Former national cricket captain Habibul Bashar will spring a surprise for his ardent fans, as he will be seen in a new role in the coming Eid festival.

Bashar, who has in the past thrilled the crowd with his superb batting, will now show his prowess in the field of acting as he is playing the role of a police deputy commissioner in a special telefilm to be shown during the Eid on Channel I.

He is acting in a telefilm named 'Password' written by child litterateur and famed television personality Faridur Reza Sagar. The other actors in the 'Password' are Rokeya Prachi, Hasan Masud, Pijush Bannerjee, model and cinema artist Ahona along with a number of child artists. The telefilm was shot in the Indian state of Orrissa's Puri sea beach, and Surja Mandir and also shot at locations in Dhaka and Nawabganj. The 'Password' was directed by Mahbub Matin, who also wrote its script.
Bashar was first approached by Mahbub Matin to act in his telefilm. He at first showed his reluctance whether he would be able to act. Mahbub Matin managed to convince him to accept the role and in the end everyone was amazed with Bashar's hidden acting talent. Channel I senior reporter Ehsan Mohammad encouraged him most and said that in the past he has tamed leading fast bowlers of different Test playing countries and there was no reason why he will not be able to shine as an actor. Despite that Bashar took 14 days to take his decision to act in a telefilm.


In her ten years long career, Api Karim had only acted in one cinema. Six years ago, back in 2003 she acted in the movie "Bachelor" produced by Mustafa Sarwar Farooki, and her different character got her awards that year.

Even though she was swept away with the round of appreciation due to her performance in that movie, she wasn't seen in any other film after that. But after 2003, her era of no-film has finally come to an end again. Salauddin Labhlu's second movie Warish will be her second movie that she will be acting in.

This news was brought to us by Salauddin Lavlu himself. Famous for 'Molla Barir Bou', Salauddin Lavlu said, "It was decided long before who will be the ones acting in 'Warish'- only the actress was remaining. It is no question about why I chose Opi to act in this movie. There is nothing new to say about her acting abilities. I hope Api can bring about her best acting in my cinema. I took her in my film hoping just that."

The only thing left to see now is how Api is valued by her audience.


Emi is annoyed with rumors about marriage. Few days ago rumors emerged in the media that this international class ramp model secretly married her boy friend. She is really annoyed and furious with various questions from media about this matter. She said, I am the one who married but it is you guys who get the news before me!

You do not just give news but also talk about finding out wedding date, kazi office with marriage papers. I have a question instead, if you people know everything about my marriage then why do you ask ‘We heard you got married?’ this is the situation. I got really disappointed hearing these bizarre stories of yours.

What I am saying is, a girl like me will marry but whoever I marry I am not a girl to keep that a secret. In that sense I am not focus of media. And I have never done anything announcing to the world. I am in this media for almost 10 years.

I am trying to take our country’s identity and prove our talent in international market. So I did not like this much of raucous about marriage. That is why I got annoyed and stayed away from media for last few months. Where there is no value of my word why should I be there? This is my pain.

Does it mean you did not marry? Emi got annoyed again. She said, God I have been trying to make you understand this for all this time. Drop the marriage topic, talk about work. What are you doing now? Emi said, I am mainly doing one thing, ramp modeling. I have already done some international standard shows in Dhaka and outside.

What is the news about dramas-ads? I don’t have time and opportunity to do dramas. I don’t want to every drama. However I am worked in a drama after long time with Richi, Shojol, Tisha, Bindu. Director is Tutul. I cannot really remember the name of the drama. In this drama I played a character of a pop singer. I had fun working here.

And I haven’t done any ad after Nescafe. Nowadays movies are created everywhere, good movies; so what are you thinking about movies? Emi showed quite an interest in this question. She told with a bit of frustration, I have been talking with filmmakers for last few years, but no work is done. I really want to do movies.

However, I cannot dance in a movie. Now movies of international quality are made over here. That is why I think, I want to do something of that quality. I do not know whether I will get my desired opportunity. But I will be waiting.


Granddaughters of legendary screen diva Suchitra Sen, Riya and Raima Sen, will be seen sharing screen space together for the first time in Rituparno Ghosh's "Noukadubi."

Apparently, Rituparno had approached Riya and Raima for the film at the same time and both of them even received the script together. They were offered two very diverse roles and both of them had no qualms playing the characters. According to sources, Riya initially thought Raima's character had a lot more prominence and had much more scope and dimension to it as compared to hers.

But being a thorough professional and a doting sister, Riya chose to go ahead with the role she was offered, as it was extremely challenging. What's interesting about the entire episode is that both the actresses are playing roles very contrary to their public image. While Riya Sen will be seen in a complete de-glam avatar, Raima will be playing a sophisticated woman.

