Adam Dawla’s debut film Boishommo is finally ready for release. It will hit at least four cinemas of Dhaka including Jamuna Blockbluster on March 21 – before it travels the country.
The premier show was held at Star Cineplex. Boishommo is a 120 minutes movie that tells the story of a dispute between a rich father and his spoiled son. In order to make his son see sense, the angry father throws him out and challenges him to face the real world without the privileges of a rich upbringing. After a few days in the streets of the mega city, the boy not only suffers under harsh conditions but also learns about the living conditions and mindset of the common people of his city.
Fourteen-year-old Abir Hossain Ankon plays the lead role, supported by Sajjad Hossain Rony, Adam Dawla, Mita Chowdhury and others. The story and the screenplay are written by Adam Dawla, who also composed the music for the film. Produced by Kirtonkhola Productions and presented by One Stone Films, Boishommo contains a cast of over 200 people.
About the film Adam Dawla said: “Youth films are uncommon in Bangladesh and I decided to risk making one. I feel that my film can be a learning experience for the young generation about human values and human dignity. Boishommo promises to be a film with a new proposal for the development of filmmaking in Bangladesh.
“While some people may consider it as an art film, it has all the ingredients of a high-quality commercial film – strong acting, good dialogues, two beautiful songs, rich music, a dance, two fight scenes, a murder, dynamism and speed. I am sure the viewers between the age of 14 to 25 will love it. The cine-goers will be glued to their seats from the beginning to the end of the film,” added Adam.
International distribution is already being done by Ilona Grundmann Film production in Germany while Kirtonkhola Productions is handling the distribution in Bangladesh.
