I didn't know, this movie will be like this. I Cried, I loved, I believed in humanity. You can see the struggle of the whole Bangladeshi's step by step in this movie.
the unnamed, left me puzzled, befuddled.Human trafficking has been a great cause of headache for the third World, Especially for Bangladesh. Poor souls look for their luck in desert of Middle East, leaving their dear ones at home. But sometimes, they fall in grave danger and fail to return. Their relatives, however, waits and waits and waits for them. But the waiting never ends! Fazlur Rahman babu proved again why he is called one of the best actors of this decade.Very few actors can do method acting perfectly.Late humayun faridi had that charm.Babu,raisul Islam asad have that too. Our Mainstream heroes have much to learn about method acting from them, specially Babu.Probably one of the best Bengali movies I have ever watched.
The acting of Fazlur Rahman Babu is heart touching and so natural. Story created in urban area is also good . It is different from other random bangla movie.The ending is too emotional.
This is something different without any doubt. Most of the movies in Bengali are based on Love and Revenge. This movie shows various social, rural, government problems. How each and every one of us are dealing with those problems each day. The script, dialogues, acting every thing is awesome. There is a bit lacking in the direction. But it should be negligible because in other sectors the movie shows it's class. Humanity is the main part of the story. Humanity is the spirit that ties us together as families, friends and fellows. The central character, a poor farmer from a remote Bangladeshi village facing challenges at every steps of this script, sometime from the bureaucracy, sometime from his peers and finally from the traditional mindset after receiving the dead body of an 'Oggatonama' – the unnamed.
The movie opens with a young boy in a village running with a hand- made plane propeller, fueled by innocent dreams of splendor. Beauty (played by Nipun) is a single mother who struggles to make ends meet and is the subject of prejudice due to her gendered position in society. Her escapist dreams of working abroad parallels the innocent visions of the young boy, unaware of the grim realities of a migration process enabled through nefarious means such as forged passports and bribes. Asir's (represented in the film with just a name and no actors) death and the search for his body becomes a catalyst in unmasking the sinister truths, and raises thought- provoking questions at the existential reality of passports and paper IDs preceding our identities. Additionally, the film offers some comic relief as well: Farhad, a police officer played by Mosharraf Karim delivers instances of hilarity as he struggles to make sense of what is happening around him, as well as his efforts to overpower Ramzan (Shahiduzzaman Selim) in his affair with Nipun. This is reminiscent of the clowning scenes within Shakespearean tragedies to offer an emotional vacation from the serious nature of the narrative. The film's strongest point is the novel plot, as well as the powerful acting performances delivered by Shahiduzzaman Selim's role as a corrupt manpower agent, and Fazlur Rahman Babu's convincing execution of a mourning father. However, the film does not offer a solution in its exploration of a dilemma that is close to home for many of the viewers. It ends on a defeating note as Nipun resigns to a life of hardship and injustice and gives up her dreams of traveling, and comes full circle as the film ends with Asir's father chasing his grandson who plays in a make-believe world of traveling abroad, like his father. It accurately depicts the perpetuating cycle of the expats' dreams of travel as well as the procedures many undertake in making them a reality.
