About The Elephant God
Set in the holy city of Benares, this is the second film about the detective Feluda, who goes on a holiday with his cousin, Topshe, and his friend, Lalmohan Ganguly. But the theft of a priceless deity of Lord Ganesh (the Elephant God) from a local household forces him to investigate.
Directed by Satyajit Ray, The Elephant God leans on a strong ensemble — Soumitra Chatterjee, Siddhartha Chatterjee, Santosh Dutta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1979.
