Some reasons to love Chidiyakhana


1) the plot there's something very forthcoming about the story itself, something that comes at you breaking all aspects of time. This could've been today barring some of the technical stuff of register and tropes. The plot leaps at you 2) dialogues the opening scene is full of satire and foreboding brilliant you don't understand it until the plot's moved on 3) the setting it's just fantastical, the people who occupy chidiyakhana and their 'master' the judge who's preoccupied with the idea of retribution and is forced into a game of cat and mouse. And even as a lot of Feluda stories are concerned with judges keen on washing off guilt or possible mistakes, this one's absolutely bizarre.
