Box Office Hits of 2017 - At a Glance
Dhaka Attack
Dhaka Attack was arguably this year's biggest hit. The plot, cast, crew, settings and technicality- everything deserves a thumb up for the smooth execution. Arefin Shuvo and Mahiya Mahi received enormous love and support from the audience. Taskin Rahman earned the title of the coolest villain after the film release, with Dipankar Dipan being recognized for his wonderful job as the Director. Dhaka Attack ran for a long time in the cinema halls due to its high public demand. Full of action, drama and suspense, this film moved Bengali movie lovers with its plot and settings.
Nabab
The King of Dhallywood made a comeback with another sensational hit this year. While Rajneeti has made its mark in the mind of the fans, Nabab was the film that truly reminded everyone what Shakib is capable of. Nabab splashed the box office soon after its release and was praised by many critics for its plot, cast and cinematography. Shakib's acting and striking looks had left many jaws dropped on the floor, and coupled with the success he gained from Rajneeti, it is safe to say that 2017 was a successful year for Shakib Khan.
Doob
To many, the most controversial movie of the year was Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's Doob. The controversy was fueled due to the plot's similarity with the life of our beloved writer Humayun Ahmed. The protagonist Irrfan Khan pulled off his character with charismatic acting and portrayed Javed Hasan's midlife crisis accordingly. Tisha, Rokeya Prachy and Parno Mittra played the prominent female characters and displayed impressive acting as well. Doob won the Kommersant Weekend Prize and has been nominated for the Moscow Film Festival Prize for Best Film, Director, Actor and Actress.
Premi O Premi
Zakir Hossen Raju's Premi O Premi also won numerous hearts this year. Arefin Shuvo and Nusrat Faria coupled up for this film, and they simply looked great together! This was a successful movie with a surprising plot-twist balanced with colourful settings. Premi O Premi also hit the box office and ran for a long time in the theatres. Both the actors' performances were applauded by the critics and fans.

This film created a buzz among the moviegoers of Bangladesh for its intricate detailed work on settings and story. Celebrated filmmaker Amitabh Reza Chowdhury marked Haldaa as a 'humanitarian deed of the honest Bangla cinema'.
