Amid the box‑office success, reports emerged that an HD copy of “Taandob” had been leaked on YouTube and other platforms. In response, the production company adopted a hard line. The producer, Shahriar Shakil, filed a complaint with the police seeking legal action under copyright legislation, and detectives have now arrested three suspects in connection with the piracy. At around 11:45 am today (Wednesday), Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Branch (DB) Joint Commissioner Nasirul Islam confirmed the arrests to Prothom Alo.
Released in 133 theatres across Bangladesh, “Taandob” quickly captured the audience’s attention with its high-octane plot, gritty tone, and surprise cameos from Afran Nisho and Siam Ahmed.
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.
In light of this overwhelming local demand, the film is now set for overseas audiences. Starting today, the film will begin screening across more than 50 cinemas in Europe, America, and Canada in a phased schedule. Notably, the overseas distribution is being managed by BiosKope Films.
This Eid-ul-Azha, actress Jaya Ahsan returned to the silver screen with two new films—“Taandob”, directed by Raihan Rafi, and “Utshob”, directed by Tanim Noor. Since Eid day, she has been visiting various theatres across the country as part of the promotional campaign.
It was during the school-free weekends when my maternal cousins and I would huddle in front of our grandparents' grey old box TV after a hearty, yet customary lunch arrangement at their place. We would take up the gap on the floor between their king-sized bed and the unforgettable TV set to watch the black and white Satyajit Ray films, and even the vibrant late 20th-century Bangladeshi cinema, previously defined by over-the-top performances. The adults would lounge about on the bed, imbuing us with not only the significance of family viewing content but also a perception of what we understood as “our cinematic language.”
As “Taandob” gears up for its theatrical release this Eid, a special press conference was held at a hotel in Dhaka’s Gulshan, featuring the film’s core cast and crew.
Regarding her experience working with Shakib Khan, Jaya shared, “Shakib Khan is a major star in our industry. I must say, he’s doing exceptionally well. Although we shared screen previously, this time while working on ‘Taandob’, I noticed he has become even more dedicated and serious about his craft.”
Dhaka’s film producers have reached a consensus on the demand for a fair share of revenue from cinema halls. On Wednesday (May 14) afternoon, several producers held a meeting at a restaurant in Gulshan-2 to address this long-standing issue. Photos from the meeting were later shared on social media.
Nisho will be making his silver screen debut—opposite the actress Tama Mirza—through this film.
Inspired by true events, the film stars Mohammad Bari, Farzana Chobi, Njilanjana Nil, and Aditi in various roles. The film will be released on March 1 on Binge.
Audiences have found the poster to be similar to the one of Oscar winning South Korean film, “Parasite”. Not only that, Netflix documentary “House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths” also features a similar poster,
Tama Mirza currently has two web-series awaiting release—“Buker Modhe Agun” and “Friday”. The actress described her character in “Buker Modhe Agun'' to be a difficult one, the kind she has not played before.
After signing on for his debut film, which has been titled “Shurongo”, Afran Nisho is finally set to start shooting for the project from February 17. The shooting will take place in Sylhet over a period of 35 days.
Even seven months after its theatrical release, the craze for Raihan Rafi’s “Poran” does not seem to be slowing down. Now, the Sariful Razz, Yash Rohan and Bidya Sinha Mim starrer is all set to appear in Canadian cinema halls, starting February 3. The news was confirmed by the director of the film, Raihan Rafi himself.
After announcing his debut film “Shurongo”, Afran Nisho has signed up for his second film “Kalpurush”. The news has been confirmed by the production company of the film.
It seems Dhallywood celebrities can’t seem to get enough of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa- While Bidya Sinha Mim is already vacationing in Dubai with her husband and family. Pori and Razz also have plans to attend an award ceremony in Dubai on January 15.
Raihan Rafi's film “Damal” was released in Bangladesh on October 28. Now, the movie will make its way to theatres in the US.
A few days ago, actress Pori Moni publicly expressed her distaste when her husband Sariful Razz held the hand of co-star Bidya Sinha Mim, at a promotional event for their film “Damal”. Now, Pori has shocked everyone by publicly tagging Raihan Rafi and Mim in what can only be described as a rage-fuelled status.
