What happens

Premer Somadhi is a 1996 Bengali-language Bangladeshi romantic drama film. The story, screenplay, and dialogues were written by Delwar Jahan Jhantu and directed by Iftekhar Jahan. It was produced by Ataur Rahman Tunu under the banner of Bashundhara Films. It stars Bapparaj, Shabnaz, and Amit Hasan in the lead roles. It was remade in Indian Bengali-language Tollywood in 1997 as Bakul Priya. The film, which was released in theaters on July 26, 1996, deals with themes of love, separation, relationships, and social conflict. The film was a huge box office success that year. The film's choreography was directed by Aziz Reza and the fight direction was also by Arman Group. The cinematographer was Zakir Hossain. Bapparaj gained a special recognition among the audience through the songs of the film and his role as a failed lover in the love triangle of the film, a type of role that the actor also had in films such as Prem Geet, Harano Prem, Bhulona Amay, Buk Bhora Bhalobasa, and Bhalobasa Kare Koy.
