The programme was presided over by secretary of the academy, Ashraful Mosaddeq. Theatre personalities Ramendu Majumdar and Mamunur Rashid were the main discussants. Shafi Kamal, director, Department of Theatre and Film, delivered the welcome speech.

Discussants at the programme described Shaheed Munier Chowdhury as an intellectual, academician and a playwright. Ramendu Majumder said, "A versatile talent, Munier Chowdhury has written diverse plays. As a translator and adapter he was unparalleled."

Labelling Shaheed Munier Chowdhury as a pioneering modern theatre activist, Mamunur Rashid said, "The first play our troupe, Aranyak Natya Dal, staged in 1972 was Munier Chowdhury's Kobor."

Ashraful Mosaddeq said, "In the coming year we intend to chalk out an even better arrangement, including a commemoration speech on Shaheed Munier Chowdhury."

The discussion was followed by the staging of Maharaj a Bangorango Natya Dal production. Creating an outrageous situation, an infamous robber named Maharaj enters the household of an elite, Siddiqui. However, the members of the family do not try to resist the miscreant. They are thrilled at Maharaj's skills, including breaking a lock. Munier Chowdhory's comedy implies how monotonous and hollow the lifestyle of the fashionable elites are.

Director Asif Munier Tanmoy's approach to the play is realistic. All scenes take place in a living room. Tanmoy has successfully handled the comedy.

Young artistes of the troupe performed well in their roles.
