Description: **Durbin 2014 Full Movie in Bangla: Storyline**
Pupul, a twelve-year-old boy, is unlike his peers. Instead of focusing on studies or games, he is obsessed with solving mysteries. His friends, Tatai and Bhebli, share his enthusiasm for detective work and often assist him. Pupul fancies himself as “Captain Spark” (a nod to Joy Baba Felunath) and carries a toy pistol, dreaming of owning a durbin (binoculars) to become a true detective. When his uncle gifts him one on his birthday, Pupul’s life takes a dramatic turn. Through his new durbin, he witnesses a murder and takes it upon himself to catch the culprit.
The movie’s promotional campaign highlighted a unique feature: the on-screen collaboration of two iconic Bengali detectives, Feluda and Byomkesh, for the first time. However, director Swagato Chowdhury took creative liberties, placing the two not just in the same frame but as neighbors. The characters’ names and backgrounds were slightly altered: Prodosh Mishra (Feluda) teaches math to children and lives with his cousin Topshey, while Byomkesh Basu resides with his writer friend, Ajit. Their landlord, Lalmohan Babu, is a mystery novelist. The neighborhood also includes Bhanu Goenda, a detective turned caterer, as his sleuthing skills are no longer in demand.
Initially, these connections evoke nostalgia, offering a fresh tribute to beloved characters. However, the film struggles to maintain a balance between comedy and parody. The director’s ambitious attempt to reinvent these legends often misses the mark, making the storyline less engaging as it progresses.
