Seems like we have a back-to-back string of proud moments for every art loving, cinema appreciating Indian out there. 

After Rima Das' 'Village Rockstars' became the official entry for India to the Oscars 2019,  turns out that Bangladesh's official entry now has a wonderful Indian connection. Irrfan Khan's 'Doob- No Bed Of Roses' is now their official entry for the Academy Awards next year. 

The movie has been co-produced by Irrfan himself and follows the story of a filmmaker, who finds himself simmering in controversy after a tryst with his daughter's friend, that lands him in a soup. 

The movie has been written and directed by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki and is apparently inspired by a real-life story which actually shook the conservative Bangladeshi society.

The movie was banned in the country after everyone claimed that it was loosely based on the life of Humayun Ahmed, a famous Bangladeshi filmmaker who divorced his wife of 27 years and married an actress 33 years his junior.

The ban was eventually lifted last year in October, after which the movie was viewed in many countries and won many critical accolades as well.
