This is the second film about the detective Feluda (Soumitra Chatterjee) set in the holy city of Benares, where he (along with his cousin, Topshe and friend, Lalmohan Ganguly) goes for a holiday. But the theft of a priceless deity of Lord Ganesh (the Elephant God) from a local household forces him to start investigation... (imdb)

Rather a waste of some extraordinary artistic ability--both Ray's and Soumitra Chatterjee's. It's like Bengali Agatha Christie-lite...very light. Enjoyable enough fluff.

Estreava há 45 anos na Índia. Ray tinha uma carreira literária paralela para além de ser o mais icônico cineasta indiano da história, ele criou Falada, a versão indiana de Sherlock Holmes e que foi revitalizado por seu filho a partir dos anos 90. Esse é o segundo e último filme em que Ray adapta Falada e dá pra ver que se comparado às inúmeras obras-primas do diretor este acaba sendo um filme menor, mas ainda dá pra encontrar certo charme e revisitar a cultura Indiana nunca é demais. MKO.

Feluda's a typical storybook detective, with some shrewd instincts and a pair of helpful sidekicks. It's not a bad mystery, but it isn't terribly satisfying either. It also could have easily lost about 20 minutes. But it's interesting to see Ray break away from his usual melodrama, and he handles it fairly well. Also the film is shot better than a lot of his other color films, and he makes some nice use of architecture during a chase scene.
