Kala Koitor: Humayun's new serial


Celebrated writer-director Humayun Ahmed is set to offer yet another new serial, Kala Koitor. The shooting of the serial is on full swing. The serial has some interesting features like the other TV plays, which he has written and directed.

The story revolves around a butcher from the rural area who lives a hand to mouth existence. Being an alcoholic, he hardly has the financial means to support his wife and children. In the dead of the night, when he is in a stupor, he sees a mysterious girl. The girl is basically a mentally imbalanced person living in the woods and her only companion is a dog. The girl wants meat for free from the butcher. The butcher falls for the girl. This is how the story advances.

Many other interesting characters join the story in the later parts. Featuring Jayanto Chattapadhyay as the butcher and Meher Afroz Shaon as the girl, the other cast members of the serial are Tania Ahmed, Ejaz, Challenger and Swadhin Khasru.
