Description: “Bhuban Majhi” is a Bangladeshi film centered on the Bangladeshi War of Independence. Directed and produced by Fakhrul Arefeen Khan, it features Indian actor Parambrata Chatterjee and Bangladeshi actress Aparna Ghosh. The movie was released on March 3, 2017. It uniquely intertwines two timelines: 1970 to 1971 and 2004 to 2013. The story begins in 1970, showcasing the transformation of an ordinary man, portrayed by Parambrata, into a rebel as he grapples with his ideals. The narrative concludes in 2013, reflecting on the philosophy of Baul Ananda Shai.
The protagonist, Nahir, played by Parambrata, arrives in Kushtia to complete his studies just before the 1970 elections. Despite the widespread political unrest and the movement for independence in East Pakistan, Nahir remains largely indifferent. His primary concerns are his passion for theater and his love for Farida.
Parambrata describes Nahir as a multifaceted character, embodying the conflicting emotions and hesitations that many people experience. Nahir is torn between his patriotic desire to join the war and his artistic inclination to seek independence peacefully. This internal conflict highlights the complexities of human nature, as he navigates his beliefs and emotions.
“Bhuban Majhi” offers a compelling exploration of personal and national struggles, blending historical events with profound philosophical reflections.
