As obvious of Shirshendu's works, the novels consists of a
conglomeration of weird characters, human and others, all weaved into
adventures that will bring smile to the faces. Fun and frolick galore,
all the adventures underlines pleasant messages that freshens the heart
and appeases the soul. I'd already commented on
Gourer Kaboch in
an earlier post so won't go into any detail. Infact all the novels
contains the same proportion of adventure and mystery combined with
laughter and humour that makes these a treasure item. Especially I must
mention
Patalghar that I'd watched but I'll say that the story surpasses the film version by miles. Personally I feel
Harano Kakatua to be a bit stretched but all the others had been just too good.
Golmaal can be considered as a sequel to
Bhuture Ghori. The next
Chakrapurer Chakkare is a wonderful anecdote of a young man coming to terms with his heritage while
Chhayamoe complements this storyline. The next
Sonar Medal reunites an estranged pair. A quest for secret treasure is the central plot is
Haripurer Harek Kando and the same quest continues but culminates in the classic sacrifice in
Dudhsayarer Dweep. But the best climax is of
Bipinbabur Bipod that along with the preceding story seems to be ideal short story in the volume.
