Mukherji's playwright days

[edit]

In April 2008, during his playwright times, Mukherji formed his own troupe, Pandora's Act, whose first production, Feluda Pherot! at Rangashankara in July 2008 was a runaway success. It was the first ever non-canonical dramatisation of Satyajit Ray's sleuth Feluda. Barun Chanda, Ray's leading man in Seemabodhho, and Parambrata Chatterjee, the screen Topshe and film youth icon, starred in this production.[3] Chanda was later cast in a supporting role in the 1st season of Feludar Goyendagiri.

Addatimes series

[edit]

In 2020, during the trailer launch event of the web series Feluda Pherot, Rajiv Mehra, the founder of Addatimes, said that, after bringing Parambrata Chatterjee's modern day adaptation of Feluda from Bioscope to Addatimes, he was skeptical about people's acceptance of the new avatar. While discussing the project of doing a new Feluda series, Srijit Mukherji showed his interest in directing it.[4][5]

The first season, based on the story Chinnamastar Abhishap, was released on Christmas 2020.[6][7] The trailer of the second season, Jawto Kando Kathmandute, was released simultaneously with the first season trailer and was also announced to arrive on Christmas 2020 but was later postponed to Christmas 2021 and then, was postponed indefinitely.[8]

Moved to Hoichoi

[edit]

In the Hoichoi season 5 catalogue, the platform hinted at bringing the series on their platform.[9] The formal announcement was made on 15 April 2022, in their new content catalogue. A special promo was released on 1 May 2022, celebrating Ray's birth anniversary.

Marketing and Release

[edit]

The series was announced as part of Hoichoi's new content catalogue on 15 April 2022, on the occasion of Bengali New Year.[10] A promo was launched on 1 May 2022, coinciding with Satyajit Ray's birthday.[11][12][13]

The official trailer was launched on 1 June 2022.[14][15] The series is set to stream from 17 June onwards.[16]

After the success of the film, Ghoshal fulfills his promise of adapting another Prokhor Rudra story on screen. However, instead of shooting in Karakoram where the story was set, the team starts shooting in Darjeeling. On Ghoshal's invitation, Feluda, Topshe and Lalmohan reach Darjeeling. The trio meet Birupakkho Majumdar, the man whose house would feature the indoor shots of the film, during a stroll in the Darjeeling Mall.

Feluda is all set to close the case but runs towards Siliguri when he gets to know about Birupakhkho's son's departure to Kolkata. He catches him and brings him back to the villa. Feluda rounds up all those with both motive and opportunity for murder and unmasks everyone one by one. Rajat Bose, Majumdar's secretary, was none other than Romen Brahmo, the son of a man who was accidentally killed by Majumdar in the past and later covered up the news. The treacherous Bengal Bank worker, V. Balaporia, was none other than the actor Rajen, who killed Majumdar so as to stop his dark past from getting unveiled. The Krishna statue was stolen by Samiran, who did so as to recover his losses from the stock market. At the end, Ghoshal announces Rajen's elimination from the film and also that he would be directing four new films next year. Feluda jokingly calls him "ABCD- Asia's Busiest Cinema Director".
