The recently released web film “Amlanama” on the Bangladeshi OTT platform Chorki feels like a mirror—reflecting the cruelty of society, the conflict between sin and virtue, and the weight of guilt carried silently within a person. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Raihan Rafi, the film showcases his bold attempt to tell a story in a new rhythm and tone.
“Amlanama” opens with an air of peace. But it soon becomes clear that beneath this calm lies a dark past—a sin that continues to haunt Hasan, the central character. He made a grave mistake. But has he paid the price? Or does society want him to suffer endlessly? These moral dilemmas make the film stand apart—it’s not just a story; it’s a trial of conscience and redemption.
Zahid Hasan breathes life into the role of Hasan, portraying a man torn between remorse and survival. Tama Mirza, Kamruzzaman Kamu, and Geetshree Chowdhury each deliver impactful performances, grounding their characters in emotional realism—making them feel like people we know.
The film’s cinematography and background score amplify its melancholic tone and introspective mood. With minimalist sets, familiar faces, and powerful storytelling, “Amlanama” finds its strength in subtlety and truth.
“Amlanama” leaves viewers with one lingering question—can a person truly move on from their past, or will society always hold it against them? This film is not just a narrative; it’s a social reflection, a moral test. For viewers who seek depth, realism, and bold storytelling in Bangladeshi web content, “Amlanama” is a must-watch.
