Anurag Basu’s musical adventure was an aberrant sleuth escapade that defied norms and normalcy. It was a staggering, stunning world of ‘Magical realism’, designed and described by Basu himself.

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.
