The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is all set to kick off today, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) implementing various plans to make this year's tournament unforgettable. Among these efforts, the board organised a concert to promote the BPL nationwide. Additionally, several participating teams have introduced their own theme songs.
In 2024, Bangladeshi web series and films flourished across OTT platforms, bringing fresh talent to the forefront while revitalising the careers of seasoned actors. Strong, character-driven content allowed these 10 actors and directors to break through, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and reshaping the country's OTT landscape.
This year, an estimated 50 Bangladeshi films have been released. Among these, only a handful have achieved commercial success. Then again, despite not performing well at the box office, other cinematic aspects like actors, actresses, and film songs have managed to remain at the centre of discussions throughout the year.
Tanjin Tisha, known for her striking performances, is making her debut on the Chorki platform with “Ghumpori”. The actress shared her enthusiasm for the project, stating that she chose the film because of its compelling story. “Anyone who hears about or watches this story will be enchanted,” Tisha said. “It would have been a mistake to pass on this project. I believe the audience will love it.”
The song “Laage Ura Dhura” from the Eid special release “Toofan” quickly gained widespread popularity online, upon its release. Featuring vocals by Pritom Hasan and Debosrie Antara, the track has not only been trending in Bangladesh but has also made its mark on YouTube's global trending chart.
Lyricist Shorif Uddin has expressed his frustration, stating that the song, which he had given to Pritom Hasan two years ago for a personal project, was used in the film without his consent. Additionally, another lyricist was added to the credits without his permission.
The movie stars Shakib Khan alongside India's Mimi Chakraborty and Bangladesh's Nabila, with significant roles played by Chanchal Chowdhury, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Gazi Rakayet, Salauddin Lavlu, and Gausul Alam Shaon.
Several movies, songs, and OTT content have hit the screens and digital platforms during Eid ul-Azha, garnering significant attention and applause from audiences. Among them, the spotlight has prominently shone on the movie "Toofan", directed by Raihan Rafi.
The trailer opens with a chilling voiceover from Chanchal Chowdhury, describing the titular character, Toofan, with the lines: "He is not humane, he is not savage either, Toofan is what he wanted to be…monster (rakkhosh)." This sets the tone for the dark and intense journey of Toofan, portrayed by Shakib Khan, from his adolescence to his rise as a notorious national-level criminal.
In a teaser video posted on different social media platforms on Monday, Chorki gives a glimpse of the beaming romance between the fresh pairing of renowned musician Pritom Hasan and actress Tasnia Farin on screen, shot at picturesque locations of Bangladesh and Australia.
In the year 2023, there was a notable preference for Bangla songs amongst the audience, with several catchy ones gaining popularity. It is noteworthy that listeners actively engaged with and discussed Bengali songs, marking a significant accomplishment this year. There was a relatively lower release of new songs by production houses as their emphasis shifted towards drama production. Despite this, listeners continued to enjoy and appreciate the existing Bengali tracks.
The concert, titled “Bijoy Ullash”, is going to take place at Jamuna Future Park’s Players Club on Friday, December 15, from 2 PM to 10 PM.
