It's a relief to see the makers' understanding of the OTT medium - they did not just present the story as they would on the big screen. Crisply written and edited, it has no prolonged dramatic or action sequences, unnecessary fiery dialogues, outlandish costumes or songs. Nor are their directorial comments amounting to gyaan on the socio-political situation of the times like in some of the recent Byomkesh films.

But Anirban Bhattacharya, a talented and established theatre actor himself, has not allowed these factors colour his performance. He steers clear of falling prey to theatrical tropes and brings to the character equal measures of intelligence and daredevilry.

All said and done, Byomkesh is a series I would surely be keeping an eye out for.

I set out for this movie with little hope, but once it started the sweet romantic music and astounding sceneries of Ireland began to creep inside me pointing my heart that it can be a good movie. And so it was. Not a conventional love story. But this one struck me to the core of my heart. There cannot be a guy who cannot fall in love with Ondine after seeing this movie. Collin Farell as the fisherman and Alison Barry as the daughter keeps the pace and comedy up , and still its Ondine all the way. Guys don't miss this one for the world as it can bring many memories back of what real love can be that we often forget in this materialistic world.
