Japan’s legendary icon Tora-san will come back to home screens. This time, its 38th episode of the series titled Tora-san Goes North will be aired on NTV at 8:45am on March 11. The other two episodes Tora-san’s Sunrise and Sunset and Tora-san’s Many Splendored Love were broadcasted respectively in last November and February on the same channel. Humanistic yet humorous, this film which will bring laughter and tears, features unsuccessful love and family drama of a peddler, Tora-san (starring Kiyoshi Atsumi) who often goes on trips and suddenly pops over to his home in downtown Tokyo. The life and sentiment of characters depicted in the film made it a long running hit since its first screening in 1969, spanning 48 episodes till 1995 and 1 special episode in 1997.
NTV in collaboration with the Japan Foundation air three selected films of Tora-san dubbed in Bengali language for the first time in Bangladesh to introduce various aspects of Japan as well as familiarise Bangladeshi viewers with the Japanese culture and faces.
