Nakshikathar Jamin (A Tale of Two Sisters), starring Jaya Ahsan, has been nominated for an award at the International Film Festival of India in the competitive category (IFFI).
On Thursday, Jaya Ahsan posted a Facebook status confirming the incident (November 17). She stated, "I am very honored and happy that the film Nakshikathar Jamin, directed by Akram Khan, sponsored by the Bangladesh government, is shown at the ICFT as part of the 53rd edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), one of the world's film festivals. Nominated for the UNESCO Gandhi Medal Award. The greatest film festival in Goa, India, will have the official international premiere of 'Nakshikathar Jamin' on November 25."
'Our film has been nominated for the competition for the first time on behalf of Bangladesh for this prize which started in 1994,' Jaya said in a post expressing joy at the development. My happiness is made all the more unique by the fact that the Nakshikathar Jamin, in which I performed, is based on the novel of adored author Hasan Azizul Haque. It features a female lead and is set around the time of our great Liberation War.
During the 2018–19 fiscal year, the government granted 'Nakshikathar Jamin' a grant. The 53rd iteration of IFFI will take place in Goa, India, from November 20 to 28. On November 25, at 9 am, the movie will be shown in Inox Panjim Auditorium 1.
