Channel 1 will air a special tele-film Chokher Bali at 11:15 pm tonight. Ahmed Shahabuddin has written the screenplay and Aronya Anwar has adapted it from Rabindranath Tagore's novel.
Before she could experience marital bliss, Binodini becomes a widow. The young widow goes to live with Mahendra's mother and adolescent wife. Mahendra and Binodini have a history. The former once turned down a marriage proposal from the latter's family. Binodini becomes friends with Ashalata, Mahendra's naïve wife. Trouble brews when Mahendra realizes that he is infatuated with Binodini, an educated, freethinking woman. The web gets more tangled when Mahendra's best friend Bihari gets involved as well. Relationships develop and crumble and lives change forever. But can one change the norms of society and time?
Mahfuz Ahmed, Tarin and Chandni play lead roles.
