Sufia Easel’s moody watercolour art explores anxiety, memory, and solitude. Shifting from graphic design to painting full-time, she now sells merchandise to reach wider audiences while preserving her deeply personal, emotionally rich artistic style.
Chorki, known for championing diverse storytelling, developed this platform to give short films broader exposure beyond festivals and niche audiences. As Chorki CEO Redoan Rony put it, “Young filmmakers usually end up screening their short films only at festivals or for a specific crowd. After that, these films almost disappear from public view. We wanted to change that.”
Alongside “Amalnama”, Zahid will also appear in “Utshob”, a film directed by Tanim Noor, set for release this Eid-ul-Azha. Reflecting on his choices, he added, “I don’t take on projects unless I truly like them. After my break, I’ve worked on two projects and enjoyed both. The audience will see me in different roles in these films.”
While the teaser keeps much of the storyline under wraps, Hasan's appearance has led many to speculate that he might be portraying a police officer.
This line perfectly defines what “Ghumpori” is all about—a tale of endless love that will make you cry and smile, yet still leave you longing for the kind of love Megh (Pritom Hasan) has for Jyoti (Tanjin Tisha). It's a love story that defies logic and makes you question how one can fall in love with someone they've never met and dedicate their entire life to fulfilling their dreams.
In observance of International Mother Language Day, the two companies have made cinema accessible to the visually impaired through audio description. The selected film for this initiative is the Chorki original “Kacher Manush Dure Thuiya”, a project under the “Ministry of Love” series.
With Pohela Falgun and Valentine’s Day around the corner, a host of web films, dramas, and songs are set to release, adding to the festive fervour. While some have already premiered, others are slated for release next week.
Pritom Hasan and Tanjin Tisha are set to star together in “Ghumpori”, a new web-film directed by Jahid Preetom.
“Priyo Maloti” captures the story of the otherwise ordinary life of Maloti Rani Das played by Mehzabien. The protagonist, newly married to Polash Kumar Das, is a warrior struggling to make ends meet.
The eerie premise of “Hatbodol” revolves around an architecture student, portrayed by popular actor Yash Rohan, who agonises over his possibly deceased pet, a dog, and how he tries to handle his grief by wanting to adopt another dog.
The director, who previously directed films like “Kishmish” and “Dilkhush” shared that the plot of his series is located on a hilly area. “A special team arrives there to integrate an active community. The story is about what happens next.”
The song, titled “Jochonar Phool”, is written by Chirkutt frontline Sharmin Sultana Sumi and she jointly tuned and composed it with the songwriter and Chirkutt member Pavel Areen. The latter also produced the song. Mostofa Sarwar Farooki himself released the song on Wednesday through his Facebook profile.
The film in which director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki himself appears on-screen from behind the camera (his usual job) for the first time can be said to be special. Then again, at the end of the day, how good or bad a film is, depends on the story and acting. For now, the glimpse of how he is as an actor is being perceived.
Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has successfully concluded filming of his most recent project, "Last Defenders of Monogamy". The film features renowned actor Chanchal Chowdhury, known for his roles in "Karagar" and "Hawa", alongside musician Xefer Rahman. Additionally, the cast includes Samina Husain Prema and Shuddho Rai.
In a move to add Halloween-based entertainment this year, Chorki released a trailer for its original web-series “Procholito”. The series is of the thrilling horror genre comprising five plots. It has been geared up to release one new episode every Thursday, starting October 19.
Traditionally, nations around the world host such celebratory events to honour the achievements of their cinema in film festivals. This is the first time that Bangladesh has arranged such a celebratory night to grace the Bangladeshi films during an international film festival.
After reinvigorating Bangladesh’s OTT space with some amazing content, Chorki has expanded across the border, announcing that that the platform will work with talent in Kolkata as well.
"Something Like an Autobiography" will have three screenings at the 28th Busan International Film Festival.
According to sources, this show is being produced by Chorki. After his web-film "Redrum", it is Vicky's second collaboration with the platform.
