Today is the first Baishakh. The biggest festival of Bangalees. Millions rejoice in spending the Nabo Barsho each year irrespective of their religion and cast. The effect of coronavirus outbreak has also brought theis beloved festival of Bengali people to a naught. Every year, numerous dramas are made with the Pahela Baiashakh and Eid festivals in sight, but this year there is no such arrangement from anywhere because of the outbreak. Everything has come to a standstill. The new year has to be welcomed at home without any festivities.
People are spending their days locked up in their homes because of the crises. All kinds of shooting has stopped. So no new drama was created around Baishakh. Many television serials have been stopped for not shooting. Meanwhile, TV channels are trying to organize programmes for the Pahela Baishakh to entertain the home-contained people. But they are all organizing the old content.
This year, on the first day of Baishakh, three dramas will be broadcast on Baishakhi television today. At 8 pm, the special drama 'Baishakher Bhalobasha’ will be broadcast. Written by Siddiq the drama had been acted by Siddiq, Ahsanul Haque Minu, Saleha Ahmed, Japanese actress Mai Atanabi and others.
At 9 pm, the drama ‘Jei Lau Shei Kodu-2’ will be aired. Screenwritten by Benu Sharma and directed by Al Hajen, Shimanto Ahana, haidar Ali, Shafik Khan Dilu, Aliul Haque Rum have acted in it.
At 11 pm the drama ‘Nil Ful’ will be aried. Chayanika Chowdhury directed it where Ferdous Ahmed, Bindu, Arifin Shuvo and others acted in it. When asked it was found that the first two dramas were aired in 2018 where as ‘Nil Ful’ was aired in 2017.
Deputy Managing Director and Chief Editor of Baishakhi TV Tipu Alam Milon said, “The birth of Baishakhi TV is due to the spirit of liberation war and the culture of Bengalis. But because of the epidemic of Coronavirus, we do not have much to say. Yet, much of what we have been able to do is to entertain the viewer only. We believe that the audience will like this event on Baishakhi TV. After all, I would just say, be careful, stay home, be well.”
