Shahin Kabir Tutul, convenor of International Mother Language Day celebration committee, has informed that the reunion is part of the special programs that have been arranged to celebrate the glorious International Mother Language Day at FDC. According to Tutul, a discussion on Jibon Theke Neya will take place at 11am today. Celebrated actors Razzak, Amjad Hossain and Suchonda will be discussing the movie. Information Minister Hasanul Haque Enu will be the chief guest of the program. The classic movie will be screened at Zahir Raihan VIP Projection Hall of FDC after the discussion. President of the host organisation Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar said, “Jibon Theke Neya showed how much a movie can contribute in the Liberation War movement! Most of the stars from the movie have died. But we want to honour the three lead actors who are still alive.” Actor Amjad Hossain said, “It's high time for us to arrange a big festival to celebrate the movie, which involves people from all walks of life.” Jibon Theke Neya is a work of legendary director Zahir Raihan. The film is a political satire based on the Bengali Language Movement under the rule of Pakistan, where an autocratic woman in one family symbolises the political dictatorship of Ayub Khan in East Pakistan. Shaukat Akbar, Anwar Hossain, Khan Ataur Rahman and Rosy Samad starred in the movie. The movie has been described as an example of ‘national cinema’
