The Eken

Eken babu sleuths around a murder mystery in the misty slopes of Darjeeling along with Pramatha and Bapi. What could go wrong with a premise like this? Well this. The script could have been so much tighter, the characters could have been developed more before making them slide between the good-bad barrier. Some of the dialogs are stale and lack punch. I feel Somak and Suhotro are a waste in their roles. We all know from the Somak-Agni clips what magic Somak can weave with his acting...and those who have seen Gora know Suhotro's potential too. These two could have been given better dialogues and more involvement in the plot instead of just hanging around the protagonist saying lame and obvious things.

The storyline doesnt come together with a click the way it happens in good whodunnits. My rating of 6 is just because of Anirban Chakraborti's acting and presence. The fellow never ceases to entertain.
