Based on Rabindranath Tagore's popular short storyNoshto Neer, Arun Chowdhury's TV play with the same title will be aired on the birth anniversary of Tagore on May 8. Chayanika Chowdhury is the director of the TV play.

The story: Bhupoti inherits immense wealth and has little reason to toil for a living. However, he and his brother-in-law Umapoti have a busy work schedule in an English daily. The workaholic Bhupoti scarcely has time for family life or his lonely young bride Charulata.

The beautiful Charulata leads a solitary life and devotes her time to sewing, reading novels and eventually develops a soft corner for her brother-in law Omol.

All of a sudden, Omol absconds and goes overseas, leaving Bhupoti flat broke. Charulata is acutely depressed as Omol, conceals the truth from her.

The audience will be treated to Tagore songs for the first time by Kumar Biswajit and Fahmida Nabi in the play. Azizul Hakim, Tisha, Shoyeb and Dehaan play major roles in the TV play on Rtv.
