Importing films
This is in reference to our prime minister banning sub-continental films in Bangladesh which seems to have been welcomed by many people. I however beg to differ. This also bans our freedom and our right to choose what we want to watch considering the fact that we live in a free country.
Moreover, bringing the sub-continental films to Bangladesh will also create a sense of competition with Bengali films and performers. At the moment, Bengali films are of poor quality.
Middle and upper class people don't even go to movie theatres because of such third class films. Therefore, I believe that bringing films from other countries to Bangladesh may be a good thing in the sense that it may bring about improvement and quality in our own films. This will also encourage the more educated people to go to theatres and watch better quality Bengali films.
This will also make Bengali artists realize how over-weight and out of shape they are getting.
