What happens

Khairun Sundari (Bengali: খাইরুন সুন্দরী; English: A Beautiful Lady, Khairun) is a 2004 Bangladeshi romantic folk‑drama film directed and written by A K Sohel and produced by Meghalaya Studio Reddit. Starring Moushumi as Khairun and Ferdous Ahmed as her husband. the film explores themes of rural love, betrayal, and tragedy inspired by a purportedly true village story from the Jamalpur region. Released nationally in 2004, Khairun Sundari became a major commercial blockbuster and became the highest-grossing Bangladeshi film of 2004 as well as one of the highest-grossing films of all time. The title track—most notably the folk‑infused track “Khairun Lo Tor Lomba Mathar Kesh” sung by Momtaz—was a breakthrough performance by the singer. The film gained a cult following particularly in rural areas for its potent blend of folk lore, melodrama, and emotional resonance with rural female audiences. It was remade in India as Praner Swami (2007) starring Ferdous Ahmed, Rachana Banerjee & A.T.M. Shamsuzzaman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
