A naturally charming Sushant plays the role to perfection. That is why Byomkesh is a charming individual. He still gets beaten and remains very much human, unlike Sherlock. Though a constant comparison is drawn between Byomkesh and Sherlock, Byomkesh is a sweet person who is intelligent but not genius. He rejects the case first but later takes it. Byomkesh mentions a couple of scenarios and is beaten by Ajit. The title cards appear next and what we see is the present, still a period flick where a distraught Ajit Kumar Banerjee (Anand Tiwari) approaches Byomkesh Bakshi (Sushant Singh Rajput) to ask him to find his missing father. It was a brilliant one with a shadowy background giving a dreary setup. And a mystic figure appears who steals from the smugglers. The movie starts with a Chinese gang smuggling opium from the docks. Even without understanding every twists and turns. May be with few other movies, even though I could get the greatness I could not like the movie as much I should have but here the movie completely worked. ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’ is up there as one of his best. He has nailed every movie with conviction. He makes great films with such ease, that only masters could make.
