It was a deftly-made film, with crisp editing and good acting all around. A shift from the wholesome young-adult charm of Feluda and even Byomkesh (barring a story or two), the film dealt with an adult theme without resorting to unnecessary voyeurism or attempt at titillation. With a plot that threaded together extra-marital affairs and sordid characters with elan, it was sort of a coming of age of the Bengali detective. “Ebar Shabor” was a fine film directed by Arindam Sil. “Ebar Shabor”, released in 2015, directed by Arindam Sil, was the movie which introduced me to this tough, yet compassionate fighter of crime. An ordinary-looking man with an extraordinary gift for deduction, Shabor is not only adept at identifying the streaks of grey and black that lurk behind people who are otherwise ‘normal’, but he often empathises with these dark traits, making him vulnerably human. Shabor Dasgupta, the fictional inspector created by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, is a name I got acquainted with only recently.
