"Rightly said Swastika. #DetectiveByomkeshBakshy was a masterpiece and #SushantSinghRajput was OUTSTANDING. So were you. Had watched the film when it had released and loved it. Being from Bengal the film has a special place in my heart. Wish it was appreciated then", another user added. Check out more tweets below.
