Breaking the usual rule of up to two films being released on the same day, three highly anticipated Bangladeshi films are set to hit cinemas this Friday. While typically, only two films can be released on non-festival days, the industry is making an exception. This week, audiences can look forward to Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s political satire “840: The Great Bangla Democracy Pvt. Ltd”, Belal Sani’s sci-fi horror “Danger Zone,” and Shabnam Parvin’s comedy “Hurmoti”.
Opening with a biting question—“When a man wins an election with 103% of the vote, what does he ask for next?”—the 3-minute trailer sets the stage for a sharp critique of political corruption. Nasir Uddin Khan, in the lead role, plays a flawed, power-hungry politician who will go to any lengths to secure public support and win a mayoral election.
