Watched it 'first day first show' to use an expression from my childhood and must say it was a satisfying experience. The plot moves on without sagging - it is not a typical whodunnit but more of a thriller; the Ekenisms are liberally sprinkled; Bapibabu and Pramathababu sirs do good jobs as sidekicks, has the occasional 'Khukur phone' motif, good locales and nice Benaras shots, the usual homages to Ray....most boxes are ticked.

There are a couple of questionable plot points though minor; Saswata does a good job as the villian but maybe looks 'too Bengali' to do justice to the multiple characters he portrayed, imho. But overall, a nice one to enjoy with the family.

Bengali cinema is admired for its poetic realism, humanist focus, and deep literary ties. Often influenced by literature, it balances art-house traditions with socially conscious storytelling, exploring morality, class, and the rhythms of rural life.

The mystery genre features the investigation and solving of a puzzle, typically a crime or an enigmatic event. Mysteries are known for their suspenseful narratives, intricate plots, and the challenge they present to readers or viewers to piece together clues and solve the central mystery alongside the characters.
