Directed and written by Tauquir Ahmed, this film has been praised as an exemplary piece of work by critics both local and abroad. "People are watching the film, and different festivals are giving it credit. As a filmmaker this is, without a doubt, a matter of happiness for me. I believe that we need to work harder. We need to create works that will last a long time," said Tauquir Ahmed. This year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival has featured a total of five films from Bangladesh.
