Mon Duari: A Valentine's Day drama that is still strong

The mixture of family emotions, romance and the picturesque beauty of the rural Bangladesh, supplemented by soulful music, has made 'Mon Duari' a recent cult favorite among the spectators in Bangladesh. With the experienced romantic drama actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba and the newcomer Naznin Niha, whose performance is widespread, the drama has recorded the hearts of the audience.

Since its publication on February 18, as part of the seasonal position of Valentine's Day, 'Mon Duari' has remained constant after weeks of the premiere on the trend list of YouTube in Bangladesh. Now among the top 5, it continues to take over a hundred thousand daily prospects, a rare performance for a drama published weeks ago.

An important strength for this success is the director Jakaria Showkhin, who is known for his specialist knowledge in the family and in romantic storytelling. Despite the latest political instability of the country, which limits the publication of new content, Mon Duari has opposed the expectations and maintained its dominance on the platform since its publication.

The drama follows Apurba, an expatriates of Bangladesh in the United States, which unexpectedly returns to his village to take his grandmother Dilara Zaman, abroad for a “better life”.

However, she refuses to leave her homeland and evaluate her deeply rooted family connections. His cousin Naznin Niha, together with other family members, emphasizes the idea and leads to an emotional conflict.

“Apurba is the best when it comes to romantic dramas. Nobody else will get around.

Wasiur Rahman Javed, another viewer from Uttara, Dhaka, said: “I really enjoyed the entire drama, but what noticed the most, was his breathtaking natural backdrop, graphic, color combination and processing.”

With a term of one and a half hours, Mon Duari keeps the audience through. By March 4, the drama had already been observed by over 17 million viewers. Among the dramas published on the occasion of Valentine's Day, Mon Duari has retained his position as the most popular so far.

The senior actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba expressed his excitement about the success of the drama and said: “Whenever I get an acting offer, I not only focus on the story, but also on the vision of the director and the entire shooting plan. Since I was already familiar with Showkhin's work.

Director Jakaria Showkhin emphasized that the Bangladesh audience has a deep emotional bond with family -oriented stories. He noticed that the topics of the family, home and human relationships use the spectators very much and they were particularly attracted to such stories.

“Our audience was always emotionally connected and family -oriented,” he said. “That's why they swing deeply with stories about family, home and human relationships.”

Showkhin also emphasized the importance of music and the scenic beauty of the rural Bangladesh to improve the emotional depth of a drama. He announced that he personally liked to create such works and wanted to interweave all of these elements in Mon Duari.

“With Mon Duari I tried to integrate all of these elements and I believe that the audience is easily connected to them,” he concluded.
