“Bhoyongkor Sundor” releasing today

“Bhoyongkor Sundor”, one of the most anticipated films of the year, is opening in cinemas across the country today, albeit in a limited release for the first week. Animesh Aich's psychological thriller starring Parambrata Chatterjee and Ashna Habib Bhabna (who  debuts on the big screen) is bowing in eight major halls and multiplexes in Dhaka, and a handful of theatres in other districts. The film premiered at the Star Cineplex in the capital last evening.

Asked about the smaller release, director Animesh Aich said “We could have released it in many more halls, but we wanted to first see the response in the major theatres. If they do well here and the interest among people pique, we will eventually release it to more theatres,” he said. “It's always a bit of a tension, before the release of the film. But I am hopeful. There will be journalists at the premiere, who will share their reviews. Facebook has made it easy for the general audience as well to express their reaction. We will get good reviews, and maybe some bad ones. I am prepared for both,” the director said. He, however said that the response to the music and the trailer have been very positive on social media so far.

Based on Kolkata-based author Mati Nandy's “Joler Ghurni O Bokbok Shobdo”, the film also stars Syed Hasan Imam, Farhana Mithu, Lutfar Rahman George, Faruq Ahmed, Dihan, Allen Shubhro and Samapty Mashuk alongside Bhabna and Parambrata. The film's music was launched recently, which feature four songs -- by Chirrkutt, Momtaz, Tahsan and Elita, and Adit and Shoyeb.

The film is produced by A Square Film Company.
