'Saba' drops - and Mehazabien transforms

 
After years of fans asking "When will Mehazabien do a film?", the beloved TV and web actress finally makes her cinematic debut with "Saba"-a deeply personal story of love, loss, and resilience.

Directed by Maksud Hossain, "Saba" follows a young woman's struggle to care for her ailing mother after losing her father. Mehazabien plays the title role, which she says changed her from within: "'Saba' taught me courage. I couldn't walk away from this character."

The film's trailer, released last Sunday, stirred social media with its raw emotion and realism. Viewers praised Mehazabien's expressive performance and the mother-daughter bond portrayed on screen.

"Saba" has already toured major international festivals-from Toronto to Busan-and won third prize at the Bengaluru International Film Festival. Now, it's set for release in Bangladesh this Puja season.

For Mehazabien, "Saba" is more than a film-it's a chapter of transformation. For audiences, it's a heartfelt tribute to the timeless bond between mother and child.
