This year, an estimated 50 Bangladeshi films have been released. Among these, only a handful have achieved commercial success. Then again, despite not performing well at the box office, other cinematic aspects like actors, actresses, and film songs have managed to remain at the centre of discussions throughout the year.

The Balam-Konal duo gained skyrocketing popularity for their vocals in the romantic title track “O Priyotoma” from superstar Shakib Khan's film “Priyotoma”. Now, they are back to deliver another possible hit as they lent their vocals to the title track for the highly anticipated film “Rajkumar”, also starring Shakib Khan.

In the year 2023, there was a notable preference for Bangla songs amongst the audience, with several catchy ones gaining popularity. It is noteworthy that listeners actively engaged with and discussed Bengali songs, marking a significant accomplishment this year. There was a relatively lower release of new songs by production houses as their emphasis shifted towards drama production. Despite this, listeners continued to enjoy and appreciate the existing Bengali tracks.

This year's award ceremony will feature a melodious performance by the duo Balam and Konal, singing their super-hit song "Priyotoma.”

The good news is that, this Eid-ul-Azha, five films were released, and it is a great sign for the industry that the audience are returning to the halls, and appreciating most of the films. At the same time, songs that these films showcase have played a great role as promotions for these films.

Scheduled to be released tonight at 6:30 pm, fans have already flooded the singer’s comment section, expressing their anticipation and well wishes.

For those growing up in the 2000’s, Balam was the name of an emotion. The former Warfaze frontman was thrust into superstardom with his first self-titled album. How is he doing now? The Daily Star catches up.

At a Pohela Boishakh programme held at a restaurant in the capital, LRB resurfaced as 'Balam and the Legacy' to put on a performance in tribute to the late great Ayub Bachchu.

Balam has joined the popular band, LRB as their lead vocalist. The announcement was made on the occasion of the 28th anniversary of the band, at a local café.
