<\/a>TV channels broadcast stereotypical programmes on the Victory Day, which sometimes do not depict the depth of the war, observe viewers, cultural activists and freedom fighters.
\nMost of the special teleplays aired on the Victory Day fail to portray the authentic picture of the war they observe.
\nThe viewers don\u2019t find any matter of attraction in the \u2018special musical shows\u2019, which typically line up solo and group presentations of the patriotic songs by \u2018common faces\u2019. The run-of-the-mill celebration programmes also feature repeated broadcasts of documentaries and films, the viewers say.
\nIshtiak Karim, a private service holder, observes that the special programmes lack diversity as these special programmes are mostly the teleplays and musical shows.
\n\u2018It often seems that the shows have been created abruptly without much research and care, especially the teleplays, which have typical storylines,\u2019 Fardina Mehrin, an NGO worker, told New Age.
\nEminent actor and playwright Enamul Haq, who wrote the first teleplay on war after the independence titled Bangla Amar Bangla, which was aired on January 10, 1972, said, \u2018The programmes aired on the Victory Day do not portray the fundamental spirit of the war. Such programmes deal with some common elements.\u2019
\nSupplementing Haq, noted actor-director Abul Hayat, who also performed in Bangla Amar Bangla, directed by Abdullah Al Mamun, said, \u2018The depth of war is not portrayed in any teleplay on the war due to fund constraints and lack of logistic and technical supports.\u2019
\nRedowan Rony, one of the young teleplay makers admits the criticism. \u2018It has become a trend to make teleplays and telecast them in short time. I think that teleplays on the war should be made with special care,\u2019 said Rony, who made special teleplays on war of independence such as Janani Sahasini and Code Name Alpha.
\nThe representatives of the private TV channels also admit that these channels chalk out programmes in short notice. \u2018Teleplays and music programmes are made in a very short time,\u2019 said Amirul Islam Khokhon, head of programme of GTV.
\n\u2018We try to air good quality programmes. However, it is natural that few programmes might lack quality,\u2019 Tashik Ahmed, vice-president of programme and transmission of ATN Bangla.
\nMedia personality Noazesh Ali Khan blames the \u2018over commercialised approach\u2019 of the sponsors as root cause. \u2018It is costlier to buy or make special programmes on special occasions such as Victory Day celebrations. But, TV channels completely depend on the will of the sponsors. Still the channels try their best to telecast good quality programmes,\u2019 Noazesh Ali Khan, a consultant of programme of ATN Bangla, told New Age.
\nCommon viewers, however, believe that quality programmes should be aired on the special days like Victory Day or Independence Day for a longer period as done by the channels on Eid celebrations.<\/p>\n
