Talented young director Abu Shahed Emon’s directorial debut film ‘Jalaler Golop’ (Jalal’s Story), which has already earned huge admiration through screening in a number of international film festivals in the different parts of the world, is going to be released finally in the city’s cinema halls on September 4. The film will be screening simultaneously in Blockbuster Cinemas at Jamuna Future Park, Star Cineplex at Basundhara City Shopping Mall and Shaymoli Cineplex of the capital. On this occasion, a premiere show of the film will be arranged on August 30 at the Blockbuster Cinemas, where all artistes of the film are expected to be present. The story of the film shows that just as Moses, who was found in the river Nile, an infant, Jalal, is rescued from a river, and adopted by Miraj, Karim and Sajib in phases over the years, only to be abandoned in the various stages of his life. From innocence to becoming a gangster, the unpredictable currents of Jalal’s journey prove that he is truly a child of the river. Told in three parts, Jalal’s Story chronicles the life of a child by that name, as fate literally carries him down the river from one unwelcoming home to the next. With the runtime of 121 minutes, the film stars Arafat Rahman, Mosharraf Karim and Mousumi Hamid.
