Pita Mata Putra O Moumita premiered


The premiere show of special TV play for the International Day of Older Persons, Pita Mata Putra O Moumita directed by Abdullah Rana, was held at the Bengal Shilpaloy Café in Dhanmondi on September 27.

The TV play depicts the harsh reality of the lives of elders in our society. The retired Mahtab Ali has a son who works in a video-editing firm late into the night. The old couple is on the look out for a bride for their son. As luck would have it, a sophisticated lady named Moumita appears at their residence.

Popular actor Aly Zaker stated in his role, "We should recognise the problems of the elderly people and bring such issues to the forefront. The government and the other people in the society should be aware of their sufferings and raise their voices in support of the cause; only then can we have harmony in our society."

The director Abdullah Rana said, "It was a good opportunity to work on the theme of senior citizens. Making a play is fulfilling because I can work on important issues."

The cast of the play includes Aly Zaker, Wahida Mallik Jolly, Joyanto Chattapadhay, Runa Khan, Biplob, Monir Khan Shimul, Intekhab Diner, Mita Noor, Mustafa Hira and Ushnish Kishore Chokraborti.

Under the banner of Dhoni-Chitra Limited, the special TV play Pita Mata Putra O Moumita will be aired on ntv at 9pm on October 01.
