Eid special
TV plays and film on ATN Bangla
This Eid-ul-Azha, viewers are in for an entertainment bonanza. Take, for instance, ATN Bangla which will offer many special TV plays, feature films and telefilms. This will be telecast throughout the week, starting from a day prior to Eid. These plays will feature prominent and popular artistes.

Aw Aa: Written and directed by Mamunur Rashid, the drama features Tanvin Sweety, Tamalika, Momena Chowdhury, Liaquat Ali Lucky and Mamunur Rashid. The story revolves around a schoolmaster, Karim, who seeks a correction of the map of Bangladesh because he believes there is a major problem in our map. To orchestrate this change, he contacts his former students. While the students support him in this endeavour, he arouses the ire of a fundamentalist fringe.

Bideshini: The world premiere of the Bangla feature film Bideshini will be on ATN Bangla on the Eid day at 3:10pm. Directed by Shibli Sadek, the film features Helal Khan, Carmen Brunt, Silvy Dares, Bulbul Ahmed and Eliza Chishti. The protagonist of the film, Joy Hassan, is a journalist estranged from his wife because of his poor economic situation. Joy meets a wealthy American girl, Elizabeth Reed, who is bored of her comfortable life. She comes to Bangladesh for a change. Then follow interesting developments.
