Very predictable rahasya
Cast: Indraniel Sengupta, Abhijit Guha,
Ayush Das, Abhinav Barua, Debnath Chatterjee & Dr. Mohan Agashe
Rating: 2.5*
Director Sandip Ray sets the original story, which fortunately has not been tampered with much, in today’s times but the film falls flat because of a weak narrative. The editing too leaves a lot to be desired, making the film a tad boring at times.
Magician Sunil Tarafdar whose speciality in magic is hypnotism is famous and his show also involves a child protégé Jyotishka whose actual name is Nayan, a wonder kid, who can answer anything that has anything to do with numbers. Pradosh Mitter aka Feluda (a fair Indraneil Sengupta), Topshe (a weak Ayush Das) & Lal Mohan Ganguly aka Jatayu (an entertaining Abhijit Guha) are invited to attend one of the shows, are quite impressed by the wonder boy’s talent. But what hits them is that most people ask questions to the boy about their personal gains. Sunil gets an offer to perform in Chennai with Jyotishka and requests the trio to accompany them to Chennai to protect Nayan from any harm that may come in any form. Also during this time and some incidents later, Feluda gets another offer from Mr. Ritesh Hingorani to protect him from his partner who he feels is out to kill him. The scene then shifts to Chennai & Mahabalipuram in south India.
Abhinabha Barua playing Jyotishka / Nayan
arrests you with his hypnotic eyes and gives a wonderful performance. Debnath
Chatterjee as magician Sunil Tarafdar impresses and so does Rajesh Sharma in an
effective cameo as the detective from Detecknik. It’s an immense pleasure to
watch Dr. Mohan Agashe playing the shrewd old Ritesh Hingorani. Special
appearances by Supriyo Dutta as TNT are over the top, Bharat Kaul as Henry
Hodgson looks jaded and Biswajit Chakraborty as Nandalal Basak is passable.
If you are into detective novels and films
then you can easily spot the culprit without breaking into a sweat. It’s so
predictable.
