Diljit Dosanjh's Detective Sherdil ending explained: How did Boman Irani's Pankaj Bhatti really die?
Detective Sherdil (available on Zee5 via OTTplay Premium), starring Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role, is all that people can talk about currently. The film, starring Diljit and Boman Irani in the lead roles (with actors like Diana Penty, Banita Sandhu, Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Pandey and Sumeet Vyas in pivotal roles), sees the latter die early on in the movie. What seems like an open-and-shut case is, in fact, much more than what meets the eye. The ending takes you back to Detective Sherdil's skills and how he (almost) solved the mystery the first time around, only to let time also play its role in unravelling the mystery. Diljith Dosanjh in Detective Sherdil PS: Major spoilers ahead. Enjoyed Diljit Dosanjh's Detective Sherdil? You can also stream Jatt & Juliet 3, Jodi, and Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne with an OTTplay Premium subscription Detective Sherdil spotted the unusual Back when he had started the investigation, Detective Sherdil kept stating, "Laal rang mein chupa laal rang." While not many understood what he was hinting at, it was revealed in the very last scene. This traces back to his first time in the house, when he had noticed an unusual red stain on a painting. This was Sherdil's first clue about what could have gone wrong. Slowly but surely, he lets the truth unfold with the actions of the suspects in the case. How did Detective Sherdil find out who really killed Pankaj Bhatti? Detective Sherdil pressured the suspects by putting them under house arrest. He observed their actions and reactions during the time. Slowly, he built the case and found out what exactly went down on the day of Pankaj Bhatti's murder. It all began with an explosion, but really, a lot happened way before. It started with Bhatti upsetting his greedy family with his changed will. Chunky Pandey's Bodhi Mama also gave out a huge hint by stating he heard a gunshot from the house. The scenario became clearer when Arjun Tanwar's Purvak started running from the family and went into hiding. He played snitch, and Bhatti confronting his family led to his demise by the most furious family member who hatched the plan in the first place. She is the least suspected member because of her 'beloved daughter' image, but was the prime example of Bhatti's saying, "Paisa rishton ko bighaad deta hai." Expecting a good share in the will, when she learned that her boyfriend Purvak was named highest in the will, Banita Sandhu's Shanti sought revenge. And she got it by killing her father in fury, while covering it up with the help of her wealthy family. The first clue unlocked the mystery The biggest clue that unlocked the mystery was Bhatti's driver also being killed. CCTV footage revealed him being taken away by a person in a hoodie. This was the first clue that a partner-in-crime was still in hiding. The way Purvak took on the murder blame upon him easily was the biggest hint that he was just being framed. That is where Sherdil understood that the partner-in-crime was indeed the helper of the house Falak (Kashmira Irani) who got involved in the murder and helped the wealthy family from outside. Her blaming Purvak simply confirmed his suspicion. And just like that, Sherdil solved the murder mystery from point A to point Z.

‘Detective Sherdil' movie review: Diljit Dosanjh is all talk in middling murder mystery
Detective Sherdil begins with a rap number talking up its quick-witted protagonist, ending with a declarative 'Sherlock and Bakshi could never compare!' A tall claim, but also true in a sense. Neither Holmes nor Byomkesh hung around at crime scenes making reels. This, however, is what Sherdil (Diljit Dosanjh) does in the film's opening scene, calling it a highlight of his job. The camera circles him in an arc. We are being introduced to a genius investigator. Instead, Diljit looks like he's ready to drop his latest single. Having busted the biggest kidnapping ring in Budapest — oddly, no one, not even the White characters, speak a line of Hungarian — Sherdil is starting on a vacay. Promptly and unceremoniously, he's dragged back to investigate the murder of telecom magnate Pankaj Bhatti (Boman Irani). On a highway, Bhatti's car was waylaid and blown up by a bike-borne assassin. While the killer was caught, who were his paymasters? The obvious thing to do will be to interrogate the assassin first. Instead, Sherdil rolls up at the Bhatti mansion and places everyone in house arrest. It transpires that Pankaj, like any self-respecting victim with a large fortune in a murder mystery, had altered his will before his death. His family—wife Rajeshwari (Ratna Pathak Shah), kids Angad (Sumit Vyas) and Shanti (Banita Sandhu), plus a missing sala (Chunky Pandey)—comes under suspicion. Also missing is Bhatti's driver, Jaipal (a shifty-looking Mukesh Bhhatt), and Shanti's boyfriend and entrenched outsider Purvak (Arjun Tanwar). Things are looking particularly grim for Purvak, whom Pankaj had bequeathed the lion's share of his wealth. Detective Sherdil (Hindi) Director: Ravi Chahabariya Cast: Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumit Vyas, Banita Sandhu, Mukesh Bhhatt Run-time: 106 minutes Storyline: In Budapest, a fast-talking, quick-thinking detective is called in to solve a complicated murder The film name-checks everything from CID to Karamchand to Pink Panther. In treatment and tone, however, it has but one franchise in mind. The pop-cultural impact of Rian Johnson's wildly successful Knives Out films has been so huge that it, across the globe, several imitations have cropped. Detective Sherdil is not the first Hindi title to adopt the template. From the spiral staircase and antic accoutrements in Bhatti's study to a shot of Sherdil lounging in the tub, not to mention the ambitious use of flashbacks, the visual language is very Knives Out. The characters, too, are assorted hanger-ons and unreliable kinfolk. Where director Ravi Chahabariya invents is the darting, breakneck plot, which keeps stealing away from the mansion and bounding across town. The second half gets too convoluted for words. The film, also edited by Chahabariya, has a frisky music video aesthetic, evident in flashy transitions and intertitles. Though he never breaks the fourth wall, Sherdil talks frequently in voiceover, at times speeding through whole conversations to hand us the gist. The jokey dialogue writing does poorly by his rapid-fire mind. Fatally for a detective, he has a habit of stating the obvious ('This is a planned murder', 'this is a classic whodunnit'). The beat is perpetually dropping in Diljit's head in Detective Sherdil. The actor hits his comedic marks, blowing on a gold-plated harmonica to punctuate his deductions and doubts, wielding it on one occasion like a batarang. Mostly, though, he struggles to enliven scenes. Sherdil is perhaps too chipper an investigator to take seriously (for the right balance between quirkiness and command, see Radhika Apte in Monica, O My Darling).This is where the voiceovers would've come of use—but they don't. Despite the constant inner monologues, Sherdil gives no hint of an inner life. ALSO READ:'India is nobody's property': Diljit Dosanjh amid calls for protest against his concert Irani, Vyas, Sandhu and Bhhatt do respectable filler work—nothing more, nothing less. And a minor bravery award should be conferred on Diana Penty (as Sherdil's co-investigator Natasha) for sitting for a staring match with Ratna Pathak Shah. Better actors would have shuddered. From sassy Maya Sarabhai to icy Rajeshwari, the heat in Pathak Shah's glare has remained undimmed. Detective Sherdil is streaming on ZEE5
