Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language mystery action thriller film[5] directed and co-written by Dibakar Banerjee, and produced by Banerjee and Aditya Chopra.[6] The story is based on the fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshi created by the Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay.[7]

The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Anand Tiwari, Neeraj Kabi and Swastika Mukherjee. It was released on 3 April 2015 to positive reviews from critics; however, it was a commercial failure. A sequel with Rajput reprising his role was planned but after his death, the film was shelved.
