Borbad, Dagi, and Jongli Dominate with Houseful Shows

Six films were released this Eid-ul-Fitr: Borbad, Dagi, Jongli, Jinn 3, Chokkor 302, and Antoratma. Among them, three have generated significant buzz in the first three days.

Shakib Khan’s Borbad, directed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, premiered in up to 120 theaters, including both single screens and multiplexes. It opened with 34 shows at Star Cineplex on Eid day, increasing to 44 shows from the second day. Every show has been sold out, prompting an increase in screenings. At Jamuna Blockbuster, Borbad started with three shows but now runs nine. Bogura’s Madhuban Cineplex even added a midnight show due to high demand. Nationwide, Borbad is being screened 500 times daily, consistently selling out.

The revenge thriller stars Shakib Khan alongside India’s Idhika Paul, with Jisshu Sengupta, Misha Sawdagor, Shahiduzzaman Selim, and Fazlur Rahman Babu in key roles.

Another Eid release, Dagi, featuring Afran Nisho, premiered in 16 theaters. Since its release, the film has seen houseful shows across multiplexes. Producer Shahriar Shakil noted that screenings increased from 34 to 44 in just one day. Directed by Shihab Shaheen, Dagi stars Tama Mirza and Sunerah Binte Kamal.

Siam Ahmed’s Jongli debuted in 11 theaters and now runs in 18 multiplex screenings, all sold out. Directed by M Rahim, the film features Shobnom Bubly and Dighi.

Other releases, Antoratma, Jinn 3, and Chokkor 302, struggled to gain traction due to limited promotion and audience interest.
