Harun ur Rashid
Young director Aranya Anwar seems to have stepped further towards establishing his partnership with writer Pranab Bhatta. After making Asroy that was aired on the anniversary of Channel-i, the duo now present a drama serial--'a planned long drama serial' they call it. Titled Keboli Raat Hoye Jaay, the 52-episode serial is starting today on Channel-i at 7:50 pm. The serial will be aired twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.The première show of the drama took place at the Spectra Convention Centre on April 17. Including the writer and director, performers of the drama--Dolly Jahur, Saleh Ahmed, Dipa Khondokar, Mir Sabbir and others were present at the ceremony. Besides, some of the popular cultural figures like Kumar Biswajit, director Masum Reza and Abdun Noor Tushar, also attended the programme. Two episodes, No. 1 and 15, were screened at the première. Although Pranab Bhatta has chalked out the plot, Aranya Anwar has also collaborated with the writer in scripting the drama serial. Keboli Raat Hoye Jaay is the story of a middle class family, consisting of a father and mother, and their three offspring. The father is a retired schoolmaster. The eldest son Imtiaz has just joined the business as a contractor after completing his university education. The only daughter Barsha is a final year university student and the youngest son Imran, has gone to the dogs well before graduation. The crisis of the story stems from Imran's activities. The family members seldom meet him as he leaves the house much before anyone wakes up and returns home after everybody is asleep. He keeps company with cadres who always carry arms. One day Imran's house is raided by the police for arms. However, Imran manages to escape. Barsha seems to be the only one concerned about Imran. In the first episode, she is seen interrogating Imran one night after he returns home. She also discovers Imran to be addicted to drugs. There are other characters too. The housemaid Kulfuti falls in love with Abu Bakar, a shop owner. There is a chanachur vendor Razzak who also loves Kulfuti. Their activities provide a good amount of comic relief. Barsha's university friends include Sohel who shares his secrets only with his roommate Javed. Suhashini Sarkar seems to be the most mysterious character. She has many connections in the upper strata of the society and helps people like Imtiaz get business contracts using those influences. She takes money in return. Actress Dipa Khondokar has portrayed the character very well. The cast of the drama serial also has Saleh Ahmed, Dolly Jahur, Fakhrul Hasan Boiragi, Lucky Inam, Mahfuz Ahmed, Tanvin Sweety, Tushar Khan, Shahidul Alam Sachchu, Mir Sabbir, Sumaiya Shimu, Shahriar Nazim Joy, Ahsan Habib Nasim, Tisha, Hridi Haque and others. Aranya Anwar has already secured a strong position in the arena of TV drama in the country. Recently BTV aired his drama serial Janak that earned huge audience popularity. Besides, he wrote a play with a solo performance by Humayun Faridi for the erstwhile ETV. The play, Darao, however, was not aired as the channel was closed. Masum Reza who has seen the play highly praised the drama. With Keboli Raat Hoye Jaay, viewers will get another mirror view of the society.
