Bangladesh Space Researchers Association (BSRA) sends out a message to the space. Surprisingly, after 37 years, they receive a response! Upon recording a narrow band radio signal for 110 seconds, BSRA announces that a giant alien spaceship is on its way to earth.
This is the plot of the first ever sci-fi made in Bangladesh “Porobashinee” (maiden of distant land). The film is going to be released worldwide with a premiere in France in June this year.
The film casts Mamnun Hasan Emon, Nirob, and Mehazabien Chowdhury in lead roles. Daud Hossain Roni, Sohail Khan Promukh, Shoumitro Chottopodhay and Shobbosachi Chokroborty will also be seen in different roles.
Currently in its post-production phase, Porobashinee has been shot in a number of countries other than Bangladesh including Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, Netherlands and 14 other countries.
About releasing the film worldwide, director of the film Swapan Ahmed said: “We plan to hold the premier in the first week of June, and have arranged for the commercial release of the movie outside of Bangladesh already. Porobashinee is an international film where artists from 16 countries including India and Bangladesh have worked, and it is a fairly big budget film.”
“I hope that our audience will go to the cinema to watch the film. I have been devotedly working on it for the last two years. I want to do some business and capture the international market through my film,” he added.
Lead actor of the film Emon shared with Dhaka Tribune: “Hopefully, my audience will love to watch me in the challenging different character. This is a different story, and is the first sci-fi film of our country which will be internationally premiered.”
Ibrar Tipu, Nancy, Dilshad Nahar Kona, Porshi, Elita, Tishma, Harim Faysal and Arif Rana have composed music for the film.
