Netflix is preparing to revive another beloved classic TV series. According to Deadline, the streaming platform has finalised a deal with Legendary Television to reboot “Land of the Lost”, the 1974 science fiction adventure series originally created by Sid and Marty Krofft.
Describing the selection as “a moment of pride for our young filmmaker,” the ministry pledged to finance air travel for a member of the film delegation to Karlovy Vary. Adviser Farooki emphasised that the ministry will continue encouraging Bangladeshi talents in music, cinema, photography, theatre, and architecture who gain international recognition.
The actor was admitted to a hospital in Dhaka with pneumonia on June 6, just a day before Eid-ul-Azha, and was unable to join his co-stars in the film’s promotional campaign. From his hospital bed, he watched reviews pour in and audiences respond with warmth—something he described as profoundly moving.
Known for choosing diverse roles, Shuvoo explained, “Films come in all forms. I’ve always tried to explore different dimensions through different stories. That’s why I joined ‘NeelChokro’. If every film was like ‘Mission Extreme’, ‘Dhaka Attack’ or ‘Chuye Dile Mon’, you’d be bored. This one is a different kind of story.”
Popular actresses Sabila Nur and Tasnia Farin have been dominating the Eid-ul-Azha box office with their commercial film releases, “Taandob” and “Insaaf”. Both films have sparked widespread discussions across social media and among filmgoers, mostly in praise of the actresses’ performances.
There’s fresh hope for fans of Netflix’s acclaimed crime drama “Mindhunter”. Holt McCallany, who played FBI agent Bill Tench in the series, revealed in an interview with CBR that creator David Fincher is considering reviving the show, not as a third season, but as a trilogy of feature-length films.
Jeremy Allen White steps into the shoes of Bruce Springsteen in the first trailer for “Deliver Me From Nowhere”. The biographical drama, written and directed by Scott Cooper, will be released in theatres on October 24 under 20th Century Studios.
After a long hiatus, Shakib Khan and Jaya Ahsan have reunited on screen for the film “Taandob”, which has become a talking point since its release this Eid-ul-Azha. Ahead of the film’s premiere, Jaya praised Shakib during a press conference, and once again, in a recent interview with Kolkata-based daily Anandabazar, the actress lauded the Dhallywood star.
Bollywood icon Aamir Khan has strongly condemned the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, stating that those responsible cannot be considered followers of Islam. In an interview with India TV, the actor denounced any association of the religion with violence, reiterating that Islam stands firmly for peace and humanity.
Following its successful domestic run, the family drama “Utshob”, which was released during Eid, is now set for an international release. The film has already struck a chord with urban audiences, with most screenings at local multiplexes going houseful. In its second week, showtimes have been increased to meet growing demand.
For anyone who grew up “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, “Utshob” is a warm wave of nostalgia. For those raised in 1990s Bangladesh -- whether or not they’re familiar with Dickens -- the film offers a loving nod to the dramas and films of that era. And even for viewers with no emotional ties to either Dickens or the 90s, this film still feels like a two-hour-long hug, a very warm one.
Bollywood has long been fascinated with father figures; stern, stoic, often feared, and rarely understood. But with time, the lenses and stories have softened. Over the last decade, a quiet evolution has been brewing on the big screen, one where the father is no longer just the breadwinner, disciplinarian or an almost antihero. He is a confidant, a co-conspirator, and, in many ways, a student of love, learning to grow with his children. This Father’s Day, we look at some iconic characters who challenged the rigid moulds of patriarchy, through their presence, patience, and a willingness to change. These are not heroes in capes, but fathers who became heroic simply by listening, learning, and loving better.
Hollywood heavyweights took to the streets this weekend, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with protesters under the bold rallying cry of “No Kings”. Their message: resistance to authoritarianism and unity for democracy, just hours before President Donald Trump’s military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the US Army and his birthday.
Released in 133 theatres across Bangladesh, “Taandob” quickly captured the audience’s attention with its high-octane plot, gritty tone, and surprise cameos from Afran Nisho and Siam Ahmed.
Today marks World Father’s Day, observed globally on the third Sunday of June to honour the unconditional love, strength, and sacrifice of fathers. Commemorating this special day, a touching drama titled “Babar Chaya” is out on YouTube now.
“I would describe ‘Utshob’ as an independent commercial film,” he explained, “because I faced quite a struggle finding producers for it. I’m deeply grateful to my wife Shormila Akter, director and producer Shakeeb Fahad, and, last but not least, Chorki, who believed in me and stood by me throughout the journey.”
Gary Oldman, the versatile actor who won an Oscar for “Darkest Hour” and captivates viewers in “Slow Horses”, has been knighted by King Charles III in the monarch’s birthday honours.
National Award-winning actress Azmeri Haque Badhan is earning praise for her latest film “Esha Murder”, which premiered on Eid-ul-Azha and is directed by Sunny Sanwar. Badhan takes on the leading role of a police officer in this woman-centric thriller, and the actress has since been immersed in promotions—appearing on TV, visiting theatres, and speaking with the press.
