Nayan Rahasya" is a singularly bad movie that fails on almost every level. It's disheartening to see this level of trash produced under the guise of honoring the legendary Satyajit Ray. The film attempts to evoke the spirit of Ray's storytelling but falls woefully short, offering a muddled plot and lackluster direction that would make Ray turn in his grave.
The basic plot, which might have held some promise in a different context, collapses in the modern hotel setting chosen by the director. The narrative logic is compromised, making the story incoherent and unconvincing, leaving the audience confused and dissatisfied. The director's decision not to adapt the film appropriately to fit its contemporary setting is a glaring oversight. Instead of creatively reimagining Ray's original vision to suit modern sensibilities, the film lazily transposes an outdated plot into a setting where it simply does not belong-this lack of adaptation results in numerous plot holes and a pervasive sense of disjointedness throughout the film.
And don't even get me started on the casting....
In essence, "Nayan Rahasya" is a disappointment on nearly all fronts. It's a misguided attempt to cash in on the legacy of Satyajit Ray. If you're considering watching this movie, I urge you to reconsider. Please save your money or, better yet, donate it to a good cause where it can do some actual good.
