DETECTIVE trailer out 

Bollywood director Dibakar Bannerjee`s new movie `Detective Byomkesh Bakshy` trailer is out. The movie stars Sushant Singh Rajput. Set in the 1943 Calcutta, far more innocent than today, `Detective Byomkesh Bakshy` portrays the city as it was in the middle of the Second World War and in the throes of political turmoil. Sushant Singh Rajput reprises the famous character of the novel by the same name and does it exceedingly well. He captures the nuances of the character quite perfectly and brings life to it. Being launched on his birthday, April 3, this movie could well be a milestone in his Bollywood career. The teaser gave a brief but tantalizing montage of blood-spattered streets, a mystery woman and the most fleeting of glimpses of a dhoti-clad sleuth. Now, in the first proper trailer of the film, Sushant Singh Rajput stalks the bylanes of colonial Calcutta as Byomkesh Bakshy, detective. He`s investigating his first case - it could turn out to be his last. As the fictional Byomkesh, Sushant is called upon to help find a man who`s disappeared - and who the detective insists has been murdered. Bengali star Swastika Mukherjee plays a red-lipped seductress in what could be her Bollywood breakthrough. She smokes, dives into the Hooghly, and sashays through 1943`s Calcutta in the sinister wake of the Green Gang, Shanghai`s dreaded crime syndicate. The film is the latest in a series of cinematic renditions of Bengali author Sharadindu Bandopadhyay`s detective series - the last film in a Bengali trilogy just released and Byomkesh also appears in a Bengali TV series.
