Watch or Not?: I would definitely suggest Detective Byomkesh Bakshy and especially for those who are not smitten by Sherlock Holmes for them this is a tight mystery with a top-notch execution. Loo break: Unless you want to keep guessing what’s happening next in the loo! What’s Bad: For those who have enjoyed seeing a much more reclusive and reticent Byomkesh in Rajit Kapoor’s TV series, Sushant Singh Rajput seems a little goofy and unsure on his first case. Characters are strong and the suspense build-up is bang on. This is an excellent effort of bringing to life India’s detective figure Byomkesh Bakshy and with this film, Dibakar Banerjee forms a strong base for a crime-mystery franchise. What’s Good: A classic whodunit thriller which holds the suspense quite firmly till the end. Star Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Anand Tiwari, Swastika Mukherjee, Divya Menon, Neeraj Kabi, Meiyang Chang, Mark Bennington, Shivam, Anindya Banerjee
