What I particularly disliked at some points was the music...when I looked up on the Wikipedia I learnt that the music was designed by some independent people (which is why it appeared to be without consistency, I thought). The actors went quite a way to create the ambience, while music failed to live up to its role. The plot was rather simplistic but appealing. Every actor acted well, particularly Rajput and Kabi.
I have studied in english medium througout my life as well as into corporates where english is the only language which is officially used. But honestly when it comes to reading some piece from Raja Sen, I lose patience. Raja,...please understand these kind of english is not accepted or understood by commoners. Not even the english dailies in US or Europe use these kind of language let alone Indian english daily. So rediff, high time you think twice before giving the responsibility to Raja sen for writting a review or any piece.
All the Bengali people and Bollywood personalities should take a bow and worship Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for allowing them to plagiarize his greatest creation, Sherlock Holmes, and by providing Bengali fiction writer Sharadindu Bandopadhayaya ready-made idea for creating Indian's first Private Detective.Before all you zealots comment on this post, please take the following similarities between Detective Sherlock Holmes and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi into consideration : 1) Byomkesh Bakshi is written in year 1932 while sherlock holmes is written in the year 1887. 2) Both have an addiction of smoking. 3) Both have keen observational skills. 4) Both have a sidekick who happens to be a doctor. I sincerely fear that maybe some decades later, we may claim that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired by Sharadindu Bandophadayay's creation, Dectective Byomkesh Bakshi,to create a fictional Dectective called Sherlock Holmes.

Sir, just for info: 1. Byomkesh was not the first detective series in Bangla. It was Daroga'r Daptar (office of the Inspector), written by Priyanath Mukhopadhyay about the same time as Sherlock Holmes, and featured the travails of Barkatullah (later referred to as Bankaullah), an Inspector of Kolkata police. Less of a detective or noir form, it was more of a police procedural. However, this still remains the first recorded detective stories in Bengal. Detective stories have been around for over a century in Bengal, and Saradindu's Byomkesh was considerably later in terms of genre.

I loved the movie. Captivating, Scintillating at times; the plot builds on you. Calcutta of the 1940\'s was recreated with great detail, hats off to the creative guys. In these times of nonsensical weed movies, Byomkesh Bakshy is a fresh flower.
The trailor of this film itself was not very impressive as it film is based on old Calcutta not Kolkatta of present days.I am not impressed with this review.I shall go through other reviews ifrom my sunday news papers.
I feel Mr Sen has some preconceived opinion without going into detail of any matter. Thats why his review is also not enriching at all. I have read critical review some times favorable & some times not so favorable from many masters, they always had some strong logics but sad Raja Sen is devoid any of that. I dont know why Rediff is continuing with such a ordinery reviewer.
