In the tempestuous throes of Calcutta, 1943, where the echoes of the Second World War resonate through the cobblestone streets, emerges India's first authentic detective - Byomkesh Bakshy. This cinematic mystery, based on the early exploits of the iconic character penned by the legendary Bengali writer Saradindu Bandyopadhyay and brought to life by director Dibakar Banerjee, plunges us into the swirling vortex of a city torn apart by conflict and treachery.
