Directed by Jakir Hossain Raju, "Jibon Songsar" became a commercial success when it first hit theatres on October 18, 1996. The film, rich in storytelling, music, and performances, featured not only Salman Shah and Shabnur but also the popular duo of Farooque and Babita from the black-and-white era.

In a tragic turn of events, M A Khaleq, acclaimed director of the film “Swapner Thikana” and a distinguished freedom fighter, passed away early this morning, after a month of suffering from the aftermath of an unfortunate accident in Motijheel, in the capital.

The duo of Salman Shah and Shabnur gave fans numerous hits from “Sopner Thikana” to “Anondo Osru”. Their cracking chemistry enamoured audiences, as thousands flocked to cinema halls to watch their films.
