The second instalment of the widely discussed short film series “Immigrant Diaries”, titled “Eid Mubarak”, has been officially released, drawing praise for its portrayal of the struggles and realities of immigrant life.
Directed jointly by Jon Kabir and Saad Al Amin, the special episode features Dhallywood actor Zayed Khan in a central role, while New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani appears in a special role.
The short film revolves around the struggles, aspirations, and everyday realities faced by Bangladeshi immigrants trying to build their lives in New York.
Released on Tuesday, the latest episode has particularly drawn attention for the on-screen presence of both Zayed Khan and American politician Zohran Mamdani.
