Eken Babu: Purulia-e Pakrao, directed by Joydeep Mukherjee and starring Anirban Chakrabarti as the beloved eccentric sleuth. In this instalment, Eken travels to a serene ashram in Purulia with his companions Bapi and Promotho, only to find himself entangled in a gripping case involving theft and murder.
As the mystery deepens, he uncovers a larger conspiracy centred on a legendary emerald, blending suspense with the series' own sense of humour.
Eken Babu: Purulia-e Pakrao follows the ever-curious detective as what begins as a peaceful cultural trip to Purulia quickly takes an unexpected turn. Hoping for a relaxing escape, Eken instead finds himself at a rigid ashram governed by strict rules, vegetarian discipline, and an air of secrecy.
When a theft and a murder shake up the peaceful atmosphere, he becomes embroiled in a complex investigation that uncovers a sinister medical conspiracy involving the legend of a priceless emerald. The Eken Babu series is based on stories by Sujan Dasgupta and centres on an unassuming detective whose brilliance lies beneath his ordinary demeanour. Despite his quirky habits and seemingly simple nature, Eken consistently relies on keen observation and sharp intellect to unravel complex mysteries, making him a uniquely endearing and effective sleuth.
Meanwhile, Anirban Chakrabarti stars as Ekendra Sen (Eken Babu), the quirky yet brilliant detective whose unassuming nature hides a sharp analytical mind, while Suhotra Mukhopadhyay plays Bapi, his loyal companion.
Somak Ghosh portrays Promotho, the practical and outspoken friend whose scepticism and wit add humour and balance, together forming a dynamic trio that blends comedy with clever crime-solving.
