    • Trivia
      The film was initially meant to be directed by one of Satyajit Ray's assistant directors, who asked Ray to direct the first couple of days to get things started and then asked him to direct the whole thing as he didn't feel up to the task. Ray reluctantly agreed, as he was having trouble funding Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (1969), but felt he lacked preparation and didn't connect with the subject matter, later referring to the finished work as his "most unsatisfying film".

    The combination of a great actor and a great director
    In this film, we find Uttam Kumar in a special character. This type of character is an exception or his romantic film image. His performance is excellent, or superb. On the other hand , it may not be one of the greatest of Satyajit Ray, but certainly a very good entertaining one, especially for those who likes mystery. The new ideas of Ray,the treatments , the scenario, the dialogues are excellent. The way in which the detective analyses the situation, carries out his action plan and at last catches the criminal is rarely found in Bengali movies. Also credit goes to the handsome Bengali hero with the great personality. The film is a milestone of Uttam Kumar's film career as he won Bharat Award for this film(and also for the film "Antony Firingee"). Uttam Kumar is the first hero in India who won this award, as far as I know.
