Released in 2016, “Oggatonama” explores the bureaucratic and emotional complexities surrounding the repatriation of a migrant worker’s body from the Middle East.

He also recalled that Tanvir Mokammel once told him “Naiori” could have been a film, but since it aired on television, it did not receive the recognition it deserved. “The structure of our industry has, in many ways, limited us. More work could have been done, but quality is always a consideration,” he added.

At sixty, Tauquir Ahmed stands at a point where a life in the arts begins to take on its full shape. Today (April 19), at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, colleagues gathered to take stock of a career that has moved steadily across theatre, television, and film.

A day-long retrospective honouring actor-director Tauquir Ahmed will be held on April 19 at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, bringing together artists and cultural practitioners to revisit his work across film, theatre and television.

Known for his layered characters and emotionally rich narratives, Tauquir’s new project promises something distinct yet deeply humane. While the plot remains tightly under wraps, lead actor Shamol Mawla hinted at its uniqueness. “A Tauquir Ahmed production always carries a different rhythm. Working with him means rediscovering yourself as an artiste,” he said. “I won’t give anything away just yet—let it surprise the audience.”

Tauquir Ahmed has proven his mantle with his realistic acting skills and brilliant direction. His essence of breathing life into characters mainly came from his knowledge of knowing his way around theatre.

Reflecting on his birthday plans, the National Film Award-winning artiste mentioned, "I'll be spending the day with my family." Despite being abroad, he expressed gratitude for the numerous well-wishes he received, stating, " Even though I am outside the country, many people remembered me today and conveyed their good wishes. I'm truly touched by the outpouring of affection."

The government-funded film will revolve around a 16-year-old youth, portrayed by Ridwan Siddique, who walks throughout the country amidst 1971’s Liberation War and about the experiences he gathers on his journey toward freedom.

The play, “Tirthojatri” is adapted from popular writer Humayun Kabir’s philosophical fiction “Tirthojatri Tinjon Tarkik.” The play is co-written by the fiction's original author, and Tauquir himself.

“Tirthojatri”, directed by Tauquir Ahmed, took the stage at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka recently. This production marks the 16th instalment from his theatre troupe Natyakendra. Prior to this, Tauquir presented the play to the expatriate audience at the Queens Theater in New York on March 18.

Tauquir Ahmed fondly recalled the days when the Mahila Samity, located in Bailey Road, was the thriving hub of theatre until the 1990s. While the legacy now extends to the grandeur of BSA, the director shared his concerns about the scarcity of theatres in the city, adding, “I am concerned that we need more theatres in the city.”

February 4 is a special day for Ekushey Padak winning legendary actor, director and play-wright Abul Hayat. It was on this day in 1970, that he had started his married life with Mahfuza Shirin. Together, they have completed 53 years together, happily stepping onto their 54th year.

As February approaches, writers are gearing up for this year’s Ekushey Boi Mela, in hopes of publishing their books and interacting with fans. Like every year, several celebrities are also busy with publishing and promoting their new books.

"Joyjatra" begins in a remote village. Even though the Liberation War is already underway, there is a sense of denial regarding the looming danger.

We at the Seba Bangla Library in Atlanta recently screened Tauquir Ahmed's Fagun Haway (In Spring Breeze). The film, based on the 1952 language movement, is a mixed bag—while it truly soars in concept and approach, its execution is flawed.

Phagun Hawa is scheduled to release on February 8. We have chosen the month of February for the release, because the film is about the 1952 Language Movement.
