“This isn’t just a drama — it’s a reflection of real life,” wrote one YouTube user. Another called it “the best drama of the year,” while someone else said, “I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.” These are just a few of the overwhelmingly positive reactions to Cholo Hariye Jai, a drama starring Tausif Mahbub and Tontoni, which has resonated deeply with viewers.
Written and directed by Hasib Hossain, the drama premiered on 3 July on the YouTube channel Capital Drama. Within just four days of release, Cholo Hariye Jai climbed to No. 8 on YouTube’s trending list and claimed the top spot in the Bengali drama category. The buzz around the show made us dig deeper into what exactly is making audiences connect so strongly with it.
Alongside Tausif and Tontoni, the cast includes seasoned actors Abul Hayat and Dilara Zaman. The story follows a group of strangers who have one thing in common: they are all dissatisfied with their lives and relationships. Bound by a shared restlessness, they head to Cox’s Bazar on a journey to rediscover meaning and purpose.
Throughout the trip, the characters begin to unravel the pain behind broken bonds, question the true nature of close relationships, and ultimately come face to face with themselves. In their search for answers, they find clarity, connection, and new perspectives.
“In today’s fast-paced world, people are emotionally overwhelmed and detached from their own lives and relationships,” said director Hasib Hossain. “This story encouraged people to pause, reflect, and maybe even learn to love themselves again. I think that’s why it’s resonating so widely.”
He also added that Cholo Hariye Jai holds special significance in his career, as he has received praise from both senior directors and fellow actors in the industry.
In just four days, the drama has surpassed 3.7 million views on YouTube, with over 6,800 comments. One viewer wrote, “This might be the best drama of the year. Life is unpredictable — sometimes we act on impulse and regret later. Love is such a strange emotion, so difficult to define.”
Another said, “I didn’t expect to be this emotional while watching it. It was truly amazing.” Yet another viewer commented, “It’s a perfect blend of love, loss, reality, and emotion — an unforgettable drama. Thanks to the entire cast and the director for such a touching piece.”
The supporting cast includes Salman Arafat, Rafsan Shanto, Maya Rahman, Bashar Bappy, Sharmin Sultana Shormi, and Sajjad Chowdhury, among others.
With a relatable narrative, emotional storytelling, and strong performances, Cholo Hariye Jai is proving to be more than just a drama — it’s a reminder of the human need for connection and self-discovery.
