![]() The film finally premiered at the New York Indian Film Festival in 2017, and is being released theatrically today. Chatterjee then turned to crowdfunding (Wishberry) to realise his dream. However, it got stalled when the producer backed out. Feluda turned 50 in 2017 and Chatterjee had begun the film several years back. The film is both a tribute to the fictional character Feluda and his ‘family’, and its creator, Satyajit Ray. He has produced and directed this film which also marks his directorial debut. Sagnik Chatterjee struck upon making a film on the 50-year journey of Feluda. One could perhaps say that Feluda or Prodosh Mitter is a post-modern detective. Feluda is radically experimental in his eating habits. These are also travelogues with a twist of crime. What marks him out is his adventurous spirit that takes him and his readers from Kathmandu to Kailash, from Bombay (then) to Jailsalmer in Rajasthan with his nephew-cum-assistant Topshe and a successful writer of pop detective novels with the pen name Jatayu. Ray’s central character, Feluda, has a miraculous memory and is a keen observer of human behaviour down to the finest nuances that empowers him with the power of detection. He is also arrogant but is sociable. ![]()
