Movie — Poran

The story follows Ananya ( Bidya Sinha Saha Mim ), a college student who finds herself caught between two very different men. Roman ( Sariful Razz ) is a local thug and drug supplier who falls obsessively in love with her. Though initially repulsed, Ananya eventually begins to use Roman for her own benefit, even as she falls for a more conventional student, Yash ( Yash Rohan ). The narrative is framed through a police investigation after a violent tragedy, as Ananya recounts the events from a hospital bed. Real-Life Inspiration

The brutal broad-daylight murder of Rifat and the subsequent conviction of Minni as the mastermind behind the attack were nationwide news, providing a dark foundation for the film's screenplay. Box Office and Cultural Impact

He was loud, untamed, and carried a flute that he played only at twilight. When their eyes met over a heap of discarded zari thread, the universe tilted.
