Ask Dhaka Would you watch content about nostalgia and melancholy in Bangladesh?

Hey everyone! I recently made a short reel featuring a Curzon Hall in DU, trying to capture a sense of nostalgia and melancholy. I'm thinking of starting content creation centred around these feelings, but specifically through a Bangladeshi lens. Think fading neighbourhoods, old buildings, forgotten streets, and those little cultural subtleties that make Bangladesh feel like Bangladesh. I want to pair these visuals with Bengali music and classical pieces that evoke eras gone by, creating a sense of longing for a past we may not have even experienced.

I've attached the reel and would love some honest feedback. Do you think there's an audience for this kind of content? I'd also love suggestions for places, stories, or music that capture this feeling. I'm just starting out, so criticism and ideas are more than welcome!

Thanks a ton, mate! I’m just trying to find a niche that feels true to me while also connecting with an audience. ❤️
