Bombaiyer Bombete

The story unfolds in a contemporary urban setting, reflecting modern filmmaking and city life. The action moves through airports, beaches, train compartments, and film studios, suggesting a present-day timeframe. The plot relies on current urban crime dynamics rather than a specific historical era.

Set primarily in Mumbai (Bombay) during a film shoot, the story also travels to Kolkata (Garpar Road) where Jatayu's old friend Pulak Ghoshal lives. The plot threads touch Nepal through the stolen Nana Sahib necklace and span a Mumbai beach, a multistory building, and a tense train sequence. A Shivaji Castle-like residence in Mumbai is revealed to be the real home of the villain Gorey, tying fiction to reality.

🕵️ Mystery

Intrigue arises as a parcel swap triggers a chain of mysterious events and a deadly chase through Mumbai’s streets and film sets. The mystery hinges on hidden identities, disguises, and the question of who can be trusted. The trio’s investigative instincts—observation, deduction, and courage—drive the unraveling of the crime. The tension between fiction and reality heightens as clues echo themes from Bombaiyer Bombete.

💼 Crime & Smuggling

Criminal networks exploit the film industry as a cover for smuggling. The Nana Sahib necklace becomes the focal point linking Nepal and Mumbai crime. Sanyal/Gorey’s apparent persona hides a real-world mafia, and the plan unravels under Feluda's scrutiny.
