Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! - 2015 - 7/10

1943 Calcutta, Bakshy is hired to find a missing father.
Instead, he finds WWII intrigue (rising Japan, British rule), drug smuggling, gang battles.
The plot is more convoluted than a Chandler hangover.
Sushant Singh Rajput excellent as the quick thinking detective, often too quick for his own good.
Great villains, obvious and disguised, as well as the English governor watching over his shoulder.
Femme fatales? Of course, especially the bewitching songbird, Anguri.
Highly entertaining Hindi Noir, underappreciated in India, perhaps owing to the grim tone.
