'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy' poster launched in Kolkata

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,December 22 2014]

As a symbolic and fitting tribute to a World War II air-raid in the war-torn history of Calcutta (now Kolkata), director Dibakar Banerjee along with his lead actor, Sushant Singh Rajput, released the first look poster of the upcoming film, DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY! at the Great Eastern Hotel (now The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel).

Speaking at this launch conference amidst a packed media gathering in Kolkata, Dibakar said, "In late 1942 early 1943, Calcutta was the last frontier of the British Empire, holding out against the Japanese invasion of Asia. As Jap bombs were falling on Calcutta dockyard and around The Great Eastern Hotel, history was being created and Calcutta stepped on to the world stage. It's right here that Byomkesh's first adventure catapulted him from anonymity to dangerous fame. I can't imagine a more fitting place to launch the first look of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! than this hotel - which right on this day in 1942, would be full of chaos and mayhem as bombs fell around it, right here - seventy years ago - with Byomkesh probably on the hunt for a murderer not far away!"

DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY! is based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's well-known and successful fictional detective, Byomkesh Bakshy and is a contemporary interpretation of Calcutta during the 1940's. This first of its kind detective film is an adventure thriller mired in deep political intrigue. A young, astute and intelligent Byomkesh, fresh out of college, pits himself against a mega world villain, depending more on his intuition and instinct rather than concrete proof, to solve the case, sometimes overstepping the law if needed.

Yash Raj Films is proud to present a Dibakar Banerjee Film, DETECTIVE BYOMKESH BAKSHY! which releases worldwide on 10th APRIL 2015.
