A middle-class family shelters a freedom fighter in war-torn Dhaka.

The second movie directed by Humayun Ahmed. Revolving around a folk singer, his love interest and the local aristocratic family's involvement, the movie offered some beautiful folk songs like Amar Gaye Joto Dukhkho Shoy by Bari Siddiqui. Golam Mustafa, Zahid Hasan, Mahfuz, Mukti and Shaon played the main characters in the film.

A 90's iconic slice of life genre drama directed by the famous Novelist of Bangladesh, Humayun Ahmed, based on his own novel, Nokkhotrer Raat (Starry Night), centered around the ups and downs of a middle class family of six, casting Abul Hayat, Asaduzzaman Nur, Sarah Zaker, Shomi Kayser and many popular faces from the 90's. The story starts by showing a typical day of a middle class family and it unfolds by revealing different chapters that a family goes through, from day to day life, thereby unfolding an extraordinary tale of love, sorrow, struggle, crisis, heart break, sudden demise, and above all, unity and integrity, out of a seemingly ordinary family.

The sitcom revolves around the day to day life of an eccentric household consisting of a grandfather, his three socially in-adept sons, two granddaughters, a boarder, the male-servant and the maid. From the eldest brother who remains a bachelor and plays chess with himself, to the servant who tries to peek in through a key-hole and gets squirted with ink on a daily basis, this show is thoroughly entertaining.
