Is ‘Bidaay Byomkesh’ beginning of a new era?

After winning hearts as a young detective Byomkesh Bakshi in films such as ‘Byomkesh Bakshi’ (2015), ‘Abar Byomkesh’ (2004), ‘Byomkesh Phire Elo’ (2014), ‘Har Har Byomkesh’ (2015) and ‘Byomkesh Parbo’ (2016), Abir Chatterjee is all set to play the roles of both, a 70-year-old detective, and his grandson Satyaki in Debaloy Bhattacharya’s upcoming thriller ‘Bidaay Byomkesh’. The recently released gripping and thrilling teaser has already become a raging hit.

‘Bidaay Byomkesh’ is focusing on the famous sleuth’s personal journey through his past investigations. In the upcoming spin-off, Abir also essays out Satyaki Bose, the grandson of Byomkesh. Debaloy has originally introduced Satyaki’s character and it has no link to Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s literary works.

Many believe this film doesn’t mark the end of Byomkesh saga as young Satyaki marks a new beginning which continues his grandfather’s legacy. Still, the upcoming thriller’s narrative remains at the crux of the mystery.

Apart from Abir in the titular role, the Byomkesh spin-off also stars Sohini Sarkar, Joy Sengupta, Bidipta Chakraborty, Rahul Banerjee, Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee and Arindam Sil in pivotal roles.
