Although the ongoing global pandemic made all events around the world adopt at least the 'new normal' methods, the festivities in the capital marking Pahela Falgun 1427 and Valentine's Day 2021 on Sunday were observed vividly in Dhaka by the cultural organizations and institutions with enthralling programmes.

The people from all ages with their animated vigour and colourful minds are celebrating Pohela Falgun, the first day of the 11th month in the Bengali calendar, signaling the start of spring (Boshonto) and  coinciding with the worldwide celebration of Valentine's Day - all amidst the pandemic.

Marking Pahela Falgun and Valentine's Day, aspiring young filmmaker Zahid Gogon directed short-film 'Prem Puran’ is set to release today on LagVelki.com, country's first pay-per-view movie OTT platform.

Bongo, Bangladesh’s first homegrown and largest video streaming platform, will air three romantic dramas on private RTV.
