Premise

edit

Jaago Bahey is a historical drama anthology television series based on some important events in pre-independent Bangladesh. The first episode, Shobder Khowab, is based on the Bengali language movement in 1952. The second episode, Lights, Camera... Objection has framed the political tension between East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) and the West (later Pakistan) in 1970 through a Bengali filmmaker and a General of the Military regime of Pakistan. The last episode of the series, Bunker Boy, is based on the fight between Mukti Bahini and Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.
