In 2024, Bangladeshi web series and films flourished across OTT platforms, bringing fresh talent to the forefront while revitalising the careers of seasoned actors. Strong, character-driven content allowed these 10 actors and directors to break through, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and reshaping the country's OTT landscape.
The intrinsically intricate nooks and crevices of the realities of living with mental health disorders can very well be deemed as being only ever harsher than those represented in media. Even the churning and voicing of these complexities via books or writing can only do so much to make people perceive mental health disorders for what they are. However, when push comes to shove, representations of psychological disorders in any form can mean a further step taken to bring awareness to them — and Bangladeshi projects seem to have touched upon two rather specific ways to represent them.
This project also marked Tawsif Mahbub’s OTT debut, which received an enthusiastic response from viewers. “My very first OTT project is getting a spin-off, which means the audience loved it. I’m thankful to them. My TV drama debut was with ‘All Time Dourer Upor’, and now ‘Chokro’ on OTT. These first projects will always be special to me.”
Here are a few actors whose voices have left a lasting impression on our souls.
Tasnia Farin, who was set to star opposite Dev in the Kolkata film "Pratiksha" directed by Abhijit Sen, has withdrawn from the project. Initially scheduled to begin filming in Kolkata and the UK in early November, the film now facing delays led Farin to step back.
As Bangladesh grapples with severe flooding, celebrities have united to support those affected by this disaster. Regions such as Feni, Noakhali, Lakshmipur, Cumilla, Habiganj, Moulvibazar, Rangamati, and Khagrachari are experiencing one of the worst floods in recent history. In response, many in the entertainment industry have taken action.
In early August, it was revealed that Bangladeshi actress Tasnia Farin is set to co-star with Kolkata's megastar Dev. The actress, known for her role in "Ladies and Gentlemen", shared her excitement about this new film project.
As artistes across the nation speak out against ongoing violence and aggression towards the quota reform protesters, actress Tasnia Farin has taken to social media to express regret for her silence. Yesterday, in a heartfelt Facebook post, Farin apologised to protesters for not raising her voice earlier, admitting that fear had kept her quiet.
Vicky Zahed is renowned for creating narratives that explore the complex psychology and darker tendencies of human beings.

The recently released teaser and posters hint at a chilling narrative. One poster features Farin in a nurse's outfit, staring intensely with a stethoscope in hand. Another shows Nadia holding a syringe, her eyes glistening with tears and a smile on her face.
