Eishob Dinratri

The closest translation of the title should be "All these days and nights". But for the people who speak Bangla, the Bangla title is closer-to-heart than the translation. The TV series is about a middle class joint family living in capital city Dhaka. The family members lead their lives through troubles, happiness, love, marriage, death, like an ordinary family in Bangladesh. However, in this TV serial, this ordinary life touches our heart, because of delicate acting, poetic screenplay and excellent composition of music. The story is written by one of the most successful novelist of modern Bangla literature "Humayun Ahmed" and he should get the most applauds.
