In an industry where schedules are packed and free moments are fleeting, Eid becomes a special window for reconnecting. “Usually, we don’t really get to see our relatives often because everyone’s so busy. But during Eid, everyone is free, and that gives us the chance to meet, talk, and share time together. I’m really looking forward to those chats and moments.”
In conversations with The Daily Star, actors Sumaiya Shimu, Shajal, and Tama Mirza opened up about the invaluable roles their mothers played in shaping not only their careers but also their lives.
During a special screening of the film “Daagi” in a Dhaka cinema on April 7, actors, musicians, filmmakers, producers, and journalists observed a one-minute silence in support of Palestine, as part of the ongoing global strike.
Popular actress Tama Mirza is currently basking in the success of her latest film, "Daagi". Since its release during Eid, she has been visiting various theatres and receiving widespread acclaim from audiences. Reflecting on this positive reception, Tama shared with The Daily Star, "The audience has wholeheartedly embraced 'Daagi'. Their love and appreciation mean the world to us."
Among the six films released this Eid, “Daagi” marks the silver screen return of Afran Nisho after two years. Since its release on Eid day, the film has been running houseful in cineplexes, with steady audience presence in theatres—much to the delight of the actor and the entire production team.
Afran Nisho has once again captivated audiences—this time not on screen, but through a striking promotional appearance for his upcoming film “Daagi”. The popular actor was recently spotted in a prisoner’s uniform, numbered ‘786’, handcuffed and flanked by two men dressed as police officers, in a scene that instantly sparked buzz on social media.
Not too long ago, Tama Mirza impressed critics with her performance in Raihan Rafi’s web-series “Amalnama”, released on Chorki. Nowadays, the actress is busy promoting her upcoming Eid release “Daagi”, in which she stars alongside Afran Nisho in the lead role. 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.”
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the first song from “Daagi”, titled “Ektukhani Mon”, was released. The song has been performed by Tahsan Khan and Masha Islam, with lyrics by Sadat Hossain. The music composition and arrangement were done by Sajid Sarkar. The visuals of the song feature a romantic sequence between Nisho and Tama. Directed by Shihab Shaheen, “Daagi” also stars Sunerah Binte Kamal, Shahiduzzaman Selim, and others.
Afran Nisho, known for his stellar performances in TV dramas and web films, has now stepped onto the big screen with the film, "Shurongo". His film hit 31 theaters across West Bengal last Friday, marking his debut in the neighboring country.
The blockbuster Eid release, "Shurongo," starring actor Afran Nisho and Tama Mirza, has not only taken the Bangladeshi audience by storm, but has now ventured into West Bengal, India. With the movie being screened in 31 theaters in West Bengal since yesterday, the film's stars and crew are witnessing the wave of appreciation firsthand.
Shahriar Shakil, the film’s producer, confirmed the news to The Daily Star. He is currently in Kolkata, where the movie will premiere later this evening. Raihan Rafi expressed his optimism, hoping that the West Bengal audience will embrace the film as warmly as the audience in Bangladesh has.
The "Shurongo" team looked super excited engaging in funny banters with popular host Mir Afsar Ali. Afran Nisho, Raihan Rafi and Tama Mirza also enjoyed a hearty brunch with Jaya Ahsan and Srijit Mukherji.
Ahead of its release in West Bengal, SVF treated the audience with the movie's trailer on July 16. The trailer showcased some magnetic moments and powerful dialogues from the film.
Starting from next week, "Shurongo" will be screened in over 50 theatres across the country.
During the surprise visit, the residents of Bhuapur requested the star to construct a cinema hall for their hometown. Bhuapur once had two cinema halls, however, none remain currently.
Raihan Rafi's latest Eid film, "Shurongo," continues to amaze the audience since its release. The audience’s response has been overwhelming, and Afran Nisho's debut film is on track to set a remarkable new record.
The cast and crew of "Shurongo", alongside teams of Chorki and Alpha-i, are also here at Dhaka' premier Cineplex.
Yesterday, the directors of the two films respectively shared the information on their social media page.
