Notun Kuri (Bengali: নতুন কুঁড়ি, lit. 'New Bud') is a Bangladeshi reality television competition series for child artistes created by Mustafa Monwar.[1] It was first launched in 1966 on Pakistan Television, where it was broadcast live on a limited scale. At that time, the program was not presented as a talent search competition in the modern sense for children and adolescents. After the independence of Bangladesh, in 1976, the show was revived on Bangladesh Television (BTV) under the direction of Mustafa Monwar as a national television competition, continuing until 2005.[2]
The program’s title was taken from the poem Kishore (“Adolescent”) by poet Golam Mostofa, the first fifteen lines of which were used as the show’s opening theme song.
