Entertainment Report :
The latest series of the drama serial Ujan Ganger Naiya is back on ATN Bangla from December 22 airing on Tuesdays at 8:40pm and Wednesdays at 3:10pm.
This third series is set in the fictional village of Ishanpur and cleverly weaves some of the characters from series two into a whole new scenario.
The story charts a year of the life of a coastal fishing community and series creator Anisul Hoque has set out to create a world where humour, drama and sadness underline an authentic portrayal of rural life. Births and marriages, deaths and betrayal, personal growth and devastating loss all combine with a gritty reality.
The first episode, directed by Bashar Georgis, sees a man apparently returned from the dead coming back to his village. Throughout the series, his story joins with that of his family and community and takes the viewer through the choices and dilemmas of modern day pregnancy and parenthood in Bangladesh.
Sister programme Natoker Porey is presented by Nabila and follows directly after the Wednesday broadcast of the drama, at 3:40pm. The show provides a space to discuss the issues explored in the drama, and features artists from Ujan Ganger Naiya talking with families and specialist doctors. The combination of the two shows is designed to encourage families to do things that help women to have safer pregnancies and childbirth and take better care of themselves and their new born babies.
