Description: “Mainkar Chipay,” a 2020 Bangladeshi film, tells the gripping story of three men trapped in a tense situation inside a car. One is a wealthy individual who regularly buys cocaine from a dealer at a fixed location, another is the drug peddler who arrives late, and the third is a police officer. The plot unfolds as their fates intertwine.
As part of a special initiative, ZEE5 Global made “Mainkar Chipay” available for free in Bangladesh, allowing everyone to watch it and feel a sense of pride. Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5 Global, emphasized their commitment to providing high-quality local content to Bangladeshi audiences. She highlighted their mission to support local talent and bring their stories to a global audience, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.
The film’s director, Abrar, who is recognized as one of the youngest independent filmmakers in the industry, previously gained acclaim for his debut short film, “Life in Other Words,” which won international awards and competed at prestigious festivals like NYIFF and Short Shorts Asia. His first web project, “Koli 2.0,” featuring prominent actors like Nusrat Imrose Tisha, Pijush Badhyopaddhyay, and Irfan Sajjad, was also highly praised.
“Mainkar Chipay” derives its title from a unique Bangladeshi phrase that describes an unusual or critical situation. The director humorously expressed his hope that this phrase would become globally recognized.
