His body language and gestures in the scene before he kills that lady reminded me of some great Shakespeare an actor and Sushant did his best to justify the character as per film\'s script but unfortunately this script betrayed him. I do not know the name of that actor who played Dr Guha in spite of his best efforts his performance was of theatre not film. A most confusing film which never reaches the audience.Whodunit films require highly communicative approach which this film lacks.It is, I think Dibakar\'s obsession with the subject failed him and creating one story out of many is an art which only class writer can produce.

I completely agree with you that it is noway near that great DD serial by Basuda.
I have spent my childhood in \'Calcutta\'of mid fifties and I would congratulate Dibakar for this master creation of that era. A very interestingly designed and modernising the nostalgia. You have rightly heard \'ganga maiya\' from that Chinese or Japanese God knows. Incidentally that reminds me the last time, music actually took me back in the late 40s was in HEY RAM composed by the maestro Illaiyaraja or in the latest YRF’s DUM LAGA JE HAISHA too reminding us of the musical 80s and 90s. But they repeatedly forget or deliberately ignore to recreate the music of those times too coming up with a similar sound and arrangements using the relevant musical instruments.
Moreover its always confusing to see the creative team working too hard on recreating the gone era in a period film with all those fabulous sets, costumes, special effects and spoken language. Also in the background score, where the naturally added sounds excel, the westerns arrangements and rock tracks keep disturbing a lot. For example, at one end you have a fabulous line ‘Sach Ke Aaspaas Wala Jhooth Pakadna Mushkil Hota Hai’ and on the other the sacred river Ganga is strangely referred to as ‘Ganga Maiya’ by a Japanese drug dealer too (or did I hear it wrongly!). wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Byomkesh_Bakshi_Season_1.In the writing department, the sequences begin to drag pretty badly in its second half and the dialogues or language also remains inconsistent as I strongly felt at several instances.wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Byomkesh_Bakshi_Season_2.png.The intro of Byomkesh Bakshi's season 1 (en).dbc:Television_shows_set_in_Maharashtra.dbc:Television_shows_based_on_Indian_novels.dbc:Television_shows_set_in_West_Bengal.dbc:1997_Indian_television_series_endings.dbc:1993_Indian_television_series_debuts.wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Byomkesh_Bakshi_Season_2.png?width=300.wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Byomkesh_Bakshi_Season_1.jpeg?width=300.It has been re-telecasted on DD National from 28 March 2020 during the lockdown of 21 days due to coronavirus.
