Whenever Shah Rukh Khan's or any Bollywood film is released, a significant number of Bangladeshi viewers opt to travel to India to watch the movie. Hall owners believe that releasing these films simultaneously in Bangladesh would be beneficial for our country.
After “Poran” and “Hawa”, no other movies have been able to successfully do business in theatres. After the release of these two movies, many Bangla films have been released over the last three months. However, these movies did not fare well commercially at the theatres.
The leaders of Bangladesh Film Exhibitors’ Association have demanded an import of Indian cinema, as they fear of incurring losses due to a lack of quality Bangla cinemas. On May 12, the leaders of the association had raised this topic in a meeting with the Minister of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, Dr. Hasan Mahmud, MP. Sudip Kumar Das, Chief Advisor to the
Saikat Nasir directorial film “Talash” and Anonno Mamun’s “Omanush” were released last Friday (June 17). Both movies received lukewarm response in theatres, and the films failed miserably in capturing the attention of audiences across cinema halls.
Mamnun Hasan Emon and Zakia Bari Mamo starrer “Agamikal” failed miserably in the theatres. The movie was released to lack lustre promotion on June 3 and couldn’t fare well across the movie theatres. Various cinema halls have confirmed that only 4 or 5 people came to watch the film.
