Entertainment Report :
The much-anticipated psychological thriller based movie directed by Badrul Anam Saud titled ‘Shyama Kabya’ is set
to release in the theatres
of the country on May 3.
The director himself confirmed
the news yesterday.
Notably, this movie received
government funding in 2019-20.
The leading actors of the movie, Shohel Mondol and Neelanjona Neela, conveyed that their characters are distinctively
original, and designed to resonate deeply with audiences.
Neela characterised ‘Shyama’ as exceedingly tranquil, suggesting that her presence would be soothing to viewers.
Shohel Mondol demonstrated
a cautious reticence to reveal any imperfections that might tarnish
the integrity of his role.
Additionally, the movie features
performances by noted actors Suborna Mustafa and Badrul Anam Saud
himself, further enhancing its appeal.
Initially planned for release on November 24 at a government-funded venue, the movie faced many delays.
Director Saud said, “Given the then ongoing political situation in the country during the National Parliamentary Elections, we decided to postpone the movie’s release. We realised audiences wouldn’t want to watch movies in such circumstances. It’s for the audience that we make movies. Their safety and
convenience are paramount. Therefore, we’ve decided to release ‘Shyama Kabya’ after the national elections.”
Finally, a new release date for the movie has thus been announced.
‘Shyama Kabya’ dominated at the Gange Sur Seine Film Festival in Paris, claiming awards in four categories. It also won the Special Jury Award, the Best Original Screenplay Award, the Best Picture Award, and the Best Editing Award. The direction, story, screenplay, dialogues, and editing for ‘Shyama Kabya’ were done by Badrul Anam Saud, which earned him the Best Original Screenplay Award and the Best Editing Award. Meanwhile, the Best Picture Award for the film was taken by Ishthiaq Hossein.
The psychological thriller narrates the tale of a college teacher (Shohel Mondol) who had experienced a traumatic
childhood incident and tends to seclude himself in his home,
where he lives alone.
However, his life takes a new turn when he falls in love with a beautiful girl (Neelanjona Neela) and they get married.
Audiences will also get to see Intekhab Dinar and A K Azad Shetu, amongst others, playing significant roles in the movie.
