A spontaneous girl, who entered showbiz in 2006 as a model while still in school, quickly made her mark in the industry with grace and charm. Sarika Subrin, a household name for her roles in small-screen dramas, is now making waves on OTT platforms. She has also been the host of the longest-running celebrity show, “Amar Ami”, for four years now.

The film stars newcomer Oisheka Ahmed Oishe in the titular role, with Saif Khan portraying the character Apu. The cast also includes Jhuna Chowdhury, Rasheda Chowdhury, Khalilur Rahman Kaderi, Muna Akter, Arup Kundu, Md Abdur Razzaq, Mohammad Abdul Hamid, Anisur Rahman, and child artiste Simontini Chowdhury, among others.

The screenplay is nothing short of extraordinary. It's hard to imagine such a wild and compelling story coming to life. The film tackles numerous themes, blending body horror with thriller elements while addressing misogyny, ageism, and sexism. It also pays homage to classic horror films like “The Shining” and “Carrie”.

Officially titled "Joker: Folie a Deux," the film is set to debut at Star Cineplex in Bangladesh today for audiences nationwide.

The threat was communicated to the city’s traffic control room via its WhatsApp helpline on Thursday afternoon.

Dressed in a sleek black off-shoulder midi dress, Apte captured the attention of attendees and fans alike, marking her re-entry into the spotlight after a noticeable hiatus from the film industry. While she had not officially announced her pregnancy, her radiant smile and growing baby bump spoke volumes, dispelling the mystery surrounding her absence from public life.

The resurgence of "cut-piece" (short clips with explicit content meshed into Bangladeshi films) clips in Bangladeshi cinema, once a hallmark of its "dark age," has prompted a crackdown by authorities, not too long ago. These explicit and provocative scenes tied into mainstream films alienated audiences, tarnishing the industry’s reputation, especially in the post-2000 era.

From "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" to "Jawan," Shah Rukh Khan has consistently captivated audiences with his acting talent and charismatic smile. People of all ages, from teenagers to elderly women, can never help but fall for his charm.

In all honesty, the filming of the hazed-up and sluggish diplopia, magnified mercilessly by the strong presence of hallucinatory colours resembling questionable club joints and sounds that first seep in vaguely until the individual under the influence, begins hearing properly — has become trite. The fact that an aware audience is easily able to predict the cueing in of an unnecessary drug-addled montage in a project that does not even necessitate such an addition has also become dulling — so much so that I instantly and almost mindlessly give way to a bout of onomatopoeia of disdain.

Director Rezaur Rahman’s “36-24-36,” originally scheduled for release on Chorki in July, was delayed due to the Anti-discrimination Students Movement that took place that month. Now, the OTT platform has shifted its strategy to boost the cinematic industry by opting for theatrical releases. 

Meanwhile, Tasnia Farin’s debut film “Aro Ek Prithibi” was released in Kolkata last year.

The highly anticipated trailer for "Do Patti" has finally been released, showcasing a suspenseful mystery drama starring Kajol and Kriti Sanon. Set against the backdrop of a remote hill town, this Netflix thriller promises an intriguing blend of deception, romance, and sibling rivalry.

The connection between Bollywood and the underworld has been entrenched for decades. The underworld’s infiltration into the film industry began in the 1960s when gangsters like Karim Lala and Haji Mastan emerged as both feared crime bosses and powerful benefactors to the film industry. Lala, known for his kidnapping and drug-trafficking empire, was also seen as the go-to problem solver for Bollywood stars. Dilip Kumar once visited him with actress Helen to seek help in resolving a personal issue, and Lala reportedly handled it with his characteristic efficiency.

Actress and model Sunerah Binte Kamal gained widespread acclaim for her standout role in “No Dorai”. Although she seldom appears in television dramas, she occasionally accepts roles in special productions tied to festivals.

Her recent comeback came with “Dabaghore,” directed by Ragib Ahmed Piyal, signalling her reappearance on the small screen.
