Well that was a pretty dumb comment.
To begin with, many Bollywood films do not feature musical numbers. This one does not.
Besides, the presence of musical numbers doesn't say anything about a movie. Kaminey is neo noir and features musical numbers. Dil Se is a serious, non mainstream drama and it features musical numbers. Haider is a stunning adaptation of Hamlet and it features musical numbers. And these films received very good professional reviews worldwide.
It's just idiotic to pretend music and dancing are somehow horrible things that shouldn't be in movies. They can be part of the story telling and/or contribute to the entertainment factor.
As to Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, it's your loss if you don't want to see it. No need to come whining about it.
