Well-made, absorbing detective story, starring a sleuth who is famous in India.

Classic Film and Television

A detective yarn, much like a Charlie Chan vehicle, is skillfully directed by India's legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Overall, Joi Baba Felunath is very enjoyable and well constructed. For Satyajit Ray fans, its a welcome sight to see him return to the banks of the Ganges---the same location so prominent in Aparajito.
