Revolver Rahasya: A Unique Twist in the World of Sleuth Movies
In an industry saturated with polished and composed detectives possessing extraordinary intellect, Revolver Rahasya breaks free from the norm. Brace yourself for a cultural shock as you witness a refreshing change in the form of a relatable protagonist - a regular guy next door. Unlike his impeccably dressed and stoic counterparts, this detective, named Subrata Sharma and brilliantly played by Suprobhat, wears his emotions on his sleeve, captivating audiences with his complete lack of control over them.
Following the tragic demise of his boss, Detective Danny Banerjee, portrayed by the talented Anjan Dutta, Subrata unexpectedly finds himself thrust into the role of office leader. Unbeknownst to many, Danny's spirit lingers, acting as a spectral guide for Subrata. As the cases continue to pour in, Subrata navigates this newfound responsibility while coping with the presence of his ghostly mentor.
Amidst the chaos, Subrata is approached by Raja Banerjee, portrayed by Sujan Mukhrerjee, one of Danny's previous clients. Raja solicits Subrata's expertise to locate his wife, Tamali, played by the exceptional Tanushree Chakroborty, who has allegedly eloped with her lover, Javed Chowdhury.
Revolver Rahasya dares to differentiate itself by focusing on the relatable and flawed nature of its characters. Prepare to embark on a thrilling cinematic journey that challenges your expectations and provides a refreshing take on the world of sleuth movies.
Anjan Dutta's genius lies in his creation of the character Subrata Sharma, who is undeniably authentic. However, this may not sit well with Bengalis accustomed to watching confident sleuths like Byomkesh, Feluda, Shabar, Eken, and the latest addition, Sonada. Unlike previous actors portraying Bengali sleuths, Suprobhat faced the challenging task of convincingly playing a complete fool most of the time. Remarkably, he succeeds with grace, bringing to life a clumsy and emotionally-driven detective who is scarcely better at solving mysteries than the audience itself. The way he masterfully balances his expressions and body language is truly commendable.
One of the most captivating aspects of the film is the remarkable camaraderie between Subrata and Danny. Anjan Dutta's portrayal of Danny is nothing short of remarkable. He exudes a cool and confident demeanor, brimming with swagger, and his unwavering loyalty towards his assistant is truly heartwarming, even beyond the grave. However, there are moments when Tanusree's performance appears somewhat excessive, bordering on emotional outbursts or temperament-driven scenes. Nonetheless, Danny's character injects a much-needed sense of levity into the narrative, while also showcasing his astute problem-solving abilities as an unexpected heir. Sujan, too, impeccably embodies the enigmatic businessman who enlists Subrata's help in locating his missing wife. Pravatendu Mondal, the director of photography, skillfully utilizes the streets, alleys, and rainfall of Darjeeling without resorting to overly picturesque landscape shots, portraying them excellently. Neel Dutt's musical score effectively maintains the film's tempo, which occasionally slows down, anchoring it firmly on the right trajectory.
