This Shihab Shaheen directorial received its censor certificate last Monday.
Providing an insight into the film, he shared, “’Daagi’ is the story of Nishan and Jarin’s love and separation. At the same time, it is also a tale of regret and repentance for these two characters. From the teaser and romantic songs that have been released, I believe the audience has already sensed this.”
The upcoming film “Daagi” has recently unveiled its romantic track “Ektukhani Mon”, penned by Sadat Hossain and performed by artistes Tahsan and Masha.

The student movements in Bangladesh have always led to significant outcomes. From 1952 to 1990, and even in 2024, each movement has achieved its goals. The victories of past movements have been captured in films and documentaries, and now, several new films and web series are in the works to depict the triumph of the anti-discrimination student movement.
In such challenging times, when protesters and civilians were indiscriminately killed, wholesale arrests, block raids, and a nationwide internet shutdown violated citizens' fundamental rights, keeping the nation on edge for weeks– only a few had the courage to raise their voices against the oppression and injustice.
In Bangladesh and beyond, the success of productions like "Kacher Manush Dure Thuiya" and "Myself Allen Swapan" suggests that meme marketing is more than just a passing trend. It represents a fundamental shift in how audiences interact with and share content. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, those in the film and streaming industry who can master the art of the meme may find themselves with a significant advantage in capturing the ever-elusive attention of modern viewers.
Even though “Golam Mamun” is a spin-off series, Shihab Shaheen uses it to reflect our current socio-political realities through fiction and brief dialogues, highlighting numerous inconsistencies in our surroundings. However, we should question his portrayal of everything under an invisible shadow, or ‘Hukumat’. This ‘invisible’ aspect implants a spectral reality in our minds, which eventually seems insurmountable. The ruling apparatus takes full advantage of this, becoming more active in masking their failures.
The “Boro Chhele” famed actor is increasingly getting known as Golam Mamun now and he feels great about people appreciating his projects. To his fans, he conveyed, “I want you all to pray for me, and I would like to say to everyone that I am grateful for all your love and support.”
Shihab Shaheen has masterfully woven countless love stories, from the heartbreaking tale of “Mayashalik” to the bittersweet phases of love in “Chuye Dile Mon”. He delicately portrays the depths of love and how at the end of the day love conquers all. With his latest creation, “Kacher Manush Dhure Thuiya”, Shaheen decides to showcase the intricacies of long-distance relationships and how an embrace can dissolve the anguish within hearts.
