What happens

Ek Khondo Jomi (Bengali: এক খন্ড জমি) is a 2004 Bangladeshi film starring Raisul Islam Asad and Champa. The film was made from poet Shahabuddin Nagri's 2003 poem of the same title. Nagri wrote it in 2003 Ekushey Book Fair. Nagri also wrote the script and the songs of the film. Ek Khondo Jomi was the first Bangladeshi feature film made from a poem, confirmed by the director himself. For Shahjahan, who earlier made films like Pinjor (1976), Shotru (1986) and Uttarer Khep (2002), this film was his fourth stint as a director. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
