A full-length documentary titled Ognipother Kobi is being produced on the life, literary works, political ideals and social contributions of Bangla Academy Award-winning poet Mohan Raihan.

The documentary is being directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Masud Karim under the banner of the Bangladesh Documentary Filmmakers Association.

The film will chronicle various stages of Mohan Raihan's life, including his birth, childhood, upbringing, literary career, political engagement, social commitment and contributions to the Bengali language and culture. It will also explore his influence on contemporary literature, society and intellectual thought.

The first phase of filming has already been completed at several locations in Dhaka, including Dhaka College and the University of Dhaka. The remaining scenes will be shot in Sirajganj, the poet's birthplace, during the next phase of production.

The documentary features reflections on Raihan's life and literary achievements by several prominent academics and cultural figures, including Professor Emeritus Serajul Islam Choudhury, the late Professor Abul Kashem Fazlul Haq and noted dramatist Mamunur Rashid, along with other distinguished personalities.

Masud Karim has previously directed documentaries on legendary actor Soumitra Chatterjee, National Professor Anisuzzaman, journalist and writer Abdul Gaffar Choudhury, and The Bengali Language Movement in Assam, a historical documentary on the Bengali Language Movement in Silchar.

The premiere of Ognipother Kobi is scheduled to be held at the Bangladesh National Museum on August 1 to coincide with the 70th birth anniversary of poet Mohan Raihan.

The filmmakers said the documentary aims to introduce Mohan Raihan's life, literary legacy, ideals and lifelong struggles to younger generations while preserving an important chapter of Bangladesh's literary and cultural heritage for the future.
