Stories of grit that inspire a generation

Success is often romanticized—flattened into trophies, headlines, and Instagram captions. But behind every image that commands admiration lies the invisible: years of resistance, repetition, and resolve.
Directed by filmmaker Tanvir Mahmud Dip, the film features three Bangladeshis who have emerged as unlikely but undeniable icons in their fields: Sura Krishna Chakma, KM Asad, and Kashfia Afra. Together, they sketch a narrative of quiet defiance—each choosing perseverance over predictability, and conviction over convenience.
From the hill tracts of Rangamati, boxer Sura Krishna Chakma has been fighting long before he ever stepped into a ring. Navigating limited resources and systemic neglect, Sura carved his name into national consciousness through sheer willpower. His story, anchoring the film theme of performance, is a tribute to those whose hardest battles are the ones no one sees.
If Sura is the embodiment of endurance, KM Asad brings a different kind of clarity. A veteran photojournalist whose lens has captured the world attention—from refugee crises to climate disasters—Asad segment is a meditation on perspective. His journey suggests that seeing deeper is not just a skill, but a responsibility. With nuance and patience, he shows how the power of focus can change not only what we see, but how we act.
The third figure is perhaps the most visually striking. Kashfia Afra, one of the few female professional racers in the country, stands at the crossroads of speed and elegance. In a landscape where women are rarely handed the keys, Kashfia built her own vehicle—literally and metaphorically. She represents design with purpose, reminding us that grace is often born of grit.
What makes this film notable is not just its cinematic quality—though it has earned recognition from AdWorld for its narrative craft—it is the honesty with which it treats struggle. There is no glamorized hustle, no empty inspiration. These are stories told in full, with the stumbles intact.
The Note 50 Series makes a quiet appearance, woven seamlessly into the themes of resilience and capability. Infinix, a brand often aligned with the ambitions of youth, chooses storytelling over self-promotion—because this film is not about a phone. It is about people. About the restless ones. The ones who do not ask for an easier path, but who make the rocky road their proving ground.
Because ultimately, this is not about a phone. It is about people. About how determination is rarely loud, but always powerful. How talent might open the door, but it is tenacity that walks through it. And how the future is not something we wait for—it is something we design, inch by inch, decision by decision.
As the stories fades to black, what lingers is not a product, but a pulse—a reminder that every journey worth taking begins, not with certainty, but with courage.
But this film is not just about individual victories—it is about the honesty of struggle. There is no glamorized hustle here, no empty inspiration. These are stories told in full, with the bruises intact. It’s about performance, not as a showcase, but as survival.
