Chowdhury Shaheb & DANNY

After the era of black and white cinema in Bangladesh comes partial color cinema. Then only one story could be noticed and some of its common characters also be noticed. For example, the only daughter of the city’s billionaire Chowdhury wants to marry his friend’s son Danny, who has just finished his studies in abroad.

Danny is not a good boy, it means his character is bad, he can also be called a villain and his intention is to become the owner of all property with the signature of Mr. Chowdhury etc. Who is this Danny? This character and name were used in all the films of that time. Today I will discuss in detail about that character.

Name :- Danny ( Mr. Chowdhury’s fictional son-in-law)

Education :- America ( Anonymous University)

Aim :- After becoming Mr. Chowdhury’s son-in-law will occupy all the property by signing and will have a external relationship with another girl.

This ‘Danny’ in Bengali movies is such a character that he can never marry Chowdhury’s daughter. On the contrary, every time a poor hero beat him & he goes to jail with the unsigned paper in his hand. Later, he started looking for a new Chowdhury in the city who has only one daughter.

He had never been so bad before. But after being rejected again and again in propose, he started drinking a lot and this made him poorer in America and at the same time he got worse. But apparently the character of ‘Danny’ was more interesting to the Bangladeshi audience than then heroes. According to the latest information, Danny is still looking for a girl for marriage.

On the other hand, according to Mr. Chowdhury, this is also a common character or a well-known or common in Bangladesh cinema at that time. Their all resident was Dhanmondi. Mr Chowdhury had every sector of industry from underwear to biri. One thing they all had in common that they all had only one daughter and all the girls fell in love with the poor boy.

Still, on one was able to give the perfect solution these kind of common story, which was strange. But Mr. Chowdhury could not accept that, how can such a poor boy run all his business by marring his only one girl. How could he show his face in society if the street boy marries his daughter? He used to think about all these.

In order to escape from this danger, according to the conventional story, Mr Chowdhury fries his best to fixed his daughter’s marriage with Danny, who was his devilish friend’s son Danny who is newly arrived from USA

However, later Mr. Chowdhury misunderstood his mistake T as usual, his daughter got married to the hero. And this kind of story was used to make movies for many years

Funny storyline so don’t take it personally
