Popular TV actress Sadiya Ayman has expressed her admiration for the film 'Bonalata', which is based on Jibanananda Das's famous poem 'Banalata Sen'. After watching the movie, Sadiya praised the film extensively at a press conference, highlighting the hard work behind it and the exceptional performances by the cast.
Sadiya shared her feelings after watching the movie, saying, 'It's amazing! After finishing the movie, I asked Uzzal Bhai, 'Brother, I have a question about this movie, even Jibanananda Das's so many poems, how long did it take you to research?' He said eight years. Eight years of dedication! That means, after such dedication, I got to see such a movie. I feel like this is my achievement.'
She further mentioned her connection with the story and characters, saying, 'I really liked it, to tell the truth. I journeyed with each character. Nabila Apu is so graceful, Mashalllah! When I asked Apu, 'Tell me, how are you doing?' she said, 'Go see, if it's good, see. No, I don't act that well.' This is a sign of a good artist, who doesn't like their own performance. When they feel they can do better or a good artist can find mistakes in their performance, that's Nabila Apu too. I told her, you did well. You did very well. The way Nabila carried herself with each character is wonderful.'
Sadiya also praised the casting of the main characters and other actors, saying, 'Khayrul Bashar fits perfectly as Jibanananda Das. I felt like I was seeing him. And I will say something special about Sohel Mandal. When he came on screen, I felt like I was watching an international performer. Very good.'
Praising the costume, makeup, and casting direction, the actress said, 'From costumes to makeup, everything matched perfectly with each character! It felt like they found the perfect casting for this movie.'
