Feluda's a typical storybook detective, with some shrewd instincts and a pair of helpful sidekicks. It's not a bad mystery, but it isn't terribly satisfying either. It also could have easily lost about 20 minutes. But it's interesting to see Ray break away from his usual melodrama, and he handles it fairly well. Also the film is shot better than a lot of his other color films, and he makes some nice use of architecture during a chase scene.
