To celebrate the life and legacy of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, director Goutam Koiri's short film, "Bangamata", is all set for its premiere today. 

The Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) is set to host the prestigious premiere of "Bangamata" at its main auditorium at 5 pm. 

The titular role of this film is portrayed by the actress Jyotika Jyoti, who embodies the spirit and grace of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib.
