Good news by the River
irtondo6 November 2011
Movie shooting on the edge of the Padma River, where a community people live face to face with (or against) the nature and the weather. Love, family, religion and work are, like in Europe, the reasons to go on and find the cause for smile and cry as life goes on. Very good work. TOP SCENE: at 1h,30min (more or less) a man is punished for his love relation with a married woman as the husband beats and calls her as a bitch in front of all the people. The man have to stay for two days chained to a tree, and we can see the woman, during the night, who goes to him bringing some water risking her life, as two men silently watch the moment.

akashok-6956623 December 2023
This is a great film from Bangladesh that represent the evergreen riverside rural areas and culture of the following society. It is truly a gem of Bangladesh film industry. The camerawork,acting everything was top class. It shows about struggle of poor people and fishermans miserable life. Raisul Islam Azad gave his best acting in this movie. This movie based on a novel written by Manik Bandopadhay. The film was shot entirely on location within Bangladesh. People from new generation should watch this movie. It will help to know about our past history a lot. It is not only a movie,it is like a asset of Bangladesh.

Life of the people arrounds the Padma river

Warning: Spoilers
Padma Nodir Majhi is Indo-Bangladesh joint production which was from the novel " Padma Nodir Majhi" by Manik Bandopadhayas . I like to see this types of movies. I love this movie because it capture the real view of the boatman besides the river. The people lives very measurable life. Every step of their life they struggle to live. In this movie every person signifies the real picture of the people. We people will not go to visit them, so we never can realize about their life. But in this movie it show us how they are spending their life. The boatman go to the river to catch fish then sell and by this they allocate their earning . When they go to the river they even have no any gurrenty that they will back safely but they have to do this. Every boatman have no their own boat, their have the boat master who shares his boat with the boatman who have no their own. For this they have to also pay for it. Whenever the disaster occure they lost their mortgage and they have to repair it again. Some people take advantage from them saying that he will help them in a small amount of money but they have to give their fingerprint in a blank white page. As they needed to repair they become agree with those types of people. However the boatman started their life with regular activities. The boatman always not stay with the sorrows they also enjoy when the festival begins. Whatever they have they love their life. They are also helping people they help each other in anyone's hard time. In this movie the reality have shown. The character is amazing, in their own way the actors shows their best acting. The nature was captured very well. When I was watching the movie I feel like that I am in it. As every character was attracted I can't mark anyone individually. I can just say that if one's character was not in there the movie would not be fulfill. I always love to watch these types of movie. In our life we never stay happy what we have but whenever we watch these types of movie for just one time we can realize that we have everythings with us but don't know why we can't stay happy with it. However only for one time we can realize this, is not it enough to realize the real things! We go tho the market to buy fish but we never think who have reached this to us how hard it was for them. We never do anything for them. They are missing the facilities of hospitals also. If there is an emergency they can not reach as soon as possible as we can. They are missing from this advantages. There have no shelter also when the disaster happened.Some people died also. They just pray for recover from the disaster. But they live that's the main. They also not seems in addicted in saving. It's their life. If this movie was not make I would miss those people's lifestyle. There have other movie also like this types of reality. I will suggest the every people to watch this movie. Who knows you can also realize the real things
