Women are not spoils of war, stop letting your inner animals out: Jaya Ahsan

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.

'Many women uphold a male-dominated society': Jaya on patriarchy in cinema

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.

Jaya Ahsan’s fourth film in three months set for July release

“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.

‘Utshob’ earns over Tk 1cr in 10 days

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.

Review / ‘Utshob’ and the art of tenderness

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.

Local Eid releases fare at the box office

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.
