Qasida of Dhaka (Bengali: ঢাকার কাসিদা) is a Bangladeshi documentary short film which was released in 2020. The film is directed by Anarya Murshid and produced by Bangladhol Ltd.[1]
Plot
Qasida is one of the lost musical forms of Dhaka. During the Mughal period it was admired by the emperors. After the departure of the Mughals, the Qasida here began to be composed around the month of Ramadan. Shahedi, Marcia, Naat-e-Rasool etc. are styles of Qasida. Tunes are applied to the ragas of Bhairabi, Malkosh, etc. In the middle of Ramadan, there was a competition of Qasida in the alleys of Dhaka, and at the end it was performed. The women and children of the house used to stand to hear this song. Qasida is no more prevalent. Yet a few artists still try to preserve it. This documentary is about Qasida's pomp, history, tradition and present.[2]
