Feludar Goyendagiri

The private detective genre of films and stories is catnip for most Bengalis. Having grown up reading novels about private detectives like Saradindu Bandopadhyay’s Byomkesh, Satyajit Ray’s “Feluda” series of novels, or even to some extent, Sunil Gangopadhyay’s “Kakababu” series of novels (though they skew more towards the adventure bent), most Bengalis’ appetite for films tends to fall towards that same genre. As a result, the film grammar of any of these adaptations is irrelevant. As long as the screenplay of those movies follows the books (the more faithful the adaptation, the better) and as long as the actor portrays the character as approximately close to the book’s version, you will always have a cadre of the audience ready to watch said adaptations.Feludar Goyendagiri Season 1 Download.

The long preamble could be summed up in a single line: The “Feluda” adaptations are critic-proof. Audiences are going to watch these movies and TV shows, and irrespective of whether they like this version of this adaptation or not, they will still watch the next one. Because those texts are almost sacrosanct and will always elicit at least a mild form of curiosity from anyone. Srijit Mukherji adheres to the first aspect of the letter, as his “Feluda” adaptations – 2020’s “Feluda Pherot” Season 1 and now 2022’s “Feludar Goyendagiri” (or “The Feluda Files”) Season 1 – are almost slavishly faithful adaptations of the short stories on which the entire season is based.

The second aspect is followed by me and even the most cynical of viewers who have grown up reading the Feluda novels or watched the two Satyajit Ray-directed adaptations (“The Golden Fortress” AKA Sonar Kella and “The Elephant God” AKA Jay Baba Felunath).Having viewers irrespective of criticism doesn’t take away from the critical aspect. The almost unparalleled reverence and love Bengalis have for Darjeeling, the hill station, stopped becoming novel almost a decade ago.
