(Of course, Holmes had his Irene Adler вЂ“ вЂњto Sherlock Holmes she is always the womanвЂќ, as Watson writes in A Scandal in Bohemia вЂ“ and Poirot his Countess Vera Rossakoff, the jewel thief he was smitten with, but there is nothing by way of a conjugal life resembling ByomkeshвЂ™s.)ДЄLSO READ: THE MYSTERIOUS BHAWAL SANNYASI COURT CASE THAT INSPIRED SRIJIT MUKHERJIвЂ™S NEXTД®xperiencing an extraordinary resurgence on the screen in the past decade, Byomkesh is all set to woo audiences again in Arindam SilвЂ™s forthcoming film Byomkesh Gowtra. ItвЂ™s his chronicler Ajit who remains one all his life вЂ“ unlike Watson and Arthur Hastings. Unlike Holmes and Poirot, who remained bachelors, Byomkesh falls in love, is very much a family man and even has a son. Though Byomkesh and Ajit have often been called BengalвЂ™s answer to Holmes-Watson, the author himself made interventions that render such comparisons superfluous, the odd plot influences notwithstanding. If anything, Byomkesh Bakshi is in many ways unlike any other fictional private-eye, not only in India, but also internationally.ДЇor one, here is someone who introduces himself not as a sleuth but as вЂњsatyanweshiвЂќвЂ“ a seeker of truth. That reminded me of Satyajit Ray writing to Marie Seton, while shooting Chiriyakhana (1966), about wanting to make a thriller/whodunit with вЂњa total avoidance of occidental thriller clichГ©s вЂ¦ itвЂ™s certainly not one for the Bond addicts.вЂќ And just as well.

вЂњBakshi, Byomkesh Bakshi,вЂќ the detective introduces himself a la James Bond in Dibakar BanerjeeвЂ™s testosterone-charged 2015 re-creation of Saradindu BandopadhyayвЂ™s iconic detective.
