Let me cut to the chase:
Pros
1. Susoenseful scenes of danger involving wild animals
2. Anirban Chakrabarti's acting
Cons.
1. Shamless contextual advertising marring the plot 2. Too much reference to Feluda and Lalmohan Ganguly. Almost as if Srijit knew his Kakababu didnt have it in him to carry the entire script on his own shoulders and therefore the desperate attempt to cling on to a character that Bengalis would warm up to with 100 % certainty.
3. Hardly any whodunnit angle. The bad man revealed himself and solved the mystery for Kakababu 4. A sorry Kakababu (in Sunil Ganguly's manuscripts, where did the old man go to highlight his hair I wonder?) and a sorrier Shontu ( i expect a more cerebral looking fellow as Shontu. How about Riddhi in the next one?)
Overall a good watch but a slightly disappointing one. I have said this earlier about Srijit messing with famous Bengali literature. If you do take up the job of fliming originals penned by folks like Satyajit Ray or Sunil Ganguly, you got to live up to a certain standard. Else, just film stories of your own. You do a much better job with originals (dwitiyo purush notwithstanding).
