Are you a fan of detective thrillers? Here is a recommendation for the weekend. ‘Samrat & Co’ came out in 2014 and is inspired somehow from Sherlock Holmes. The movie did not do a very good business at the box office or else there could have been a series of films on Detective Samrat.
Samrat & Co tells the story of Dimpy, the daughter of a businessman, who hires a private detective named Samrat to investigate the strange happenings in her house. Meanwhile her father gets murdered and now Samrat searches for the culprit.
Samrat & Co is directed by Kaushik Ghatak and the screenplay is written by him with Manish Srivastav. Sanjay Malwankar has handled the cinematography and the music is composed by Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon. The movie has some beautiful songs as well.
The movie has Rajeev Khandelwal in the titular role and has actors like Madalsa Sharma Chakraborty, Gopal Datt, Girish Karnad, Indranil Sengupta, Barkha Sengupta and many others. The performances are quite impressive and the supporting cast does well too. The two hour five minutes movie will give you pure thrill and entertainment. Rajeev Khandelwal in mystery thrillers is a real treat for the audiences.
There are not many good detective thrillers in India. It is a lack we can not just accept. We Need to start appreciating the ones we have. Samrat & Co is an underrated movie and deserves all praise and appreciation. Watch it with your friends and family this weekend. It is available to watch on Zee5.
