Needless to say, it's the beginning of a wonderful friendship.īyomkesh takes on Ajit's case partly because he feels bad for Ajit and because Byomkesh's ego demands he find evidence to prove his theory that Ajit's father has been murdered. Net result: Ajit literally punches Byomkesh's lights out. Considering how long he's been untraceable, Ajit's father is not a missing person but a dead man and Byomkesh bluntly says as much to Ajit. As far as Byomkesh is concerned, there's no mystery here. When his father can't be found for two months, Ajit (Anand Tiwari) approaches Byomkesh for help. In the middle of all this is a young detective, working on his first case. The second World War and the threat of Japanese bombs threaten the colonial city. Shadows loom large here and a hundred shades of darkness haunt its streets. The city beyond the window is in sharp focus - because the real hero of Banerjee's film is the Calcutta that the director has imagined.Ī gorgeous mix of fantasy and reality, Banerjee's Calcutta is as pretty and delicate as a watercolour painting, but with accents of noir. In the foreground of the frame is Byomkesh (Sushant Singh Rajput), out of focus, with his back to the window. One simple, unremarkable tram ride through Calcutta is all Banerjee needs to establish the world in which his new film is set. Within the first few minutes of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, you understand why Dibakar Banerjee is widely regarded as the best director in Bollywood.
