FS Nayeem, Aisha Khan starrer ‘Shekor’ receives censor clearance

Proshoon Rahmaan’s full-length feature film “Shekor” has recently received censor clearance and is slated for release during the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha. The trailer for the film was unveiled recently, generating interest ahead of its theatrical run.

 

“Shekor” continues the filmmaker’s thematic exploration of migration, displacement, and identity crisis. The narrative focuses on international migration and the emotional complexities of identity formation that arise from it. It follows the journey of a man who returns to Bangladesh after 12 years abroad, accompanied by his eight-year-old son. The child, raised in a foreign environment, experiences his father’s homeland for the first time, discovering its culture, people, and emotional landscape through a fresh and unfamiliar perspective.
 

The film also reflects contemporary political, economic, and cultural realities, contrasting the nostalgia experienced by expatriates with the curiosity and wonder of a new generation. Its emotional core lies in the enduring bond between people and their roots, even when separated by distance and time.
The film had its international premiere in Toronto, where it received a deeply emotional response from the diaspora audience. It features songs performed by Sabbir Zaman and Sanzida Mahmood Nandita.

The cast includes FS Nayeem, Aisha Khan, Dilara Zaman, Somu Chowdhury, and Sangeeta Chowdhury, among others. Filming took place across Dhaka, Gazipur, Rajshahi, and Kushtia. The film is based on a novel by Sanaul Mostafa, with direction, screenplay, and production by Proshoon Rahmaan under Imation Creator. It has received a universal rating, positioning it as a family-friendly release.
