(Review of season 1, Darjeeling Jomjomat)
Feluda is evergreen in Bangla literature. Event though you know the original story, it's still thrilling enough to see all the versions made by different artists.
It's every director's dream to direct Feluda of their own. I have read Feluda, watched on big screen, where Feluda was played by Soumitra Chatterjee. Watched Feluda played by Sabyasachi Chakraborty. I have listened to Feluda in radio Mirchi with Sabyasachi's voice. All those versions stayed with me as classics. And when I saw Feluda is out in web series in Hoichoi, with Srijit's direction, I was so excited, because Feluda deserves web series.
The cast gave me a good feeling. Especially, Tota Roy Chowdhury as Feluda. I loved it. He aced in Feluda's personality from stunning yoga poses to lighting the Charminar.
About the background music, I was not fully satisfied. I was missing the music, the one played in the old movies to radio Mirchi's narration. Even though the new background music is good, it couldn't reach the classic height as the old one. I also like the theme song played by three of my favorite musicians, there too I was comparing it with the old classic music. It was good, but hard to love after hearing the old one.
The things that amazed me in this movie were the beautiful representation of Darjeeling, the stunning Kanchenjunga. And the chase after of cars in the mountain roads of Darjeeling, that was superb! It was dangerously beautiful.
If you are a Feluda lover, try this out. Try not to compare too much. Will appreciate more web series like this so the that time spent binging gets worthy!
