Aaj Robibar

Bangladesh Television, in the past, was more than just a channel – it was a tradition. From the 80s and 90s, it aired some absolute classics such as Aaj Robibar, Ei Shob Din Ratri, Rahu and Ami Shey Tumi Shey. These television dramas have aged well, as the contexts and messages that they delivered still stand. Actors such as Asaduzzaman Noor, Aly Zaker, Zahid Hasan, Ahsan Ali Sidney, Tarana Halim and Shomi Kaiser weaved their magic at that time, and they are mostly available on YouTube on BTV and other channels.

Panch Phoron

Classic Bangladeshi films like Moynamoti, Titash Ekti Nodir Naam, Ashami, as well as contemporary ones, such as Bachelor and the recent Dhaka Attack are also available on YouTube.

Money Honey

Many streaming sites, such as Hoichoi, iflix and Bioscope, among others, are also providing top-notch content in high definition, for reasonable subscription fees. Hoichoi's Panch Phoron, released on Valentine's Day, is a joint effort by directors from India and Bangladesh to present love stories which are different and off-the-cuff. Giasuddin Selim's Three Kisses and Nurul Alam Atique's Donor have both been praised for their surprisingly high quality of work. Rahasya Romancha, Money Honey and Ghorey Baire Aaj can provide days of entertainment as well.

On the other hand, iflix provides a plethora of movies and series from both home and abroad. Licensed dubs of popular Korean shows are available on the streaming site, alongside exclusive access to films like 700 Taka, Ke? and Sheshta Shobai Jaane.
