Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is an Experience, Says Zoya Akhtar

“IT IS VERY STYLISTIC. DIBAKAR IS A CRAFTSMAN,” SAID ZOYA AKHTAR

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar is in awe of Dibakar Banerjee’s craft in his latest film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!. She recommends the “beautiful film” to all.

“It’s one of the most beautiful films on Indian screens. I haven’t seen a movie like this for a long time. Sushant Singh Rajput is great. The film is really interesting to watch. People should see it,” Zoya said after watching the film at a special screening.

“It’s an experience. It’s very beautiful. The cinematography is excellent. The production design is gorgeous. It is very stylistic. Dibakar is a craftsman,” she added.

Based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay’s well-known and successful fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is a contemporary interpretation of Calcutta (now Kolkata) during the 1940s.

The film also features Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee.
