Good things take time, someone said. It took four years for Anurag Basu's 'Jagga Jasoos' to hit the screens. The film was conceptualised around 2013, filming began in 2014, it found a release in 2017. The ingenious filmmaker wrote an equally imaginative, impressive story about a stammering detective who's father has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The Tintin style narrative was mingled with Disney-esque style treatment. 

This was truly a film for children that had something for the grown-ups too. Just like 'Barfi', the frames of 'Jagga Jasoos' made eyes gleam and hearts swell. Basu described the world he created as the world of 'Magical realism'. 'Is it possible for this to happen?' met 'This has indeed happened.' Our hero, Jagga, stammers, and yodels while communicating. Everyone around him is either charmed or compelled to speak the way he does, the first one being his adoptive father, a superb Saswata Chatterjee, who imparts the most basic knowledge to Jagga in the most inventive ways.
