also the acting in the film is very good especially Neeraj Kabi. DBB definitely raised the bar for Hindi thriller films. Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is an undenied classic. Its a shame people haven't took notice of it still after so many years. Also the unfortunate death for Sushant has put a question mark on the future of Detective Bakshi. I personally would have loved to see more of India's own Sherlock Holmes.

Satya was Street smart, gritty and had very defined emotions.

Company is different. It shows you the mob in a very Shakespearean way much like Vishal Bhardwaj's films. It is a cold hearted film with utmost details. Ramu did a fine job. It had no unnecessary songs that most films from that time had which slowed the pace of the films. The drama in company is very gritty. Every sequence leads upto a greater motive. The tension in the film feels real and those things make Company a true classic. Also Vivek was outstanding along with Ajay, and a very clinical Mohanlal.

For those of you who haven't seen the original film. This film will be a mighty entertainer. The plot is easy to follow with some very good acting. Some scenes in this film are ao rich in its grit that you forget that they are just actors who are working for a living.

If you're seeing this review you should watch this film. You might get amazed. And those of you who care about remakes being worthless, to your surprise Quentin Tarantino himself has declared this film to be one of the best adaptations of his work.
