A dispute over paternal property becomes a struggle for justice in the television drama ‘Ongshidar’, which explores women’s inheritance rights, family discrimination and the courage to stand against injustice.
The story follows two sisters who face attempts by their uncle and other relatives to deprive them of their rightful share of their late father’s property. Their relatives resort to conspiracy, intimidation and abuse, even threatening to drive them out of their home. Despite the pressure, the elder sister refuses to give up and takes a stand to claim what is rightfully hers.
Through the family conflict, ‘Ongshidar’ highlights the social barriers faced by fatherless daughters seeking their inheritance. It also draws attention to the legal questions surrounding women’s property rights, alongside themes of dignity, equality and resistance to injustice.
Actress Tania Brishty returns to the screen in the drama after a prolonged period of illness.
Filmed in Galibpur village in Nawabganj, the drama was written, scripted and directed by Iksan Rony. Faruk Ahmed Rana and Nandi Jewel wrote the dialogues.
Rony said the production portrays a familiar reality in Bangladeshi society and aims to highlight women’s rightful claims, self-respect and courage in confronting injustice. He hopes the story will resonate with viewers and deliver a positive social message.
Producer Kazi Saiful Islam Rajib said the team wanted to combine entertainment with social awareness. He expressed hope that the drama would touch audiences and encourage greater understanding of women’s rights.
