Recently demised iconic author-playwright-film director Humayun Ahmed’s last film Ghetu Putro Kamola will be released on Friday in three top cinemas in Dhaka Balaka and Star Cineplex in Dhaka, according to a press release.
Produced by Impress Telefilm, the most awaiting film of the year will also be released outside of Dhaka very soon. Last May a special show of Ghetu Putra Kamola was held at the Star Cineplex in presence of Humayun Ahmed and his family and peers.
Ghetu Putro Kamola features Ghetu songs, a musical trend which was prevalent in Habiganj some 150 years ago.
Ghetu songs were known for their traditional tunes, but what really set them apart were the ghetu performers.
Adolescent boy actors of the performing art form, popularly known as ‘Ghetu Putra,’ dressed as girls, used to entertain higher class men through singing and dancing.
The film was shot in the Haor areas of Hobibganj district.
Mamun plays the titular role of the film which has an attractive cast of Tarik Anam Khan, Jayanta Chattopadhyay, Munmun Ahmed, Tamalika Karmakar, Pran Roy, baul singer Kuddus Boyati and many others. Mahfuzur Rahman Khan is the cinematographer of the film edited by Chhalim Ullah Chhali. Maqsud jamil Mintoo and S I Tutul are the music directors of the film while Emon Saha is the director of background music. Earlier, the soundtrack of the movie was released.
