2022 Roundup: A year of revival for our film industry

The Bangladeshi film industry is witnessing a new wave of resurgence and popularity as a handful of cinemas were houseful this year. A total of 50 films have released in 2022.

‘Hawa’ to release across India this month

Mejbaur Rahman Sumon directorial film “Hawa” broke many records domestically as one of the most successful films in recent years.

bluebutton.lifestyle – the latest buzz in Dhaka

The fashionistas of Dhaka are certainly aware, that there is a new lifestyle store in the capital, by the name of bluebutton.lifestyle. Pictures of beautiful models including the famous Hawa movie heroine Nazifa Tushi have been making rounds in social media recently, sporting beautiful jumpsuits, blazers, three-piece suits and long frocks in traditional prints, including Jamdani prints.

Revival of the Bangladeshi wedding fashion industry

The high-end local bridal and groom’s clothing industry is relatively new. Targeting a very niche consumer base, brands like Aarong and Mayasir, and shops at Mirpur Benaroshi Polli started bringing their wedding attire lines to the forefront, offering customers for the first-time, luxury wedding outfits that were completely local, if not a bit limited in their offerings.

FROM PAGES TO PIXELS / Why ‘Hawa’ reminded me of Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’

The song “Shada Shada Kala Kala” seems almost like a visual rendition of “the merry minstrelsy” that breaks out in front of the bride as red as a rose.

The joy of going to cinemas is coming back

Gone are the days of torn seats, dirty, mucky floors and stale potato chips. And the recent hit releases like Poran, or Hawa have multiplied the craze for local films. Imagine queuing up for four straight days to buy the tickets for the latest superhit without success; this says so much of the upgradation from cheap vulgar commercial releases to good scripts, awesome acting, great cinematography and the commitment to give you unquestionable entertainment.

Bangla movie HAWA, crowd favourite GULTI and the magic of cinema

Hawa is a Bangladeshi mystery-drama film, written and directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon. The film is produced by Facecard Productions and Sun Music & Motion Pictures Limited and has become one of the trendiest movies of the year. The film stars Chanchal Chowdhury as Chan Majhi, Nazifa Tushi as Gulti, and Sariful Razz as Ibrahim or Iba, amongst others. A few days ago, Gulti, a protagonist of the trending movie Hawa, sat amongst the crowd at Chitra Mahal cinema hall in Old Dhaka, to relive the magic of cinema amongst real men.

Hawa sari, t-shirts and merchandise: secret behind the fascination

If you are thinking that Hawa, the Chanchal Chowdhury and Nazifa Tushi starrer is simply facing the first few days of success, that is usual of any good movie, then you are simply clueless. The movie written and directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon is facing an implausible triumph, one that is only synonymous with blockbuster hits. Fans had gone wild even before the movie was released. They were wearing the Hawa sari, and Hawa T-shirts, carrying the Hawa merchandise and even humming to the famous ‘Shada-Kala’ tune while boarding a rickshaw. It’s as if the film had created a cult following, who were hung up on setting the records straight for once: that Bangladeshi movies could generate a buzz similar to any of their global counterpart.
