In “Boro Chele”, Apurba played Rashed, the eldest son of a middle-class family. His father, a school teacher, eventually retires, leaving Rashed to shoulder the family’s financial responsibilities.

Mehazabien portrayed Riya, a wealthy girl who finds herself unable to justify not marrying, despite mounting familial pressure. Rashed, meanwhile, fails to secure employment despite numerous attempts. Eventually, the couple is forced to make a difficult decision, defeated by harsh realities.
