The Bengali film Shri Swapnakumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole was released in theaters in January 2024 and garnered praise from both critics and audiences. Directed by Debaloy Chatterjee, known for his previous works such as “Indubala Bhaater Hotel,” “Montu Pilot,” and “Dracula Sir,” the movie is now set to be released on an OTT platform this summer. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic pulp fiction detective tales penned by writer Swapan Kumar, the film will be available to stream on Hoichoi.
The movie “Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole ” will start streaming on Hoichoi on April 12, 2024. It features both a teaser and trailer and a log line that provides entertaining insights into the upcoming meta journey without giving away any significant plot twists or climaxes. This film is a delightful blend of detective fiction, meta-theatrical comedy, pop culture, and social satire, catering to many viewers. The layered and interconnected odyssey of Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole delves into the life of Swapan Kumar, a renowned Bengali pulp fiction writer from the past, and his creation, Dipak Chatterjee. Once a brilliant and eccentric detective, Dipak has now transformed into a disgruntled and exasperated security guard.
In this captivating exploration of the bond between the author and his work, the creator and the creation, and God and humanity, we witness a disgruntled Dipak challenging and mocking his maker for the absurd characteristics that have made him a subject of ridicule among contemporary Bengalis. Reflecting on the allure and excitement of bygone Bengal as well as the present-day, modernized “bongs” who lack an appreciation for nostalgia and romance, the movie presents an unconventional approach to crime thrillers. As Dipak Chatterjee is reluctantly pulled out of retirement by his creator to track down the dangerous terrorist organization, Badami Hyena, and protect the city, Swapan Kumar grapples with his own inner struggles. Offering a profound existential and realistic perspective on life infused with a glimmer of hope, “Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole ” is a must-see for aficionados of sophisticated and intelligent cinema.
