This Eid-ul-Azha, the young sensation Khairul Basar has graced our screens with 12 television projects, some already aired and others awaiting release. Fresh from the festivities, Basar drops by The Daily Star for a quick chat.

In celebration of Eid-ul-Azha, the tele-film "Tithidor", starring Mehazabien Chowdhury, has officially premiered on Channel i’s YouTube channel. Written by Jahan Sultana and directed by Vicky Jahed, the production features Mehazabien in the role of Nishat, a girl grappling with suicidal thoughts. The actress previously stated that the telefilm's plot emphasises the effects of such struggles on society and families.

Director Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury's film “Boli” (The Wrestler) recently received the limelight on an international scale as it was featured at the Shanghai International Film Festival under the International Panorama category. 

During a theatre visit, Puja remarked, “Releasing a film every Eid is a stroke of luck for an artiste. Last Eid, my film 'Lipstick' was released; this time, it's 'Agantuk', a psychological-thriller. Those who have watched it have praised it.”

“Revenge” and “Dark World” had been playing at Star Cineplex’s branches in Bashundhara City and Sony Square, Mirpur. However, with the audience turnout failing to meet expectations, the management has opted to replace these films with additional screenings of “Toofan” — increasing the on-demand film’s total number of shows to 55.

Whether you're looking for heartfelt dramas, rib-tickling comedies, or cherished old shows, the holiday programming is set to enhance your festive spirit.

The song "Nana-Nati," performed by Aly Hasan and Marzuk Russell, was published on a YouTube channel on June 16. It was written by Aly Hasan, with music composed by both Aly Hasan and Marzuk Russell.

Starring Shakib Khan, "Toofan" carried high expectations even before its release and has not disappointed. Premiering this Eid, the film has already broken records. In a media interview, director Raihan Rafi expressed his excitement and shared insights about the film's success and future plans.

Anticipation soared as Bollywood icon Deepika Padukone, amidst her pregnancy, stunned fans and media alike with a radiant display ahead of the much-awaited “Kalki 2898 AD” pre-release event. The star, renowned for her grace both on-screen and off, took to social media to share a captivating monochrome photo showcasing her burgeoning baby bump.

The "Praktan" actress was asked to present specific documents related to her bank transactions, stated Indian officials.

Popular small screen actress Rukaiya Jahan Chamak, celebrated for her remarkable acting skills, has recently exchanged rings with her husband-to-be. The actress delighted her fans by sharing the cherished moments of this special day on her Facebook.

Directed by Manasi Sinha, the film has already completed 50 days and continues to run in theatres in Kolkata. Now, Tarin is set to star in a new Tollywood film by the same director, titled “5 Number Shopnomoy Lane.” The cast also includes Aparajita Auddy, Kharaj Mukherjee, Arjun Chakraborty, and Annwesha Hazra.

In a remarkable turn of events, Mymensingh’s Chhayabani Cinema held a special midnight screening last Tuesday, a first in the last 20 years, to provide more audiences the opportunity to watch the film, confirms Mohammad Kamal Hossain, the theatre's booking officer.

Television channels have geared up to broadcast a variety of programmes and special dramas on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, as per tradition. In addition to new productions, they have scheduled special screenings of popular films and nostalgic shows. Here's an overview of what to watch today.

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.

Mythri Movie Makers, the production company of the film, explained the delay in a post on their official X handle. They emphasised the heightened responsibility following the success of "Pushpa: The Rise" and assured fans they were working diligently to finish the movie and release it on time.

For over a century, Bollywood has been the cornerstone of India’s visual media landscape, capturing the hearts of the country’s Hindi-speaking population. This dominance often leads to the assumption that Bollywood actors are the highest-paid in India. However, in recent years, the success of films like “Baahubali”, “RRR”, “Pushpa”, and “Arjun Reddy”, among others, have flipped the script. 

The political thriller “Sultanpur”, which premiered in theatres nationwide on June 2 last year, is now slated for release in Hindi. 

Securing a prestigious spot in the main competition for the prestigious Golden Goblet award at one of Asia's premier film festivals, this event marked a significant milestone for Bangladeshi cinema. Director Kamar Ahmad Simon, producer Sara Afreen, and actress Fauzia Karim Anu attended the festival in Shanghai.
