Release and Controversies
editIt was produced in 2022.[2] On 19 January 2023, Hoichoi officially announced that the web series would be released that year.[3] They scheduled the web series to release in February. It was said that its plot revolved around the mysterious death of a famous fictitious film male actor. Jugantar claimed in their report that the web series was produced on the death of Salman Shah. As proof, the report cites that it is named after the Salman Shah starrer film "Buker Bhitor Agun".[4] Director Taneem Rahman Angshu said to Channel i that he wants to release it on the Valentine's Day. He also said that the web series he directed is not based on any true story. Maybe its story can be a little similar to the death of Salman Shah.[2] In 5 February,[5] Salman Shah's family sent a legal notice to the director as the web series was announced to be released amid the ongoing lawsuit over Salman Shah's death. According to Neela Chowdhury, mother of Salman Shah, Salman Shah's family has been dishonored through the web series.[6] The web series was scheduled to release on 17 February, but the Bangladesh branch of Hoichoi postponed the release showing some pending production task.[5] Then on 2 March, without any official announcement, Hoichoi made the web series available for viewing on their network.[7] Its plot and misrepresentation of the Bangladesh Police have drawn criticism from several police officers on social media.[8]
Reception
editThe web series received mixed response upon its release, but it received praise from the audience for Apurba's performance.[9] Poorna Banerjee of The Times of India writes that Buker Moddhye Agun is entertaining to watch, but it could be a better show if it could overcome poor acting of actors, especially Yash Roshan.[10] Hafiz Mollah of Newsbangla24.com wrote, "...The eventful life of Hero [Salman Shah], the surrounding conditions - everything is there. The hero's popularity, loneliness, wants; in general, a diary of his life is revealed through it."[11] Spin of series : Golam Mamun (Season 1) Hoichoi (13-06-2024 thursday)
