Bengali Films – Raajhorshee De on Feluda film, Hatyapuri

The quintessential Bengali winter consists of notun gurer sandesh and different delicacies created from this magic potion, a household go to to Alipore zoo, the assorted reincarnations of Olympic Circus, the glitzy New Market and a magical stroll down the decked-up Park Avenue for Christmas and New Yr. Add to all this a Feluda film launch in your close by multiplex and that’s a blockbuster, albeit the proverbial cherry on the cake. This winter introduced a reinvented Feluda and that too directed by Sandip Ray.

The time-honoured Bengali allegiance to Satyajit Ray and his detective tales of Feluda performed by the good Soumitra Chatterjee believes that the one director who can do justice to the maestro’s creation is his prodigious son Sandip Ray. So we’re all the time in search of a Soumitra in a Sabyasachi (Chakrabarty) and a Sabyasachi in a Soumitra.

Shadow Movies and Shyam Sundar Dey are recognized handy down hits that are panoramic. For instance, they produced Satyanweshi Byomkesh with Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Rudranil Ghosh, which was launched throughout Durga Puja and was a success; a few sequence/ motion pictures, the well-known Kanta sequence of Narayan Sanyal during which Saswata Chatterjee is enjoying the protagonist, in addition to Shikharpur with Ankush and Kaushik Ganguly.

As a private selection, I undoubtedly like Indraneil Sengupta essentially the most as Feluda. He has given his all to this character; his display presence is magnetic although he doesn’t have the fashionable illustrative ornamentation in his costumes. He has repeatedly proved his mettle as an actor, each as Kiriti and Feluda. Nonetheless, I strongly really feel he shouldn’t play any detective character after Feluda. One thing is iconic and I imagine he’ll stick with that.

Nonetheless, Feluda’s success can also be immediately proportional to who performs the function of Jatayu, which fortunately was performed by Abhijit Guha. Abhijit is himself a director and a strong actor. His planning and analysis are apparent in his presentation. Paran Bandyopadhyay, Subhashish Mukherjee, Deb Chatterjee, Ashim RoyChoudhury, Saheb Chatterjee and Supriyo Dutta have acted very properly. Additionally, Puri as a vacation spot has all the time been one of many favourites of Bangalis.

In all my movies I attempt to persuade my viewers that feminism isn’t about making ladies stronger. Ladies are already robust; it’s about altering the best way the world perceives that energy. The identical goes for Antara Mitra within the title card who has been part of the Feluda journey lately, ranging from Parambrata as Feluda to the Srijit Mukherji directed Feluda with Tota Roy Choudhury as Feluda and at last Sandip Ray’s Hatyapuri. Antara has accomplished the manufacturing with ease.

The success of Hatyapuri is one other harbinger of hope for Tollywood; the producers ought to earn sufficient to really feel the braveness to spend money on future ventures. In the meantime, Feluda is arriving on one other nationwide OTT, being directed by Arindam Sil during which Parambrata performs the sleuth. Arindam as a craftsman of Byomkesh has been a blockbuster, so look out for his Feluda which is coming quickly. Until then do catch a present of Hatyapuri.
