If you overlook the obvious budgetary constraints of BTV dramas of that era you can't really find out any fault of this production.

The story is so touching that even the most serious of viewers is going to shed a tear or two after the last episode. When this show originally aired during 1985-86, the busy streets of Dhaka used to become completely empty during its show time. Almost all the people in Dhaka who had access to TVs followed this show. Most memorable show in Bangladesh's history. A true classic.

How the life of middle class shapes around its family, culture and contradictions of ethichs and moral. One of the best works of Author Dr. Humayun Ahmed. We laughed, cried and cursed with these series. The last of the tales of pre gadget era, where we were more connected than today's 'Highly Connected' world.
