‘Home Not Coming’: Airtel Presents Eid-Themed Short Film
Eid traditionally marks a time when crowds of people travel from cities back to their village homes. But for the new generation, is “home” merely a place, or does it represent an emotional bond? This question forms the central theme of this year’s Eid story, Home Not Coming.
Instead of producing a grand commercial advertisement, the brand Airtel of Robi Axiata PLC has released a unique short film for audiences on the occasion of Eid. The film has already been published on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
Since its release, the content has been receiving a strong response from viewers.
The lead role in the film is played by popular young actor Miraz Hasan Raihan. Supporting roles feature Arpita Pal, Mahadi Rahman, Hridhmila Rahman, Moshiur Siam, Mainul Islam Shuvo, Mohiuddin Saifullah Shuvro, and others. The film portrays the emotions and relationships among parents, family members, relatives, as well as a group of friends.
The short film is directed by popular filmmaker Zahid Pritom. Speaking about the project, he said, “Working on this Eid-themed short film was both challenging and enjoyable. During the process, it felt as though we ourselves had returned to the age of friendship once again. A genuine bond of friendship developed among the actors, and at many moments it felt less like watching a performance and more like experiencing real-life friendship. Capturing such emotions within a short timeframe was not easy, but the dedication of the entire team made the task easier.”
