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.”
During Eid, TV channels pull out all the stops with a vibrant mix of entertainment—from dramas and musical shows to film premieres and special kids’ content—all tailored for viewers celebrating the occasion. Here’s a quick look at today’s (5th April) must-see highlights.
With six films set for release, securing prime spots in multiplexes and single-screen theatres has turned into a high-stakes negotiation. The last-minute addition of Shakib Khan’s long-delayed "Antaratma" has further complicated matters, forcing some films into an even tighter competition for screen space.
In the first six months of this year, around 30 films have been released in the country, with only a few achieving notable commercial successes. However, several movies and songs have generated significant buzz in the entertainment industry and among audiences.
This year, with more than 15 new films slated for release on the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, many A-List showbiz celebrities are to grace the silver screen with their latest offerings for audiences.
As the joyous occasion of Eid ul Azha arrives, movie enthusiasts across the country are in for a treat as five highly anticipated films hit the silver screen today. With approximately 60 theatres operating regularly, the number has soared to 168 during the Eid festivities, creating a buzz of excitement among cinema-goers.
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.
This Eid we witnessed all sorts of movie genres being released across theaters. Eight films were released among which Shakib Khan starrer "Leader Amie Bangladesh" and Puja Chery's "Jinn" are doing wonders at the cinema hall.
