DWAIPAYAN Barua, Chittagong
Audition round of the talent hunt programme Close Up 1 Tornakei Khujchhey Bangladesh began in the port city yesterday at the Theatre Institute Chittagong (TIC) amidst much enthusiasm.
Judges, however, expressed their dissatisfaction over the participants' lack of sincerity, disappointing standards and at r times inability to overcome-’ regional accent.
As of 3:30 pm yesterday, only four participants received the coveted "yes" card that will enable them to compete in the selection round -- to be held in Dhaka.
A total of 5200 aspiring young artistes registered for the audition round in Chittagong region while around 1500 were scheduled to audition on the first day.
IXvelve judges, including Anup
Bhattacharya, Jalal Ahmed, Shujeo Shyam, Mohammad Shahnewaz, Anisur RahmanTanu, Monowar Hossain Tutul, Asit Dey, Syed Hasan Tipu, Sujit Mustafa, Syed Hasan Tipu, Zahid Hossain and Selim Ashraf conducted the daylong audition in six panels.
One of the judges, Anup Bhattacharya told The Daily Star, "It is heartening to see that young people are showing more interest in music now but the inadequacies are disappointing. Quite a few want to be "stars" overnight, without practicing and training regularly."
