He had to bind some of his books, and Prabhat, Nanibala’s son, worked in a book-binding company back then.

Some years later, a rich businessman named Anadi Halder came to Patna. She raised him on her own, but had no time to educate him. Normally, these kids are given to an orphanage, but something about this child didn’t let Nanibala give him away. She died after giving birth to her child, and the man who came to admit her never returned. She was a matron in a hospital of Patna where a sex worker had arrived one day. The story starts with Miss Nanibala Roy coming to meet Byomkesh, as she fears for her son’s life. It is through Ajit’s monologues that we hear the condition of the Kolkata of that time.

Saswata Chattopadhyay gets into the skin of Ajit with such ease that you never question him or anything he says.

However, the storyteller of all Byomkesh’s stories, Ajit, makes all the difference. He becomes Byomkesh effortlessly, right from his first scene. I have always marvelled at Abir Chatterjee’s work, and he doesn’t disappoint. The film succeeds in transporting us to Bengal. Writing a story based on that theme and flawlessly setting it in post-Independence riot-stricken Kolkata is testament to Bandyopadhyay’s skill. The story from which the film is adapted is Adim Ripu, i.e., ancient folly. Adapting his work into cinema is a difficult task, but Anjan Dutt did a great job in doing so in his first Byomkesh film, Byomkesh Bakshi (2010). However, Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay creates all his characters with the same finesse and nuance. There is an endearing core to the brilliant person Byomkesh is well known to be. His style of solving mysteries without any larger-than-life persona makes him what he is. However, Byomkesh Bakshi has always been a class apart. It has been difficult to choose between Sherlock and Feluda for the longest time.
