Synopsis
Calcutta, 1943, with a Japanese invasion looming and secrets piling up in the back alleys. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015) is an Indian noir mystery you can watch online on iFILM. Fresh out of college, Byomkesh takes on his first real case at the request of aspiring writer Ajit, whose chemist father vanished nearly a month ago.
The deeper the young sleuth digs, the less it looks like an ordinary disappearance. A single missing man leads to opium traders, foreign agents and a conspiracy that could tear the wartime city apart. For the first time Byomkesh isn't sure he can crack it — every new clue rewrites what he thought he knew.
Directed by Dibakar Banerjee and starring the late Sushant Singh Rajput, this is no song-and-dance whodunit but a moody, stylish thriller soaked in jazz, monsoon rain and 1940s Calcutta. One for fans of detective stories with atmosphere over spectacle. Stream Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015) online on iFILM.
