It was amazing to see Feluda back after six long years. The new Feluda story has brand new casting. Feluda portrayed by Indraneil is quite nice, and Abhijit Guha playing the role of Lalmohan Ganguly was also good. However, Ayush Das playing the role of Topsey was perfect. The dreamy eyes of teenager looking mesmerised at the Bay of Bengal from hotel balcony is a scene that I will remember and has inspired me to visit Puri one more time in near future. The chemistry of the actors blends well with the plot of the story. The director Sandip Ray has done an excellent job translating the story from 1979 perspective to 2019. Interesting to note were the finer details like Feluda having bread and omlette for breakfast, while Lalmohan babu prefering Luchi alurdum, and Topsey having fruits. The climax of the story at Bhujango Niwas seems to come out directly from the drawings of the great Satyajit Roy. Just do not forget to watch out the last scene, which appears after the name of casting and crew comes on the screen. A lot of gentlemen and ladies attending the screening, left beforehand. Overall it is a nice family entertainment movie and it would be unjust to rate it lower than a 10 point.
