Stumbling across the ‘slum’ inspired set of “Bhangon” at BFDC

Stumbling across a set at Bangladesh Film Development Corporation, an unprecedented scene emerged across the halls- groups of huts shaped like a slum became visible to the spectators.

Crowds gathered across the halls were dumbfounded by the scene. Is this truly BFDC or a slum?

Mirza Shakawat Hossain's government granted film "Bhangon" started shooting yesterday and it's slated to take place till 11 October. Popular actors Fazlur Rahman Babu and Moushumi have already started shooting and prior to the shooting, the sets of BFDC were arranged like a slum. The shooting took place from morning till night yesterday.

The story of "Bhangon" centers around nomads who have lost their houses due to wreckage by the river or become homeless due to several other reasons. These homeless people gathered around together to stay in a slum and the movie showcases the woeful story of their plight and sadness.

Fazlur Rahman Babu, a flutist, comes to the slum and interacts with Moushumi. Together they start to share a great bond with one another.

People start to crowd around the shooting area, they see Moushumi draped in an old saree and are stunned by the actor's non-glamourous look.

One of the visitors shouted out, "Look that's Mosuhumi. She looks completely unrecognizable in that look".

Curious visitors also start to speculate why Fazlur Rahman babu is carrying so many flutes with him.

And then the director shouts, "Please keep quiet. Shooting has started."

The sun is about to set and a crucial scene is yet to took place.

Moushumi enters into a small house with a towel and then we see Fazlur Rahman Babu lying in bed with a high fever. Moushumi tries to put wet towel over his head to lower his fever. The scene seems easy but it couldn't be shot in a single take.

First, the director shouted at the crew "Moushumi is sweating. Makeup please fix that."

Then the makeup man came running away and fixed the actress makeup. The shooting started but then another problem came and finally after three takes it was shot to perfection.

"Bhangon" is a story about the nomads. While doing the role I got lost within the character and I realized how much pain and suffering they face throughout their life," added the actress.
