Film maker shoots Feluda documentary in London

Director Sagnik Chatterjee, who's set to celebrate 50 years of Satyajit Ray's iconic sleuth with the docu, has more surprises in store. He recently shot in London, one of Ray's favourite places where he had also set a story from the series -London-e Feluda.
Said Sagnik, ���Ray had himself admitted that he had grown up reading Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. In London-e Feluda, the lovable sleuth said while reflecting on Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, "Guru tumi chhile bole amra achhi'.In fact, there are many similarities between the two detectives. While Holmes is known internationally , Feluda too is a national hero. Moriarty happens to be the biggest Holmes rival and back home, Maganlal Meghraj posed similar challenges to Feluda. Structurally too, there are many similarities between the two series, though somewhere I feel Feluda propagated anti-violence more than Holmes.���
Sagnik shot extensively on Baker Street and has come back with many stories. ���221 B Baker Street, Holmes' address, might have been fictitious, but they now have a museum there housing the detective's essentials. I almost felt that Holmes used to live there. It's sad that 21 Rajani Sen Road, where Feluda used to live, has remained just another address in Ray's stories. Even interiors of pubs on Baker Street are perfect settings of detective stories. In the docu I will make the Feluda illustration move through alleyways in London with the use of graphics,��� said the director.
Feluda, who first made an appearance in Sandesh in December 1965, will complete 50 in two months. The docu, meant to capture his journey , will launch its teaser around the same time.���Feludar Goendagiri came out in three parts spanning December 1965 to February 1966. We are planning to release the docu in February , next year, to mark his 50th year," he added.
