Actor Afran Nisho has been a subject of widespread discussion and appreciation this year, courtesy of his commendable performance in his debut silver screen project, "Shurongo". Since then, he has found himself inundated with numerous scripts and film proposals, even from the other Bengal across the border.
Shahiduzzaman Selim's recent films, “Shurongo” and “Priyotoma”, generated significant buzz, and at present, he's gracing the screen in two new cinematic ventures, “Omar” and “Lipstick”. The actor recently shared some of his insights about the entertainment industry with The Daily Star.
Released during Eid, "Shurongo" gained an overwhelming response from moviegoers, with theatres across the country, including Dhaka, filling up within weeks of its release. This wave of success, however, has now extended beyond theatres to make a mark on OTT platforms.
One of the highest grossing films of Last Eid Ul Adha, can now be enjoyed on a global scale as an extended version of “Shurongo” will soon be released on Chorki. Directed by Raihan Rafi, the film marks Afran Nisho’s debut into the silver screen.
The magic of Eid-ul-Adha continues to reverberate across theatres in Bangladesh as five Eid films mark their triumphant 50-day journey on the silver screen. On the occasion of Eid, five films were released in theatres– Himel Ashraf's "Priyotoma," Raihan Rafi's "Shurongo," Bandhan Biswas' "Laal Shari," Chayanika Chowdhury's "Prohelika," and Saikat Nasir's "Casino." These movies, each with its own unique narrative and style, crossed the 50-day milestone.
Tama Mirza is on cloud nine with the thunderous response to “Shurongo”. Even in its sixth week, the film is running successfully across theatres. It is also doing well in Kolkata, USA and Canada.
Recently, Star Cineplex has released the list of top 10 movies of Star Cineplex for the month of July. And two Bangladeshi films have spotted the top two positions, beating top Hollywood big-budget movies.

Eid-ul-Azha has brought a wave of excitement and anticipation for movie enthusiasts across the country as five highly-anticipated films hit the screens in 171 theatres, including multiplexes. Among these releases, Afran Nisho's debut film, “Shurongo,” has become the talk of the town, particularly at Star Cineplex, where it has set a remarkable record for the number of shows on the third day of Eid.
"Shurongo," starring Afran Nisho and Tama Mirza, has become the talk of the town both locally and abroad. The buzz surrounding the film has reached new heights as it prepares for a much-anticipated release in theatres across India, the USA, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East.
Prior to "Shurongo's" release, he also wished Nisho, "All the very best to my darling Nisho for his debut film Shurongo releasing on this Eid. I know you're here to stay. Rick on the silver screen."
"Shurongo" was released across the country yesterday, has increased the shows on the second day due to the audiences' demand.
While Siam Ahmed's highly anticipated film "Antarjal" won't be hitting the screens this Eid ul Azha, the talented actor made sure to send his best wishes to all the actors whose movies are releasing today.
Director Raihan Rafi expressed his gratitude to the audience for the overwhelming response to the advance ticket sales of his upcoming film "Shurongo."

When Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster "Pathaan" was released on May 12, many thought that it would single-handedly rejuvenate Bangladeshi halls, but even though the film performed well in multiplexes, the single-screen performance of the film left a lot to be desired.
