Jaago Bahey is a historical drama anthology television series based on some important events in pre-independent Bangladesh. The first episode, Shobder Khowab, is based on the Bengali language movement in 1952. The second episode, Lights, Camera... Objection has framed the political tension between East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) and the West (later Pakistan) in 1970 through a Bengali filmmaker and a General of the Military regime of Pakistan. The last episode of the series, Bunker Boy, is based on the fight between Mukti Bahini and Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.

Reception
Panos Kotzathanasis of Asian Movie Plus wrote: "the quality of the series is definitely much above the average TV series, both in context and production values, with the second episode thriving on the first aspect and the third in the second, although the quality is evident in all three".[6] In her review for The Business Standard Fatima Nujhat Quaderi described Jaago Bahey as, "Chorki's new original miniseries 'Jaago Bahey' comes like a breath of fresh air that can teach the new generation about the Liberation War of 1971 that gave birth to the independent nation of Bangladesh".[7]
