participated in the song with his whistling tune.
Describing the song and the emotional journey
behind it, Sumon wrote on his official Facebook
profile on Wednesday: The song has no bass solo,
startling lead, or caricature of drums. This is a track
purely based on Mahaan's beautiful acoustic guitar
playing upon my lyrics, altogether a simplistic
presentation." "Having said that, this song is about me
slowly aging and being almost handicapped and
bedridden for over two years. It's a song about me
stumbling about in the dark and screaming in agony
every night. More significantly, it's a song about me

Purnima in new TVC
TBT REPORT
DilaraHanif Rita known by her stage name Purnima, is a Bangladeshi
film actress. She won Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Actress
for her performance in the film Ora AmakeBhaloHoteDilo Na.
This popular actress DilaraHanif Purnima has also worked in many
dramas. Her success on the small screen is worth mentioning.
Outside of that, we have seen her as programme host, sometimes
dancing, singing, and sometimes entertaining the audience in one way
or another. This sweet smiling actress has also been seen in
advertisements of various products.
This time the actress has seen yet another new Television
Commercial (TVC) of a hair oil brand. On September 10 and 11 she took
part in the shooting of the advertisement of the new product of
Kumarika brand 'Eva Hair Oil' in the capital Dhaka. Directed,
produced by Run Out Film's Shamim. Regarding the advertisement
Purnima said, "For a long time the making of this advertisement was on
process. Finally we have done it; feeling accomplished. The sincerity I
Karan Arjun, featuring Shah
Rukh Khan, Kajol, Salman Khan
and Mamta Kulkarni, is an iconic
film of the 90's, as it ticked all the
checkboxes of that era - action,
brotherhood, overwhelming
emotion, fiery romances, and a
pumping soundtrack to boot. It
was also another film that
bolstered Kajol and SRK's image
as the defining on-screen couple
of the era. The duo was back after
Baazigar with the revenge drama
Karan Arjun, and in 1995 itself,
DilwaleDulhaniya Le Jaaenge
established them as a leading pair
of the industry.
However, while their chemistry
appears effortless on screen, it
wasn't quite so easy for them. In a
series of old interviews, Kajol and
SRK discussed the awkwardness
behind the shooting of their song,
JaatiHoon Main from Karan
Arjun. While the song is intended
to be sensuous, it is also
remembered for its rather
unusual dance moves. In an old
Chandrabati isolates herself in a Shiva Temple
and embarks on an ambitious quest to rewrite
the epic 'Ramayana'. The plot of the movie
revolves around what happens afterwards.
'ChandrabatiKotha,' adapted from the ballads
found in the MymensinghGeetika,' portrays
the golden age of medieval Bengali literature.
Chandrabati, who learned everything from
her father, penned her 'Ramayana' in Pala
style (long ballads). Many of these poems have
served as the foundation for a variety of
Bangladeshi folklore. The entire film was shot
at an actual location in Kishoreganj, the
interview with CNN-IBN, Karan
Johar recalled how 'distraught'
Kajol was on the set. "Chinney
Prakash and Rekha Prakash were
giving them very acrobatic and
semi-vulgar moments to do." At
this point SRK jokingly interjected
saying, "I was okay with it." KJo
continued, "But she was angry.
She was sitting and reading a
book on that set with her glasses,
snarling, that she had to do this
very in-your-face (pun intended)
got in the team is great. Hope it will be a good TVC, the audience will
like it.' She also added that soon she is going to be associated with some
new work. Purnima starrer two new films titled 'Gangchil' and 'Jam',
directed by NaeemImtiazNeyamul are awaiting release. Recently the
actress has been elected as a member of the Board of Bangladesh Film
Artistes' Welfare Trust.
song." SRK also added, "I had to
take a blade of grass and run it
down her back, and the
expression was to be given by the
back. She was finding it difficult, I
don't know why, it's such an easy
thing to do," he added
sarcastically. He continued, "It
was so funny, because Kajol kept
saying 'I can't feel it'. It was very
strange. I was trying to be helpful,
but it was really strange."In
another interview during the
birthplace of Chandrabati. The ordinary
people of the village also acted in the film as
Palakar or Bayati. Model and actor Doel Mash
played the character of Chandrabati, while
actor ImtiazBorshon has played the character
of Jayananda in the film. The biography also
stars Dilruba Hossain Doyel, Jayanta
Chattopadhyay, QuaziNawshaba Ahmed, and
GaziRakayet. This film has a Kolkata
connection also. Satyakee Banerjee has
composed the music, and Sankha Biswas did
the editing of the film.
'ChandrabatiKotha' got clearance from the
Bangladesh Film Censor Board on February
26 this year while the film was stuck in the
censor board for almost a year. Earlier, the
world premiere of 'ChandrabatiKotha' was
held in November 2019 at the Calcutta
International Film Festival with a screening in
the competition section. Meanwhile, the film
has been screened at several film festivals
around the world.
Presented by Bashundhara LP Gas Limited
and distributed by Jaaz Multimedia,
'ChandrabatiKotha' is going to be released in
prominent theaters across the country.
Shah Rukh-Kajol struggled through
awkward Jaati Hoon Main
promotions of Dilwale, Shah
Rukh Khan and Kajol had
referenced the song again saying,
"We had never done a song like
this. Both of us were the most
awkward." Kajol added, "I can't
tell you how much we laughed."
SRK and Kajol have many such
hilarious stories together,
including their song from
Baazigar, where Kajol was
expected to let out a sensuous
gasp, but she was unable to make
it as exaggerated as the makers
wanted. So he was advised to give
her a pinch, and she got the shot
right. "For one moment, I've
worked with her enough, but for
that one moment I felt, is she
going to think I'm that kind of
hero, taking advantage and
pinching her?"Yet all said and
done, their chemistry oozes
superbly on screen and their fans
are waiting for them to recreate
their magic again. The duo last
worked with each other in Dilwale.
