Sonar Kella, released in 1974 and directed by Satyajit Ray, is the first Feluda film, adapted from Ray's own novel. Santosh Dutta plays Jatayu, the popular thriller writer Lalmohan Ganguly, whose comic relief became beloved in Bengali cinema. The tang mat karo line survives because short clips from the film circulate widely as reaction sounds online. Fans reuse Jatayu's exasperated delivery for everyday irritation, keeping the character's voice alive for viewers who grew up with Feluda stories and new audiences discovering the films through memes.
