Former player of the national cricket team, Mohammad Javed Omar Belim has signed up for an Eid drama. Named ‘Baish Gojer Bhalobasha,’ the drama would be aired on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr at 7.50pm. Rezanur Rahman has directed the drama for Channel i. Rownak Hasan plays the lead role in the film. Other actors are woman cricketer Mishu Chowdhury, Mohammad Bari, Hafizur Rahman Suruj, Mahbuba Rezanur, Mintu Sardar, Upannash Rahman. A number of stage drama artistes have also acted in the drama.
In the drama Belim acts in a guest role as someone who dislikes cricket. But he soon becomes a key promoter of the sport after witnessing love and dedication for it in the driver of a taxi that he happens to hail. This driver is Rownak Hasan. Though Belim has acted in dramas before, this is the first one where he would be seen in an original character. In the last three dramas that he appeared over the years he played the roles of coach, captain, player of cricket team. As the newest drama casts him in a non-cricketing role he thinks that it has provided him the first opportunity to actually act. He also liked the story and immediately agreed to act for it. The love for cricket shown through the drama captivated him. If dramas like this are made more frequently he says he can act in around three dramas in a year.
Rownak Hasan, acting as Akbar dreamt about playing cricket in his childhood and even got admitted to BKSP. But the sudden death of the bread-earner of the family, his father prompted him to switch to general education and get a degree pass-course certificate later. After his education he gets employed as a taxi driver and consequently gets married. But he still nurtures his devotion towards cricket and thus as the Bangladesh Cricket Team takes to England for the World Cup 2019 he decides to make a flag 1971 yards long to both honour the cricket team and our historic win in the 1971 Liberation War. He believes that Bangladesh will become champion this time and then he can hoist his gigantic flag.
Neighbours even start speculating that he has won huge money, seeing his mega dream, when in reality he gets rebuked by his wife for not having enough money to buy extra commodities for the upcoming Eid. In the midst of these suddenly he finds around 2.5 lac taka and a mobile in his taxi. Now he cannot decide whether he should make his dream flag with this money. In the meantime his brother-in-law also takes refuge in his Dhaka residence for better treatment. What he would decide to do next will only be reveled on the eve of Eid.
