Directed by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury, "Rickshaw Girl" tells the story of Naima, an artistic young woman.
With this music video, we aimed to honour the urban folk tradition, the craftsmanship, and the creativity of rickshaw art. It's nearly extinct now due to the rise of digital printing, but through ‘Rickshaw Girl’, we hope to play a small part in preserving this beautiful heritage."
It was the first day of the 22nd rendition of "Amar Bhashar Cholochitro 1430", organised by the Dhaka University Film Society (DUFS).

Featuring 20 Bengali-language films from the East and the West, this year's event would run from February 12 to February 16.
Director Amitabh Reza Chowdhury, amidst the news of Dhaka's rickshaws and rickshaw images being recognized on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, expressed his desire to present his movie "Rickshaw Girl" to the audience of Bangladesh next year.
