crime thriller Golam Mamun

Review / ‘Golam Mamun’: A compelling spin-off of crime, betrayal, and societal reflections

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.

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.
