Have you stopped to realise how wonderful this year has been in the entertainment sphere of the country? From music to movies, and from web series to vlogs, artistes from a plethora of fields rose up to offer numerous splendid performances. It seems, arguably after quite some time, people have started to really talk about Bangla movies, series, etc. Meanwhile, another phenomenon which has been happening simultaneously is how, in recent times, we have embraced Bangla content in the digital media. All these set the stage for an award show, a gala event paying tribute to those who are pushing the envelope for Bangla content in the digital world. Therefore, the Blender’s Choice-The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards 2021 came into being. The event was held on 3 September, 2022 at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC). And hence, featuring the event, Star Lifestyle presents this brief look into what your favourite artists featuring in all the content you are now raving about.

One of showbiz’s most sought-after stars, Afran Nisho took home the Best Actor in Negative Role award at the Blender's Choice-The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards 2021. The actor won the award for his stellar performance in the Chorki web-series “Morichika”.

The song “Shada Shada Kala Kala” seems almost like a visual rendition of “the merry minstrelsy” that breaks out in front of the bride as red as a rose.

Hawa is a Bangladeshi mystery-drama film, written and directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon. The film is produced by Facecard Productions and Sun Music & Motion Pictures Limited and has become one of the trendiest movies of the year. The film stars Chanchal Chowdhury as Chan Majhi, Nazifa Tushi as Gulti, and Sariful Razz as Ibrahim or Iba, amongst others. A few days ago, Gulti, a protagonist of the trending movie Hawa, sat amongst the crowd at Chitra Mahal cinema hall in Old Dhaka, to relive the magic of cinema amongst real men.

If you are thinking that Hawa, the Chanchal Chowdhury and Nazifa Tushi starrer is simply facing the first few days of success, that is usual of any good movie, then you are simply clueless. The movie written and directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon is facing an implausible triumph, one that is only synonymous with blockbuster hits. Fans had gone wild even before the movie was released. They were wearing the Hawa sari, and Hawa T-shirts, carrying the Hawa merchandise and even humming to the famous ‘Shada-Kala’ tune while boarding a rickshaw. It’s as if the film had created a cult following, who were hung up on setting the records straight for once: that Bangladeshi movies could generate a buzz similar to any of their global counterpart.

The most impeccable features are its cinematography, production design and colour grading.

“Paap Punno”, a Bangla film directed by celebrated director Giasuddin Selim was released on May 20. The film stars Chanchal Chowdhury, Siam Ahmed, and Shahnaz Sumi in the lead roles.

International artistes have long rallied for proper royalty disbursements, a fight that has been successful in bringing long-term security to their professional and creative lives.

Three or four? I don't clearly remember how old I was. . . .but surely not more than 5. Nothing clear, only glimpses. I partly remember the exterior of the hall, which has remained almost similar through the decades; I remember the hall entrance, the crowd, my parents holding my hands. That's the first time I went to a theatre to watch a movie. It was at Balaka.

Jaya Ahsan and Chanchal Chowdhury were invited to a discussion session by Starflixed titled 'Untie the Knots of Debi' on Monday at the British Council Auditorium.
