The iconic sleuth, Byomkesh Bakshi (Abir Chatterjee), is now old and ailing. But before he retires from his search for the truth, he has the most critical case of his career unfinished. Will he be able to explain why he thinks his absconding son, Abhimanyu (Joy Sengupta), is not a killer? Is there more to the story than that meets the eye?Bidai Byomkesh 2018 Movie Download.
Review: Creating a laudable spin-off with one of Bengal’s most-loved sleuths is a tough ask for any filmmaker. But once you invite a challenge, you need to stand up to it. And director Debaloy Bhattacharya, to appear acceptable, partly uses tricky screenplay and partly plays to the gallery. The very premise, on which the story builds — Byomkesh Bakshi trying to use his razor-sharp wit while defying age — is the answer to many fans’ queries about the detective. Nobody wanted Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s Byomkesh stories to discontinue. But all good things do come to an end. But then again, when it’s not good, it’s not the end.
Is Bidaay Byomkesh, which attempts to capture the sleuth’s final terrific win, all that good?The first half builds expectations, prepares ground for a clever ending. The film does not only adapt the iconic sleuth from book to celluloid, like many other Byomkesh films do, but also takes the story forward with a leap of many years. When the old Byomkesh (Abir) is introduced in the opening scene, you naturally scan through the makeup in close-up scenes. It could have been more detailed with the kind of resources available. Abir ends up looking rather chiselled for his character’s age. On his part, a muffled voice works in some scenes — especially when Byomkesh visits his son, Abhimanyu (Joy), in the prison for the first time. In others, chewing words and stiffening the lower lip don’t create impact. But while playing Byomkesh’s grandson Satyaki (Abir), he is pleasantly easy and delightfully different from playing Byomkesh in his prime.
