The thrill and suspense of upcoming period film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! has been teleported to mobile phones with the launch of the game Detective Byomkesh Bakshy by Games2win (G2W), a global mobile games company.
The game, launched with Yash Raj Films Licensing (YRFL), the licensing division of Yash Raj Films (YRF), is based on the film, which features Sushant Singh Rajput. Currently, the game is available on the Google Play Store.
“We are delighted to have made a fantastic game inspired by the legendary IP of Byomkesh Bakshy. The game play of being a detective and solving almost real life criminal cases is the magical proposition of this game,” said Games2Win CEO Alok Kejriwal.
“We hope fans of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! experience and enjoy the thrill of their favourite character while playing this game,” said YRF VP of licensing Rohit Sobti.
The game is to search for hidden objects along with a very animated looking Sushant Singh Rajput as seen in the artwork. The game also has the look and feel of Calcutta (now Kolkata) from the 1940s.
On completing all the levels, a ‘Detective Certificate’ will be awarded to the players, who can flaunt it on social media.
The movie, directed by Dibakar Banerjee, is based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay’s fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshy. It is slated to release on 3 April.
