Reviews
Poorna Banerjee of The Times of India wrote “Just like Hatyapuri, the modernisation of Feluda doesn’t go much beyond cell phone upgrades, it seems, and that is perhaps the weakness of the plot. But the film is well-shot and the narrative is fast, especially in the first half. Despite the weaknesses in the script as well as sub-par editing (especially in the second half), Nayan Rahasya is a nice, family-friendly adventure, thanks to good performances”[13]. Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph wrote “What works in favour of Nayan Rahasya is the fact that Sandip Ray leans on showing more of Feluda’s sleuthing skills than putting him in action scenes, unlike in his earlier films. A few tweaks to the characterisation helps. Feluda now uses a mobile phone and Jatayu’s iconic Ambassador has been replaced by a hatchback but in the original green[14]“.
