Bengal Shining


I was not quite captivated initially by Detective Byomkesh Bakshi – it seemed a good collection of movie sets and a somewhat faux art storyline. At some indeterminate point, I began to get captivated by its sheer relentlessness. Sushant Singh Rajput does well, but he is supported by a solid ensemble of characters. However, all said and done, credit for the movie goes to Diwakar Banerjee, who simply shines through with screenplay that is near-psychedelic in parts. Will rank this alongside the likes of Dev D, Page 3 and Rock On as hindi movies that surprised me hugely on the upside


15.5/20
