As this year’s Valentine’s Day unfolds today, television networks are set to captivate audiences with a vibrant lineup of programmes designed to bring romance, drama, and entertainment into every home. Today’s schedule promises an exciting mix of star-studded dramas, telefilms, and live shows, perfect for setting the mood on this special day of love.

Some connections are simply meant to be. For Nidra Dey Neha and Prantar Dastider, it all began on the set of Goutam Koiri's directorial web-film “Antonagar” (2023). When they first worked together, little did they know that the film would change their lives forever. 

In the Bangladeshi showbiz landscape, there has only been one Humayun Faridee. The immensely popular artiste across three mediums — stage, television dramas, and films — did nothing but devote himself to his acting career. In films, he began his journey as a hero but later set unforgettable records as a villain. The late actor was honoured with the Ekushey Padak after his passing.

With Pohela Falgun and Valentine’s Day around the corner, a host of web films, dramas, and songs are set to release, adding to the festive fervour. While some have already premiered, others are slated for release next week.

As part of the “Railway 200” campaign, Yash Raj Films (YRF) will showcase the musical “Come Fall In Love - The DDLJ Musical” to honour both milestones. The production will be directed by Aditya Chopra, the visionary behind “DDLJ”.

John Lithgow, a highly respected actor, has been a prominent figure in film and television for decades. He’s known for his roles in movies like “The World According to Garp”, “Terms of Endearment”, and “Footloose”, as well as TV series such as “3rd Rock from the Sun”, “Dexter”, and “The Crown”. More recently, he appeared in FX’s “The Old Man” and Focus Features’ “Conclave”.

This Valentine’s Day, “Next Door Neighbour”, a playful and heartwarming love story, is set to premiere on Bongo. Marking the directorial debut of Mahmuda Sultana Reema, the drama stars Aisha Khan as Bipasha and Partho Sheikh as Adnan. 

Both Afzal and Mou are optimistic about the drama and have invited viewers to enjoy it after its broadcast. The drama has been produced under the banner of Rangan Music and will be available on their YouTube channel during the upcoming Eid.

Harrison Ford is reportedly arranging to bid farewell to Hollywood, although he has one final silver screen role ahead.

An exciting live-action event titled "Squid Game Parody" took place February 10 at Kick Off Football Ground in the capital’s Purbachal. Inspired by the hit global series “Squid Game”, the event, hosted by Stayverz Bangladesh, put participants through a series of thrilling challenges, blending entertainment with high-stakes competition.

The film has already been screened in the United States and is receiving attention from international audiences. In Bangladesh, it has been shown in several theatres, including Monihar in Jessore, and on multiple university campuses, such as Jahangirnagar University.

Mamo also expressed her deep admiration for Humayun Ahmed. Having made her acting debut in “Daruchini Dwip”, a film based on one of his stories, she won the National Film Award for her performance. "He is one of my all-time favourites. He built a vast readership, and even today, countless people still read his books. The new generation continues to buy his works. To be honest, he instilled the habit of reading in so many people. His writings are very special to me."

The recently released trailer offers a glimpse into the intense love story of Orpa (Mehazabien Chowdhury) and Maruf (Farrukh Ahmed Rehan), capturing moments of romance, heartbreak, and an unsettling psychological undercurrent.

Directed by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury, "Rickshaw Girl" tells the story of Naima, an artistic young woman.

While the film had already been in Full HD (FHD) format, it had never been converted to 2D. This visual transformation has made the film even more crystal-clear, while sound quality improvements were also made. Additionally, Tanim mentioned that he preserved the film's DCP (Digital Cinema Package) for future screenings.

After a terrifying encounter with an intruder inside his own home, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has finally broken his silence. In an interview with Indian outlet Bombay Times, the actor recounted the harrowing night, his miraculous survival, and the public skepticism that followed.

The upcoming “Superman’s” Rachel Brosnahan had already recognised David Corenswet as the ideal Man of Steel long before he was officially cast in the role.
