The magic of Eid-ul-Adha continues to reverberate across theatres in Bangladesh as five Eid films mark their triumphant 50-day journey on the silver screen. On the occasion of Eid, five films were released in theatres– Himel Ashraf's "Priyotoma," Raihan Rafi's "Shurongo," Bandhan Biswas' "Laal Shari," Chayanika Chowdhury's "Prohelika," and Saikat Nasir's "Casino." These movies, each with its own unique narrative and style, crossed the 50-day milestone.
Directed by Saikat Nasir, the gripping story of "Casino" revolves around the operations targeting illegal casinos and money laundering in Bangladesh in 2019, adding an intriguing twist to the plot.

She also rocked the OTT platform with her performance in Chorki’s web series “Jodi Ami Beche Phiri”, and in Hoichoi original web series “Buker Moddhye Agun”. She is also in the talks with more OTT projects to be announced soon.
Moreover, shows for Bubly and Nirab Hossain featurette "Casino" have been decreased by 15 halls. It was released in 16 halls across the country.
