Vijaynagar’er Hirey follows Kakababu on a treasure hunt in Hampi
Vijaynagar’er Hirey is a Bengali adventure film starring Prosenjit Chatterjee as Kakababu, a limping sleuth.
He travels to Hampi with his nephew Shontu, where he is asked to search for a diamond called the Hen’s Egg.
The jewel is said to be a lost treasure of the Vijaynagara Empire.
Kakababu follows clues based on local history, architecture and folklore while facing an antique-trafficking group and other adversaries.
His former mentor is murdered, adding a search for the truth to the treasure hunt.
The film also stars Aaryan Bhowmik and Rajnandini Paul, and runs for one hour and 48 minutes.
The review praises Hampi’s setting and the mix of myth and history, but criticizes the slow pace, dated direction and uneven acting.
The film is available on Hoichoi and Jio Hotstar.
