Television channels pull out all the stops during Eid, offering a colourful blend of dramas, musical shows, film premieres, and special children’s programmes to keep viewers engaged throughout the festivities. As the most widely accessible medium, TV networks curate a vibrant schedule of fiction and entertainment centred around the joy of Eid.
ATN Bangla has announced an eight-day special programming schedule to celebrate Eid-u-Fitr featuring 30 dramas, 8 telefilms, and 15 films. The channel will moreover host the TV premiere of seven Bangladeshi movies as part of the lineup.
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.
The film industry continues to face significant challenges as most cinemas remain closed, and the few that have reopened are struggling due to a lack of new releases. Filmmakers are hesitant to debut their projects in this climate, forcing theatre owners to rely on screening older films.
Making the announcement Arshad Adnan disclosed that “Shaheb” will be directed by emerging filmmaker Saif Chandan, with Himel Ashraf serving as the film's advisor. The film is slated for release on Eid next year.
Himel Ashraf’s directorial "Rajkumar," released last Eid-ul-Fitr, showcased Shakib Khan in a new light, impressing audiences.
The release of “Rajkumar” in Bangladesh has been creating quite a stir, with critics suggesting it ranks amongst Shakib Khan starrer top five films. The film is currently running in theatres across America, alongside Italy, and Australia.
Superstar Shakib Khan paid a courtesy visit to the Chief of the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Harun Or Rashid, on Saturday.
To the disappointment of fans, the trailer was not unveiled as planned. Instead, the makers surprised audiences by releasing the movie's title track.
Through its riveting melody, we witness the Dhallywood superstar romancing the beautiful Courtney Coffey amidst the vibrant streets of New York.
To mark this joyous occasion, some of his ardent fans, who adoringly call themselves “Shakibians” in the USA, have gone as far as to rent a billboard at New York’s iconic Times Square adorned with Shakib Khan's portrait along with heartfelt birthday wishes.
“Rajkumar” will be released this Eid, and the filmmakers have plans to release it in the USA, the UK, Canada, and India amongst other countries later on.
Director Himel Ashraf's much-awaited film “Rajkumar” is set to hit the screens this Eid-ul-Fitr. The shooting for the film took place across various locations including Dhaka, Pabna, Sajek, India, and the United States.
Versatile Media, the production company behind the film, disclosed this information today (March 20) at a press conference for the film.
The Balam-Konal duo gained skyrocketing popularity for their vocals in the romantic title track “O Priyotoma” from superstar Shakib Khan's film “Priyotoma”. Now, they are back to deliver another possible hit as they lent their vocals to the title track for the highly anticipated film “Rajkumar”, also starring Shakib Khan.
Director Himel Ashraf commenced shooting for the Shakib Khan starrer “Rajkumar”, after the success of “Priyotoma” — the director’s first time working with the Dhallywood star. The filming of “Rajkumar”, produced by Arshad Adnan, concluded last month. This film, which marks the trio's second collaboration, is all set for release during the upcoming Eid.
As Eid approaches, Shakib is gearing up for the occasion with his upcoming film “Rajkumar”, directed by Himel Ashraf. Additionally, announcements for several other movies slated for Eid releases have been made. Amongst them are three films starring Sariful Razz– “Omar”, “Dewaler Desh”, and “Kajol Rekha”. Furthermore, there are other films such as Jaaz Multimedia's production “Potu” and another titled “Meghna Konya,” amongst a few others.
