Feluda, the iconic Bengali detective created by the legendary Satyajit Ray, is more than just a character — he is a symbol of intellectual sharpness, integrity, and unrelenting curiosity. Through countless stories, films, and television adaptations, Feluda has become a cultural touchstone for Bengali audiences across generations. His adventures, marked by intricate plots and brilliant deductions, have cemented him as an enduring literary and cinematic icon. 

 

This thought-provoking conversation will explore Feluda’s timeless appeal, his impact on Bengali culture, and the ways in which he has evolved over time. Sandip Ray, the son of Satyajit Ray and the filmmaker behind several Feluda adaptations, joins Sabyasachi Chakraborty, the actor who brought Feluda to life in the most memorable on-screen portrayal, and Indraneil Sengupta, a contemporary actor with insights into the Feluda legacy. Together, they will reflect on the journey of this beloved character, sharing stories and discussing his significance both within the realm of Bengali literature and beyond. 

 

Moderated by Pinaki De, a respected voice in Bengali media, this conversation promises a deep dive into the world of Feluda, shedding light on how the character has transcended generations and remains as relevant as ever in the hearts of fans. 

This talk will be followed by a book release of Satyajit Ray’s Feluda in the Golden Fortress published by Penguin
