Always delighted for the continuous plight to keep Felu Mittir alive and tuned with a Bengali mind.
However, always will miss the phenomenon Feluda; which will be always an un-conquerable quest, marked by the Satyajit Ray.
Where present Feluda lags?
- The loud and visible confidence of the present day Feluda portrayers. It must be kept in mind, that a deep-everlasting impact of Feluda as a cinema character was manifested years ago by the legend. Which is irreplaceable.
What we have liked so much of Felu Mittir? - His will power to conquer all odds, with a very soft approach. He never shouts, always thoughtful and composed. He is witty, but seldom laughs by his own wit. He acknowledges the strengths of his opponents, and re-compose himself to challenge the same. Most importantly, his plight to defeat his enemies by his brains, un-masking them; and importantly not by physical strength. "Shirter tolay 16" - he acknowledged, he is not so strong physical. Without a pinch of hurting his own self-esteem. But, after Joy Baba Felunath; Feluda changed and these remarkable characteristics. Which was un-matched.
Hence, it would be a delighted to see some portrayer would come again displaying the same characteristics to us.
Until, then these magnificent efforts to keep this character alive will remain an effort and would be a challenge to reach anywhere near to that milestone.
- All this is my individual thinking, for all Feluda movies post Mr. Satyajit Ray's creation.
