Tribute to Selim Al Deen

A scene from the film

On January 18, Ekushey TV will air Morshedul Islam's celebrated feature film Chaka, written by the recently deceased Professor Selim Al Deen, at 7:30 pm. The film has won several international awards. Chaka is the first Bangladeshi film to be released at three theatres in France in 1995.
The film zooms in on a harrowing tale of a corpse that needs to be buried. It is carried to far flung cities and villages in search of a piece of land but no one is willing to go beyond the prejudices. Actor Amirul Haque Choudhury plays the lead role in the film.
