Sushant Singh Rajput in Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015) | Dibakar Banerjee Productions/Yash Raj Films
A detective is not a policeman. He is not a family member or a friend of the victim. He is a free agent hired by a client to investigate a crime – or sometimes does so of his own volition. Pipe, magnifying glass, overcoat, deerstalker hat optional.
One of the most popular Bengali – and then Indian – detective characters is Byomkesh Bakshi. Created by the author Saradindu Bandyopadhyay in the 1930s, the detective is still very popular in Bengal, with everything from a Satyajit Ray film to multiple web series based on him. He gained national currency when a TV serial on his adventures ran on Doordarshan to great popularity.
