Byomkesh Bakshi – Gripping!

Nipon Haque 5 comments

My initial delight at the news of the ressurection of the Byomkesh franchise, decades after Satyajit Ray’s Chiriakhana, was soon fraught with scepticism, for old school detective stories were by no means considered Anjan Dutt’s forte, and it remained to be seen to what effect the self-styled director, known for his comfy factor with themes like Anglo-Indian community or rock music, could revive Byomkesh!

The mornings are the worst. The moment you gain consciousness, it all comes flooding back to you. That you are no longer loved. And you immediately sink into such sadness that you lay back in bed, pull the covers up higher, close your eyes tight shut and try to fall asleep again. Because the few [...]

Like the other quarterfinals of this World Cup, the Spain – Paraguay clash was in no way short of drama! With both teams unable to convert opportunities into goals, things turned interesting in the 57th minute when Cardozo was pulled down by Pique. What a relief it was for the Spanish when Casillas found Cardozo’s [...]
