What Makes Feluda Eternal?
Although Feluda might not be the lad next door as investigators are rarely that. The character was never intended to be perfect which somehow ends up making it perfect. Feluda is seen making mistakes, delaying things, losing his temper and doing every other human behaviour- but still ends up being the hero.
Besides the character himself, there are many things which make the whole concept eternal. People love how mysteries are solved in an old-fashioned way where clues are not digital but old diaries, hidden notes, etc. Being armed with intelligence, Feluda gives chills with his every move made with intellectualism.
There is trivia, not lessons alongside the story and the people which adds spice to the storyline. Apart from the illustration, the comfort of continuity is what keeps the audience going and yearning for more. When you want to watch something interesting, Feluda is worth a try.
