'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy' first poster to be hand painted
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,December 19 2014]
There was a time when Bollywood films had their posters painstakingly painted by artists. And looks like time is set clicking backwards with this forthcoming project.... Director Dibakar Banerjee is set to mark history with his upcoming film 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy'. The film which is on the cult detective character set in 1943 will have its first poster launch in Calcutta on 20th December.
For the records, on 20th December, 1943, Japan had done an aerial bomb attack on Calcutta right on The Great Eastern Hotel. Japan was then on an aerial attack spree and found Calcutta at a disadvantage, making it a easy target. And the film's poster has captured this subtly.
While the very interesting poster will have a glimpse of Sushant as the detective it will also have the elements of the Japanese attack. To add to this the makers have even kept the poster to suit the era. They would have a hand painted poster, which has been done by artists from Calcutta. Khoob Bhaalo! Really interesting idea, we say!!
