Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

[abracanabra]

Pulplike, noirish, Bollywood-with-no-dancing, marvelously multicultural, set in beautifully detailed historical Calcutta, and 100% awesome!! A mad scientist, a supervillain, a femme fatale, an engaging detective, and a couple of truly wicked fight scenes.

See it on the big screen if you can; there's enough loving attention in the background details to reward it. It's currently playing in Eden Prairie and will probably disappear from theatres fast.
