Byomkesh

It's a relief to see the makers' understanding of the OTT medium - they did not just present the story as they would on the big screen. Crisply written and edited, it has no prolonged dramatic or action sequences, unnecessary fiery dialogues, outlandish costumes or songs. Nor are their directorial comments amounting to gyaan on the socio-political situation of the times like in some of the recent Byomkesh films.

But Anirban Bhattacharya, a talented and established theatre actor himself, has not allowed these factors colour his performance. He steers clear of falling prey to theatrical tropes and brings to the character equal measures of intelligence and daredevilry.

All said and done, Byomkesh is a series I would surely be keeping an eye out for.

Bengali society is aware of Byomkesh starting from Uttam Kumar, then Rajit Kapoor and when Abir came in the silver screen, it grabbed the eyeballs of the amazing aura of a Satyaneshi. But Anirban Sir has added the best flavour to it. He acts the best and I feel he's one of the strongest Byomkesh character the Bengali industry have right now. His dialogue delivery, husky voice and the bengali pronunciation,simply the best.

Just finished watching season 7 Chorabali. A Masterpiece. I believe nobody again will dare to create another Byomkesh movie without Anirban. Great direction by Soumik.

Everyone in this series gave their hundred percent. The Direction, cinematography, acting, story telling is at its best.

I'm completely nuts for anirban. Can't stop watching his work. 💓
