'Royal Bengal Rahashya' is one of its kind. A must watch!


Maybe this year Feluda has got a competitor in Don but the aura never seems to get dull. Such is the craze that even after reading the stories so many times you seem to get attracted like a iron towards a magnet. And 'Royal Bengal Rahashya' is a different type in itself because as such there in no villain but there is something which will keep you a the edge of your chair. And what more? - The spine chilling adventure has encounters with a tiger and snakes. And the locations are mind blowing.

The scenes are awesome. Music is as usual, hauntingly good. Before watching this one, i thought that maybe Sabyasachi would look to old and odd as Feluda but i was amazed, he is indeed good. Bibhu Bhattachajee as Jatayu is entertaining as always and the fun elements give an extra mileage to this film. Those who love reading books will always get some flaws in the films made from those books but this one has been made with care not to spoil Satyajit Ray's story. Here as Feluda fans know, Feluda's intelligence is the main weapon and its sharper than anything else.

Sandip Ray is an awesome director and he proved it yet again. Saheb has developed as Topshe but he can be even better. This film yet again shows how talented Paran Bandopadhyay is as an actor in the role of Debotosh Singha Ray. His performance is outstanding. Bhaswar's short role as Tarit suits him very well. Altogether this one is a wonderful winter gift. One of the best Feluda films till date!

Let's sing the song of equality Nothing is greater than human, nor important. No difference in country-time-person, same for all religion, In countries, times, and houses they are relatives.

They said that he had the ability to defy God and yet be devoted.
