What happens

Char Satiner Ghar (Eng : Four Wives's Forum) is a 2005 social awareness Bengali film directed by Nargis Akhter, based on the story 'Hridoy O Sromer Songsar' by Selina Hossain. The gist of the movie was 'Parents are responsible for having children both ways, and an extra marriage can't cure it'. Alamgir, Bobita, Diti, Shabnur, Mayuri and many others Bangladeshi actors have acted in it. This is the first negative role of actor Alamgir. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
