The film is set to hit Pakistani theatres today (January 3), as confirmed by the director himself through a Facebook post. Released during last Eid-ul-Fitr, the movie has already toured several countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. In Pakistan, the distribution is being handled by the American company Avail Entertainment.
This year, an estimated 50 Bangladeshi films have been released. Among these, only a handful have achieved commercial success. Then again, despite not performing well at the box office, other cinematic aspects like actors, actresses, and film songs have managed to remain at the centre of discussions throughout the year.
Star Cineplex, a leading choice for cinema enthusiasts with refined tastes, has maintained its position as a crowd favourite. While Hollywood films dominated the scene a few years ago, the rising wave of Bangladeshi cinema has gradually shifted the spotlight.
A variety of films have graced the silver screen—some commercially successful, others not quite so. Let’s bid adieu to the year, as we look back at some of its film offerings.
Evergreen actor Afzal Hossain has been enjoying a delightful stay in the United States with his family. The star has been spotted spending quality time with his wife and children. During his stay in America, the actor took the opportunity to catch a Bangladeshi film at the theatre, and it was none other than the "Deyaler Desh".
“Deyaler Desh”, a government grant-winning film co-produced by Metro Cinema, also stars Azizul Hakim, Shahdat Hossain, Shamapti Mashuk, and Swagata, amongst others.
The controversy has escalated with the abrupt replacement of these local hits with foreign movies, despite the scheduled release of new Bengali films like "Shyama Kabya" and "Dead Body".
Following the release of 11 Dhallywood films for and on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, there have been changes in the line-up of movies still screened during the third week. Certain theatres have witnessed a decrease in screenings, while others have seen an increase. Additionally, there's been varied buzz surrounding different films, with some garnering more attention than others.
With her magnetic presence in films and television, Zinat Sanu Swagata has carved a niche for herself, captivating audiences with her acting prowess, hosting charm, and melodic voice. Her recent silver screen project, “Deyaler Desh”, directed by Mishuk Moni, emerged as a standout amidst the flurry of releases this Eid-ul-Fitr. Despite the saturation, the film resonated deeply with viewers.
Both Bubly and Razz have gained widespread appreciation for their performances. Leading up to its release, the movie's poster, trailer, and songs had already captivated fans.
The recent Eid-ul-Fitr festivities have witnessed the release of 11 new films across the country. Among these, eight Bangla films are being screened at Star Cineplex, with director Mishuk Moni's "Deyaler Desh" drawing the highest attendance.
This Eid-ul-Fitr, an astounding number of films–totalling 11– were released, offering a wide selection for movie-goers. Amongst them, the Shakib Khan starrer “Rajkumar” is predictably leading in earnings in its first week. Directed by Himel Ashraf, the film premiered in a record-breaking 127 cinemas and has been selling out in all multiplexes since its opening day. It is also performing strongly in single-screen theatres.
Amid concerns over the prevailing industry and hall allocation challenges, it was speculated that several of these films might withdraw from the scheduled release.
Actress Shobnom Bubly has been in the spotlight during the Eid season with her appearances on Nagorik TV. The first episode of the show “Bola Na Bola” was recently broadcast, where she openly shared insights into her personal experiences involving Shakib Khan, Apu Biswas, and their children.
The movie trailer depicts Razz and Bubly, two working-class individuals deeply in love, until tragedy strikes with Bubly's sudden demise.
As these stars are busy promoting their respective films, adding to the hype, Shakib Khan’s former partner in life, Shobnom Yesmin Bubly, has recently talked about her relationship with the superstar in a telltale interview with renowned journalist Kamruzzaman Babu.
Star Cineplex plans to showcase a curated selection of eight movies from the lineup.
This year, with more than 15 new films slated for release on the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, many A-List showbiz celebrities are to grace the silver screen with their latest offerings for audiences.
Yesterday, the film released its first song, "Beche Jaoa Bhalobasa," evoking a deep emotional resonance.