"Noukadubi" is an adaptation of a Rabindranath Tagore novel with the same title. The tale of mistaken identities revolves around a newly-married couple separated when their boat capsizes and a storm tosses them into the river. The groom wakes up to find himself and a young bride on the shore. He returns home with the girl only to learn later that she is someone else's wife.

Apart from Raima and Riya Sen, the film also stars Jisshu Sengupta, Priyanshu Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore. Riya plays Kamala and Raima is Hemnalini. "Noukadubi" follows Anjan Dutt's failed attempt to cast the Sen sisters in "The Bong Connection"; Riya was later replaced by Peeya Rai Chowdhuri.

According to Raima, "Both Riya and I have long wanted to act in a film together. But we were not getting the right project. Rituda is the best person to pull off such a cast, as he can make his female characters seem very flesh-and-blood."

About the film, Rituparno said, "The idea of making a film on 'Noukadubi' germinated while we were shooting for 'Abohoman.' I would discuss with Titoda (Dipankar De) if there's any place for Bengali literature in popular cinema because there's a tendency to classify any literature-based film as an art film.

"I felt 'Noukadubi' has all the ingredients of a mainstream, rather popular, film. A couple is separated and there's a lot of melodrama. 'Noukadubi' won't have the complicated narrative of Chokher Bali." "I am setting the film in 1925. But it would be visually different from 'Chokher Bali.' Tagore seldom specifies the period in his stories but I'm bringing it a little forward.

"I decided against setting 'Noukadubi' in the contemporary period as I felt it won't remain the same story anymore. 'Noukadubi' has to be seen from the point of that period's conventional morality. Chastity plays a major role in the film. Morality is very important. It's a bit surprising coming from Tagore and that too after he had written 'Streer Patra' and 'Chokher Bali.' I want to question this idea," added the director.


It was the early 1990s. Three music lovers and friends -- Shuvashish, Rony and Jacob -- wanted to form a band. They were later joined by fellow music enthusiast Mamun. Thus the band 'Commence' launched its musical voyage.

Till 2002 the band was in full gear and had several concerts in Dhaka. After 2002, the band went on a hiatus as two of its members went overseas for higher studies. However, Shuvashish and Jacob -- vocalist and bass guitarist respectively -- didn't give up. They decided to continue with a new line-up. New members are: Lalon (lead guitar), Paris (drums) and Kayum (keyboard).

At present the band's debut album is in the pipeline. Songs expected to be featured in the new album include "Bashanto kokil" and "Koshto amar". The songs have been aired on several TV channels.

About the new album, Shuvashish said, "Basically, we like mellow rock. Most of the songs in the album follow this sub- genre."

Apart from the new album, the band is also involved in stage shows. Commence also performs as 'opening acts' for leading/seasoned bands.

"We want to offer the listeners a distinct, fresh sound," said Shuvashish. Shuvashish and his band mates often play and rehearse with renowned musicians of the country including Piaru Khan, Fuad Naser Babu and Labu Rahman.

Rumana With Purnima
Rumana is now completely safe. First day success of her solo acted movie ‘Biyebari’ has freed her from danger. Although success of her first commercial film ‘Ek Takar Bou’ established her journey as movie actress. But still since Shabnur was in that movie many were excited to see Rumana’s success as solo actress.

But Shahin-Shumon directed ‘Biyebari’ ended all anxieties and doubts. Tremendous success as a single heroine opposite to Shakib Khan established Rumana in film industry and also Shakib Khan now has more heroines. Audience really accepted a beautiful and sensible glamour girl Rumana opposite to Shakib Khan.

Irritated to see Apu with Shakib Khan repeatedly, for audience Rumana was a fresh rain in the time of arid weather. Rumana is really happy with this success. This shining star of small screen was really tensed. She invited her own films’ producers, directors and reporters to dinner and asked for their blessing.

Rumana’s wish is fulfilled. First day success of ‘Biyebari’ created a solid base under Rumana’s feet. Now it is her turn to stand strongly. The movies that Rumana is busy with at the moment are- F.I. Manik’s ‘Chirodin Ami Tomar’, P.A. Kajol’s ‘Shami Shtrir Wada’, Shahadat Hossain Liton’s ‘Preme Porechi’, Rakibul Alam Rakib’s ‘Premik Purush’ and Zakir Hossain Raju’s ‘Bhalobhashlei Ghor Badha Hoina’.

‘Shami Shtrir Wada’ will be released on 20th July. This movie with Shabnur and Shakib is already talked about.
