One of the world’s greatest literary sleuths, Sherlock Holmes, is Indianised, or more precisely put, converted into a Bengali detective in Aniruddha Guha and Srijit Mukherji’s series, 'Shekhar Home'. Opening in 1991, Shekhar/Snehashish (Kay Kay Menon) is introduced as a professor at the Calcutta Medical College. A ‘deduction specialist’ and a forensic expert, he inherits all the narcissism of Sherlock. His brother, the ‘Mycroft Holmes’ figure, is Mrinmoy (Kaushik Sen), who works at the intelligence bureau. On his insistence, Shekhar starts inspecting a chain of deaths. Three scientists, who worked in separate departments at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Defence Research, are found dead. Realisation that the deaths have been staged and foul play covered up arrives swiftly.
