Filmmakers eye 16 releases this Eid

The country’s film industry traditionally sees renewed momentum during the two Eid festivals each year. While interest in theatrical releases often remains subdued for the rest of the year, filmmakers typically rush to secure Eid slots. This trend has continued for several years. Last year, six films were released during each Eid, totalling 12. This time, however, the number may surpass that figure during Eid-ul-Fitr alone, with as many as 16 films currently aiming for release. Despite Ramadan having begun, promotional campaigns for most of these films have yet to start.

‘Utshob’ and the art of tenderness

For anyone who grew up “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, “Utshob” is a warm wave of nostalgia. For those raised in 1990s Bangladesh -- whether or not they’re familiar with Dickens -- the film offers a loving nod to the dramas and films of that era. And even for viewers with no emotional ties to either Dickens or the 90s, this film still feels like a two-hour-long hug, a very warm one.
