Chanchal, Brindabon, Khushi stun audiences in Australia with ‘Dorir Khela’

Popular actors Chanchal Chowdhury, Brindabon Das, and Shahnaz Khushi captivated the audience in Sydney, Australia, with their mesmerising stage performances. Under the banner of BongOz Films, the trio presented the play "Dorir Khela," leaving the audience in awe on July 30.

This theatrical extravaganza extended its charm to two cities in Australia, with two stage shows. Chanchal Chowdhury further showcased his acting prowess in another play during a show in Melbourne on July 21, hosted by the Dhaka University alumni organization of Melbourne, Victoria.

Expressing his delight at the warm reception from the audience in Sydney, Chanchal Chowdhury shared, "I am impressed by the love of the audience in Sydney. I did two shows in Australia. Besides acting, I also had to sing for them. All the shows were filled to capacity. Which filled me with a different kind of love."

"Dorir Khela" revolves around an anti-war narrative, featuring stellar performances not only from Chanchal Chowdhury, Brindabon Das, and Shahnaz Khushi but also from their twin sons, Dibyajyoti and Soumyajyoti. The play also included contributions from local artistes in Australia, adding a unique touch to the production. The team is scheduled to return to Bangladesh on August 5, cherishing the success and warm reception of their performances.

Director Brindabon Das shared his approach to the play's storyline, stating, "The story of 'Dorir Khela' drama was written a long time ago. Now the world's situation has changed. Keeping the essence of the story, I have prepared the story relevant to the present time."

This tour to Australia marks the artists' return to the stage after about seven years. In 2016, Chanchal Chowdhury, Brindabon Das, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Shahnaz Khushi, and their twin sons enthralled the Australian audience with stage plays like "White Haven" and "Matir Tane." However, this time, Fazlur Rahman Babu couldn't join the team on this journey.
