It's always a wonder for me in thinking about development of cinema from black-and-white to color & from silence to talkies.

At last I'm gonna enjoy the narrative feature films that pioneered in sounds & colors.

শুদ্ধ দেশ: পলাশ মাহমুদ

 শুদ্ধ দেশ -পলাশ মাহমুদ ন্যায়ের মাঝে বাঁচা, উত্তম বাঁচা।স সত্য সরল জীবন। কতো অমৃতময়! শুধু প্রেমের সংলাপে বিশ্বসাজলে হবে কি? বিদ্বেষের অন্ধপ্রলাপ বনবাসে পাঠাবে কে? আশৈশব এইসব পদাবলীর সুর বেজেছে মগজে মননে, কাগজে পুরাণে। তবে কেন আজ। যতো পথ যাই। যতো মত পাই। বিনাশের গিরিনন্দনে বোধনের এমন ক্রমপতন। তবে কেন আজ। যতো দূর চোখ মেলি। যতো কাছে মন রাখি। বিবাদের সমুদ্রমন্থনে আকালের এমন উর্ধ্বমাদল। আবার কবে কৈলাশের চূড়ায় উঠে ব্রহ্মনদের অতল খুঁড়ে, ফিরে এলে দেখা পাবো। আমার আপন শুদ্ধ দেশ। এবার তবে নীরবতার আগড় খুলে ভুল ভাবের কেতকীভূষণ ছেড়ে, পুর্নবার গড়ে তুলি মানুষে মানুষ।

I think the rationale of being realistic in Indian cinema was more impactful than Italian neorealism. Because India had one additional ground to illustrate her cinema in neorealist mold. It is its independence and great partition which occurred concurrently while the west was suffering from  Second World War devastation. Apart from cinematic techniques, art direction, costumes, and narrative subjects; neoliberalism made paramedic change into acting styles. The acting had been transcended from theatrical to natural. The spontaneous presence of child artists with ever presence of class division in the power structure and distributed justice in the human conditions are the main concerns. Surprisingly, K.A. Abbas’s Dharti Ke Lal [1946, Chetan Anand’s Neecha Nagar [1946] was also made and released in India in the same year. This tradition ha

2020 is a very strange time, probably, in this passing century, people from all over the world have been in a long solitude with anxiety from the beginning. On the event of the announcement of Booker prize long list on 28 th July, at midnight in London but in the very early morning in Dhaka, readers from around the world have got startled either before going to sleep or after getting up from the dreams when they have seen “The Booker Dozen” or the list of 13 finest fictions in English from October, 2019 to September, 2020 published in the UK/Ireland.
