Simon Sadik, National Film Award winner for Best Actor, will be seen in the role of a singer in this movie. The strange poster of the film has given a very different impression to the viewers, which was absent in the poster of Mahir's previous films. After getting the censor clearance, the promotion of the film is going on now. It is time to see whether the movie can win the hearts of movie lovers.
Bottom line
These Bengali movies set to be released in the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha 2022 will undoubtedly increase the joy of Eid. However, due to the lack of big-budget and aspiring superstar movies, the cinema hall authorities are worried. The movies released last Eid-ul-Fitr were able to bring the lost vibe back to the theaters of Bangladesh after overcoming the impact of the Corona epidemic. The Bengali cinephiles will have to wait till Eid-ul-Azha to see if these cinemas can continue that status.
