A young boy and girl falling in love and having a happy ending is usual for a mainstream Dhallywood movie. However, director Belal Ahmed has created waves by making an unorthodox movie, an anomaly in the realm of cinema. The film “Bhalobashbey To” is about a younger man getting attracted to an older woman, starring Moushumi and Niloy in the leading roles.
Moushumi plays a corporate officer, while Niloy plays a fine arts student. After certain events, their love blossoms in the truest manner.
During a conversation with Dhaka tribune, director Belal expressed the essence of the film, saying: “Niloy falls in love with a much older woman, Moushumi. While on the other hand, Moushumi is unable to restrain her feelings and falls for him as well. Their relationship is innocent, but it turns around in a different manner when they face the controversial nature of their bonding.”
“Their relationship is proof of the enduring power of true love, even when the other half is old enough.”
The film’s screenwriter and director remains influential in the contemporary world, “These kinds of unconventional relationships have been around since the primitive era. The stigma associated with it is only in our time. The film ends with the consequence of having such a disagreeable relationship.”
On casting Moushumi and Niloy, the director said: “Moushumi is an actor par excellence, and Niloy is in the right track of his career graph. Their chemistry captured the curiosity of their on-screen love.”
“At this point of my directorial career, I want to make a movie which is apart from my previous production,” the director added.
Produced by Impress Telefilm, the movie is expected to be released by the end of this year.
