CHIRIYAKHANA !!!

‘Bhalobasar tumi ki jaano?’ G.K. Production produced a Bengali film on Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay’s novel, ‘Bishabrikkha’ in 1958. Hello! Amar naam Byomkesh Bakshi! Apni kato number chaichen bolun na? Na! Na! Wrong Number! Bichitra jeeb ei saap. Merudandaheen apobaad ta ar jakei dao, saap ke deowa chole na. Byomkesh named the baby python as Basuki. The bachelor detective was of the opinion that true love didn’t exist at all. Without jealousy, suspicion and treachery; any romantic novel is incomplete. In every drama of William Shakespeare, there is a murder case. ‘Hamlet’ er seshe kota dead body? Even in Rabindranath Tagore’s novels, illegal sexual relationships are very common. Someone knocked the door! Dugga! Dugga! Eso baba Mokkel!

The old man gave a rose to Mr. Bakshi. With my Compliments! Baah! Thank you! The 57 years old Ex-Judge suffered from a mild heart attack at the age of 47 years and then retired. The Ex-Judge used to repent for taking some harsh decisions against some criminals in his professional life. Nishanath Sen invited them to have a visit of his place. Taah apni toh bachelor! Tahole ami boli ki, kaal ee chole asun. Ajit Chakraborty’s wife went to Ghatshila. That’s why; Ajit had no problem to visit that place with Byomkesh. Every day, at 8.35 AM, there was a train from Sealdah Station to reach that spot and it used to take around 1 hour to reach that place from Sealdah. Byomkesh and Ajit fixed an appointment with Ramen Mullick of Beleghata, the encyclopaedia of Bengali films through Indu, the script -writer cum screenplay director.

Abhinetrir naam chilo ‘Sunayana’! Murari was the son of Dutta family. Dutta family had a famous jewellery business in the name of ‘Dutta Das & Company’. Murari fell in love with that actress. A warrant was issued against that actress as she was present inside the room with Murari when Murari was stabbed on that night. Rs. 20,000/- and some jewels were stolen from the secret vault of that room. Sunayana had such a great sex appeal that almost everyone used to fall in love with her. But, Sunayna had some problems in her married life with her husband regarding her professional life and filmy affairs.

The Japanese Horticulturist, Okakura visited Golap Colony along with a Bengali Translator who can translate Bengali into Japanese and vice-versa. Rashiklal received them at the Mohanpur Station. Salaam Karta! Uni bujhi China Man? Naa Japan! Oh! Ek kathai hoilo. Colony bhalo chole na? Cholbe na ken! Chole Chole! Ekta katha ase na! Laabher gur peepraye khaye. Muskil Miyan took them to the Golap Colony in his Horse Cart (Ekka Gaadi). Was Okakura too smart to click the photos of all characters in that colony? Bijoy was the nephew of Mr. Sen and Nishanath’s wife was Damayanti. Mushkil Miyan married for 2^nd time and his 2^nd wife’s name was Najar Bibi. Mushkil Miyan lost his driving license after doing an accident due to rash driving.

Brajadas, the servant of Ex-Judge went to jail for stealing money. Lal Singh was sentenced to death by the then Judge. But, after the appeal in High Court, Lal Singh was sentenced for 14 years only. The Punjabi woman started staying with another person as her husband was in jail. Kamon acho, Panu? Panugopal was slightly deaf and dumb. Rashiklal used to look after the dairy production of that colony. Professor Nepal Gupta, the childhood friend of Nishanath was a Chemistry Professor who got dismissed from his job for trying to prepare a chemical bomb.

Bijoy promised to marry Mukul, the daughter of Nepal, but, later on, fell in love with Banalaxmi. Banalaxmi fell in love with a man in her village and then got sold in a red light area of Kolkata. She ran away from there to become the Sewing-In-Charge of Golap Colony. Dr. Das was the resident physician and used to play sitar. Basically, Dr. Das lost his medical registration after getting caught red-handed for some illegal abortion cases. After an interval of 15 or 20 days, someone used to throw the motor parts through the window of Nishanath Babu.

Accha! Oi ‘Bishabrikkha’ er print ta ache ekhono? On that night, Panu was sitting at the Pond Ghat with his pet dog and smoking beedis. Raat hoye gache, suye parh. Bijoy went to Banalaxmi’s room! Najar Bibi was on a night walk! The man wearing a turban entered inside the colony by crossing the small barricade made of bricks. At 10 PM, Damayanti went out of the room to put Rs. 500/- in a hanging flower pot. Hello! Ke! Mr. Bakshi? Amar mone hoy apnaake abar ekbaar amar ekhane aaste hobe. Bhalo kore son toh! Sunte pacchish kichu? Haan! ‘Malkosh’!

Inspector Barat gave the information about a murder. The investigation started. It was just a case of simple burglary! Mr. Byomkesh didn’t agree with Inspector Barat’s viewpoint. As per Nishanath’s will, his property would be equally divided among Damayanti and Bijoy. Mr. Sen got married in 1954 at Lucknow. Ekhane beedi ke khaye? Salaam Karta ra...lokta baro saada chilo. Raatre ghumoyo kakhon, Muskil Miyan? Aggye ami! Time toh dekhina, ghumai. Tobe ki jaanen, amar ghum ta ektu beshi, paani teh maatra dile, ar gyaan thake na.

As per Dr. Das’s views, doing abortion was illegal in the eyes of laws but not in the eyes of humanity because humans cannot always control its natural internal desires or basic instincts. Music and Medicine; very rare combination! Einstein o behala bajaten. Janen toh! Apnaar combination ki Music and Criminology? Sherlock Holmes o behala bajaten. Ami bajai abosya. Gramophone! They went to 54/1, Dharmatala Street, Shri Ganesh Films to watch the video of that special song. ‘Bujhechen Ajit Babu! Bhalo gaan, bhalo chobi, bhalo maal ar bhalo..****.. ei charte byapare ami karponyo korini kakkhono.’ Kirokom? Baah! Roye galo!

Panugopal was writing a letter but his letter remained incomplete. Sei din ee bhojha uchit chilo jeh cheleti kichu ekta dekheche. Dekha maanei evidence ar evidence maanei or jibon bipanna. Who used to blackmail Nishanath and why? The detailed interrogation started. After the interrogation, the case looked more complex for the Detective and his Assistant. Both of them were analyzing everyone’s statements which were recorded in a tape recorder. Kolkata e kothay thakten? Baasa chilo na. Hooghly er lok ‘Baari’ bolbe, ‘Ghar’ bolbe, kintu ‘Baasaa’ bolbe na. ‘Baasaa’ bolbe purba bonger lok. But, why the photo of that actress was not matching with her photo?  Yeh ak baro ascharya byapar bhai, tumi ghore nei, athacho tape e teh tomar golaar awaaz royeche. Giye report karlo jeh Byomkesh Babu ghore royeche. Why Byomkesh became so happy on Ajit? Bravo! Ajit! Bravo! Saala! Motive! Motive taa ki? Byomkesh got a hint after looking at a rose flower made of plastic.

A Kabuliwala followed an Englishman! The man collided with the other man to steal the door-key. Rosy! Rosy! But, Rosy didn’t utter a single word. Beautiful women always help the Detectives to solve any case, you see! What did the Detective recover from the house at No.9, Master Lane? Did the actress have any abortion to avoid any scandal? Who was the murderer of the two persons in the Golap Colony of Mohanpur? Saadhe ki Sunayana ki chinte paarini!  Who was the ‘Sunayana’ of the “CHIRIYAKHANA”?
