	Feluda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indeed Feluda typifies the middle class Bengali mindset's return to a somewhat eremite-type innocence by symbolizing a detective hero who is, somewhat like the Bengali middle class, a socially non-conformist and underpaid male youth, forever unemployed and perennially ineffectual in establishing any fruitful relationship with a lady.
		Feluda's adventures offer an interesting commentary on socio-ethical change, and the deep psychological and sociological transformation due to the student unrest and political upheavals in eastern India during the later half of the 20th century.
		Feluda became the son of the paternal uncle of Topshe.

		Feluda, whose real name was Pradosh Chander Mitter, was often accompanied in his exploits by his assistant Topshe (his cousin), and Lalmohan Ganguly, or Lalmohan Babu (alias Jatayu), a bumbling writer of crime fiction.
		A more recent film is "Bombaiyer Bombete" (released Dec 2003), which stars a new set of actors, Sabyasachi Chakraborty as Feluda, Paramabrata as Topshe and Bivu Bhattacharya as Jatayu; directed by Ray's son Sandip Ray (also a film-maker), this film continued in the box office in West Bengal and Calcutta for three months.

		Feluda is approached by a rich client whose blue briefcase gets swapped with a co-passenger’s on board the Kalka Mail.
		When Feluda reaches Simla with Topshe and Jatayu in tow, he realises that it is not only the briefcase that they’re after but also an invaluable travel manuscript that is missing from among its contents and a precious stone.

		Feluda’s trademark style of puffing away at a Charminar or his agility of action may carry shades of the cigar-smoking Holmes persona.
		Barring these stylistic similarities, Ray’s Feluda, alias Pradosh Mitter, is essentially a son of the soil, as desi as a carrot-chewing Karamchand or a Byomkesh Bakshi.
		Packed with action, from Feluda doing the disappearing act, only to resurface in the guise of a hippie, to a plane crash and the cracking of a coded message, this adventure has the trio zeroing in on the vandal who’s hell bent on making away with a piece of Ellora’s rich heritage.

	Review On Feluda Stories - Satyajit Ray by PrashD -- MouthShut.com
		Feluda, or Pradosh Mitter, starts out in Ray’s stories as an amateur sleuth who is forever looking out for more challenges and is in relentless pursuit of the truth.
		Feluda grows from an amateur, bit unsure sleuth, into a confident and sometimes cocksure private detective.
		Feluda is shown as a human character susceptible to mistakes yet very sharp in his instincts and one who has never failed to crack a case.

	Feluda
		Feluda is a Holmesian combination of mental and physical agility -- almost 6 feet tall, he is in fine shape due to his early-morning yoga -- and all his skills are called upon during the course of the story.
		Feluda's household arrangements are a little mysterious too -- there is an occasional mention of Topshe's father, who seems to live in the same house, but no other relatives seem to live there or run the household.
		Between 1965 and 1992, Ray wrote a total of thirty-five Feluda stories (in Bengali, his native language), featuring the master sleuth Pradosh C. Mitter, his assistant Topshe, and Lalmohan Babu (alias Jatayu), a bumbling writer of crime fiction.

		Feluda is my soul.It’s high time Bengalis realize the warmth, the charm, the ingeniuty Benagali books carry.
		Each and every line in the Feluda books sends a shiver down my spine, I experience a thrill which can’t be expressed in words.
		Feluda is “superfit chirotarun” quoting Jatayu in both mind and body.

	Divergent Rays : A Review by Susan Chacko of Two Books by Satyajit Ray [Parabaas Translation]
		Ideally, the locale should be deeply woven into the plot itself, and the Feluda stories certainly live up to this ideal, as when the burglar in Mystery at Golok Lodge counts on the daily loadshedding to cover his escape.
		From an adult perspective, one of the charms of the Feluda stories is the sly commentary sprinkled throughout, which undoubtedly reflect the author's opinions:
		Feluda's world is strange in one notable respect -- there are no women.

	Feluda
		Feluda whose real name was Pradosh C. Mitter was often accompanied in his exploits by his assistant Topshe, and Lalmohan Babu (alias Jatayu), a bumbling writer of crime fiction.
		Satyajit Ray wrote thirty-five Feluda stories of which most were extremely poplular among bengali children.

		This interest is also reflected in his stories, and Feluda often has to solve a puzzle to get to the bottom of a case.
		Even Feluda's friend Jotayu, the novel writer shares this interest, he insists on naming one of his novels "Vancouver-er Vampire" (The Vampire in Vancouver), regardless of Felu's objection that a city as modern as Vancouver is not a good setting for a horror story.
		The Feluda stories are narrated by Topse, his cousing, something of a Watson to Feluda's Sherlock.

		It was the detective's dear young cousin, Topshe, who grew up with Feluda and who accompanied Feluda to the forest of North Bengal, to Gangtok, Nepal and where not.

		Among over two-hundred novels and stories Ray had written especially for teenagers, the detective stories of Feluda are by far the most popular.
		With calculated amounts of wit, suspense, action and humor, the stories are considered classics of modern Bengali literature.
		Among the actors, Soumitra Chatterjee is quite good as Feluda, at least he was the best for this part in that time.

	Dipanjan's random muses
		After gobbling up Feluda’s latest adventure in exactly 85 minutes, with a finger carefully inserted into a page of the Feluda story just in case I needed to go back to the permitted area to avoid suspicion, my gate-crashing into the world of serious and mature fiction began.
		Topshe, the teenage narrator of Feluda stories, is a proxy for the young readers; but it is Feluda’s friendship with Jatayu that is the lifeblood of the series.
		It is the bridge that connects Feluda’s dry wit and a somewhat detached and cynical worldview with Jatayu’s quintessential Bengaliness - fears, prejudices and insecurities in a warm and loving heart.
