Bhumi Gallery in Lalmatia unveiled Mahmudur Rahman Dipon’s third solo visual art exhibition, “The Moments”, on a cloudy summer evening, July 4, 2025. The inauguration welcomed eminent artist and Professor Emeritus Rafiqun Nabi as the chief guest. Renowned Bangladeshi actress Jaya Ahsan graced the event as the special guest, bringing all her starlight. The event marked a celebration of Dipon’s evolving creative journey, featuring an array of compelling works across different media.
For the first time in her career, Jaya Ahsan steps into the role of a mother in “Dear Maa”, the latest film by acclaimed director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. Unveiled last evening, the trailer offers a poignant preview of the film’s intense exploration of a mother-daughter relationship.
What was supposed to be a conversation on Jaya’s spectacular success in both “Taandob” and “Utshob” soon turned into a pseudo-political discussion on the future of women in the country. How could it not? The entire country has meanwhile been shaken to its core after the brutal rape of a woman in Cumilla.
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.
“Dear Maa” stars Jaya alongside Chandan Roy Sanyal in the lead roles, with an ensemble cast featuring Saswata Chatterjee, Dhritiman Chatterjee, and Malayalam actor Padmapriya Janakiraman. According to the director, while the plot revolves around a young daughter and her parents, the film also explores other complex relationships within a modern family dynamic.
Tanim Noor’s Eid release “Utshob” has emerged as a box office success, earning over Tk 1.14 crore within just 10 days of its theatrical run. The film, which continues to draw strong audience response, is now gearing up for international release.
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.
Six films were released across cinemas in Bangladesh this Eid. Among them, “Taandob”, starring Shakib Khan and directed by Raihan Rafi, has led the charts from Eid day through the fifth day of the holiday. The film was released in 133 theatres nationwide, with midnight screenings (12am–3am) running in venues such as Chhaya Bani in Mymensingh, Rajtilok in Rajshahi, and Modhubon Cineplex in Bogura.
The family entertainer “Utshob” is winning over audiences, drawing packed houses at Star Cineplex.
In a delightful gesture, beloved actress Jaya Ahsan recently expressed her admiration for the highly anticipated Eid film, "Prohelika", directed by Chayanika Chowdhury.
Under Arindam Sil’s direction, Jaya donned the character of Charu Sen in "Aborto", which was released in 2013.
Jaya Ahsan, who has carved a place into the hearts of audiences in both Bengals, has once again proved that she is the queen of silver screen. Her film "Ardhangini" has earned a whopping BDT 2 crores in 10 days of its release.
Equally popular in both Bengals, Jaya Ahsan, has been making a mark in the Tollywood industry for the past 10 years. Kolkata has become her second home as she garnered awards, respect, and the love of the Kolkata people through her artistic endeavors. Yesterday, her latest film, "Ardhangini" directed by Kaushik Ganguly, released in Kolkata. She is currently there, promoting her film.

Recently, a baby elephant was killed after being hit by a train in Dhaka's Uttara area on May 17. Their mahout was walking two elephants along the rail tracks, when the train hit and killed one of the elephants, and the mahout fled the scene immediately with the other elephant.
