Hatyapuri (2022)

Pradosh C. Mitter AKA Feluda, Hatyapuri Topshe, and Lalmohan Ganguly go to Puri for vacation. One evening, the trio spot odd footprints on the sand. Later, Lalmohan goes to meet Lakshman, an astrologer who is presumably gifted with extrasensory perception. Soon they stumble upon Roopchand’s dead body lying on the beach. Feluda figures out the mystery and gathers everyone at Bhujanga Niwas and tells everyone that Bilas Majumdar is actually Animesh Kumar Sarkar, a smuggler by profession. Feluda tells them that the actual Bilas Majumdar had died three weeks ago in a hospital in Nepal. Why?

Disturbed by the heat and humidity of Calcutta in June, (combined with frequent electricity failures) the “Three Musketeers”, Pradosh C. Mitter (Feluda), Topshe, and Lalmohan Ganguly (Jatayu) go to Puri for vacation. There they stay in Neelachal Hotel, owned by Hatyapuri Lalmohan Babu’s landlord’s classmate, Shyamlal Barik. In the evening, while strolling on the beach, the trio spot odd footprints on the sand. Later, Lalmohan Babu goes to meet an astrologer, Laxman Bhattacharya, who is presumably gifted with extrasensory perception . Laxman lives in a building called “Sagarika” owned by an elusive man known as D. G. Sen. In the hotel, Shyamlal informs them that Sen’s main interest is in collecting manuscripts. Next morning, the trio go to a house named “Bhujanga Niwas”, which is near Sagarika. Inside the house, Lalmohan Babu finds Nisith’s corpse. He had been beaten to death by a blunt instrument. Feluda tells Topshe and Lalmohan Babu that tonight, they have to keep a vigil in front of Sagarika. In the night, after a thrilling climax, Feluda catches the culprits: Bilas Majumdar and Laxman Bhattacharya.
