Online Desk: Like every year, the season of love is upon us. As romantics from all over the world celebrate love on the 14th of February, Chorki has lined up content to fit the occasion. This year too, Chorki has decided to make valentine’s day memorable with their latest web film “Unish 20” starring Arifin Shuvoo and Afsana Ara Bindu. Here’s a look back at the star cast and their works.
Arifin Shuvoo has been a regular in the movie scene of Bangladesh. However, Shuvoo became an overnight sensation with the release of Mission Extreme in 2021. His dedication to the role and the grueling physical transformation got heaps of appreciation. The movie was an instant box office hit in Bangladesh and revived the struggling industry. The same year Shuvoo was featured in the Zee5 web series called “Contract”. And likewise, Shuvoo’s performance received rave reviews.
Fast forward to 2023, and the critical acclaim continues with the release of Mission Impossible 2: Black War. The scale and grandeur at which the movie is pitched are unprecedented in the local cinema scene. This year Shuvoo also has several lineups ready with Raihan Rafi’s Noor and Shyam Benegal’s Mujib: The Making of a Nation based on the life of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. “Unish 20” is Shuvoo’s first collaboration with Mizanur Rahman Ariyan with the movie being Shuvoo’s second release for 2023.
Afsana Ara Bindu’s first appearance was on Lux Channel i Superstar back in 2006. She was the first runner-up in that season and became an instant face in the media. Bindu started her career with modeling and then subsequently moved to drama and movies. Her premiere movies include Daruchini Dwip which was a huge box office as well as critical success. Her second stint at the movies was with Arifin Shuvoo in “Jaago: Dare to Dream ”.
While Bindu worked on and off in advertisements and drama, her last film was in 2015 with “Eito Prem” alongside Shakib Khan. Bindu has been on a hiatus ever since and “Unish 20” marks her grand comeback in the movies after 8 years.
“Unish 20” has garnered quite a curiosity with the first look and the teaser. The tagline of the film is “Not every relationship ends in eternal bond, some ends in Separation”. The chemistry between the lead pairs is on point in the movie as well as the music teaser. The pair took no time to hit it off as it was their second time having a go. Mizanur Rahman Ariyan has always presented something out of the box with his storytelling. Whether it is “Ranjona Ami Abar Ashbo” or “Charur Biye”, the director has had a commendable run in unorthodox commercial movies. “Unish 20” will hit your Chorki screens on February 13th, right on the eve of Valentine’s day. Be sure to get subscribed as the cast and the director promises something different and unique for the viewers.
