After the Third Bell is a 2014 independent Bollywood crime-mystery film written and directed by Ajay Govind.[1][2] The film released on April 4, 2014 and stars Udayan Banerjee as Assistant Commissioner of Police BC Banerjee and Akanksha D. Sharma as Sub-Inspector Balbir Chowdhary in the lead roles.
Funding for the movie was partially collected via a crowdsourcing campaign.[3]
Plot and Background
The film centers around the murder investigation of an actor who drops dead on stage in front of a live audience. However, the investigation is led by a police officer, Banerjee, who seems more distracted by his prejudices towards the suspects rather than the merits of the case.
The murder in the film takes place during the staging of a play called A Perfect Relationship. The play is an official Indian adaptation of Doric Wilson’s play. Sameer Thakur, who plays Surya in the film, has co-written the adaptation along with Arushi Singh, who plays Ivana Grewal in the film. Footage from the live staging of the play in Delhi is used in the film to establish the murder and the suspects.
