Anisul Haque

Anisul haque, the writer, holding the 3rd position in popularity ranking after Humayun ahmed and Md. zajar iqbal. Extremely popular among youngsters. he is also very popular for his columns called 'Gadya carton', among people of all age.

Anisul haque is a graduate of BUET (Banglaladesh University of Engineering and Technology) in civil engineering. Though he likes to introduce himself as an unsuccessful engineer because he chosen journalism rather than engineering as his profession.



He is well Known for creating novels on very contemporary issue. He is also one of the most popular dramatist (though, not for stage) of recent time. Only his name is good enough, in most cases, to make a successful drama. He has created some great dramas for TV viewers, like 'Nal Piran'(Red Shirt) and many more.

Well, 'dynamic' is the right adjective to describe someone like Anisul haque. As a writer he didn’t confined himself in a particular type of writing. he is also the script-writer of two movies- 'Bachelor' and 'Made in Bangladesh’. Both of them are box office hit.

Anisul haque and Mustafa Sorwar Faruki is the most popular couple (Don’t Take it other way) in showbiz. This writer-director couple has set a new trend for themselves. They have changed the taste of many TV viewers and thereby have set their own trend. Mustafa sorwar faruki started his showbiz career by the Drama 'Kanamachi' writtten by Anisul Haque. This was broadcasted by 'ETV' and was accepted hugely. Thereafter, they made a number of dramas. Among those, there are popular mega serials like 'Ekannoborti', '69' and others.

Anisul haque has introduced a new language in TV drama. Instead of using the traditional language, he used that form of language which is much practiced among the urban people. This idea was first practiced by late Mizanur Rahman, editor of a well known magazine. And that language has found its way in TV drama through Anisul Haque.

Though Anisul Haque is well known for contemporary novels, but he has written some novels which are based on some historical event. 'Maa' and 'Ayesha-mongal' are two novels of this genre. The novel 'Maa'(mother) has been his most successful and most praised work. On the backdrop of our great liberation war, this novel tells the story of a mother who lost his only son in that war. A mother, who raised the child by her own, without the help of father, sacrificed her son for the sake of freedom. The freedom was achieved, but the mother lost her everything. 'Maa' is been the portrait of millions of mothers of this soil who have sacrificed their sons for the sake of the nation.

Like most popular writer, Anisul haque is also criticized for the lack of depth in his novels. His some novels are written without any clue (well, money is a clue, of course). But still he has successfully introduced his own style in Bengali literature. Perhaps his trend setting ability will keep him alive in days to come.
