A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

五颗星给题材和原型，忽略主角光环和歌舞外挂。
印度的犯罪题材会跟社会性问题一起做，而不是做单独某个随机的犯罪行为，这点真的做得很好。
其实，所有角色设定都很脸谱化，好人恒好，恶人恒恶，被践踏的和被仰望的，开金手指的人权律师几乎战无不胜，仍然但是人生实在是太悲惨了，两个多小时就这么簌簌溜走
血淋淋地展示了底层人民的生存状况。没有土地，住不起砖房，拿着微薄的收入小心翼翼地生活，却仍然不知道何时天降横祸，随时会被警察污蔑犯罪。警察明知犯罪者是谁，可在受贿后闭口不言，随便抓人顶罪，不分青红皂白妄图屈打成招。昏迷过去直接向眼睛撒辣椒粉，为了撤销指控数次威胁家属，大街上把孩子抢走。甚至把人打死后还要污蔑他逃狱，暗地里却把尸体扔在荒野外。触目惊心的画面竟然是根据真实改编，让人窒息。而好的是这不是近年来的案件，并且还能被改编成电影上映，敢于承认且揭露真相，是伟大的举动。
三星半。看片的这天网络上传开了在金奈集中营被关了三个月的中国人故事，感叹一下金奈几十年过去了也还是够黑，比剧组找的泰米尔群演的皮肤还黑。真实案件改编，在改编和拍摄手法上基本遵循了旧有方式，仰拍男主、插入拍广告短片式的人物小传、黑警和对方律师都无脑无智、法院达到了明镜高悬的公正程度、延长和反复对酷刑的拍摄等，把双方的对立关系搞得很抓马，但我相信当时实际的维权之路绝不会是主人公完全占优的开挂模式，为贱民人权奔走绝不是一条通途。反而独立监察的警察老大是本片相对丰富的角色，他既要调查案情真相，又要有反思警察作为的决心，但是有点高开低走，可惜导演没有抓住这个人物的复杂立场表达更多内容，笔墨都给案件和男主了。吐槽一下南北印度片都好喜欢下雨，一下雨就等于和解。男主真·共产主义者，原型的面相特别慈悲。
下边都烂成这样了，上边还一脸惊愕。
精彩纷呈，无论是讽刺社会现状还是电影整体的视听语言，印度版熔炉，但比熔炉更加政治化
我们看到一样的罪恶，却不一定能得到一样的结果。世界永远需要有勇气的理想主义
尽管有诸多理想主义的爽文套路（比如坏人都蠢，好人一路顺利），但大概也是因为狱中逼供的场景已经足够给人留下心理阴影，权衡之下放弃了一部分真实的黑暗
电影是强大的武器，但重要的是我们通过使用它来保护谁......
杰伊比姆实则是一种为平等而斗争的精神。
#心电影2021_143#
不得不说越来越多的印度电影和电视剧出现在我们的视角里了，有些电影真的值得我们导演和编剧学习。
穿过层层乌云，终究看见一丝希望の曙光杰伊·比姆，值得被永远铭记的一个名字！
振聋发聩的真实事件改编，当执法者变成犯罪者，这起印度的“秋菊打官司”的绝望在仿佛完全不现实但却确确实实发生了的理想主义微光中获得了公正。不要因为它是印度电影就小看它，用眼睛去确认吧。
断断续续看完，印度真是歌舞的国度，一段黑暗的历史，拍的很励志的感觉
电影叙事非常清晰 剧作顺畅 每个人表演都在线 各方面的完成度高 这点也是不少国内大片不及的，尤其题材上值得中国电影人学习 希望咱们能拍出《黑水》《官方机密》《辩护人》《理查德朱维尔的哀歌》这样的电影。
好人和坏人泾渭分明……不过四星还是给比姆拉奥律师
3.5过于情节剧化，如果稍稍克制些可能会更好，但也许就不符合死了人都要跳个舞的气质了吧。
七年前我曾在印度旅行，行走贫民窟，感受溽热，垃圾味，还在孟买海边经历了一场盛大象神节。也许印度的历史太深厚沉重，使它如淤泥一般覆盖在今天，拨也拨不去，所以你很容易在表象的印度和真实的印度之间沉迷。宛如一颗宝珠捧在脏手里。我们在电影里常看到歌舞的印度，现代的印度，励志的印度，欢笑的印度，但那都不是真印度，可能大量的印度人自己都没机会坐在影院里看到这种印度，贫民窟工人一个月辛苦的收入仅相当于人民币一两百元，而我在他们高级商场里吃饭，并不奢侈的一顿饭也是人均一两百。这部电影就是替那些进不去商场的人说话的，所以它意义非凡，换一个词，它是自己拍摄的“辱印”的印度片，揭露警察体系的黑暗和种姓制度的不公。当年离开时我购买了一个甘地像，至今仍摆在我的书房。甘地具有一种精神，正是不屈的人性。
