Filmmaker Ashfaque Nipun has, for the first time, declined his appointment to the censor board. He announced the decision in a Facebook post last Sunday night.

Upon receiving the concerning letter today noon, the director of the web-film, Raihan Rafi, pressed home his protest and concern over the undue censorship of the film’s content, stating it is against the creative freedom of filmmakers.

The release of the Raihan Rafi directorial much-anticipated film "Omimangshito" has been halted by the Bangladesh Film Censor Board due to allegations of depicting real-life gruesome murder incidents.

A week of the ongoing year 2024 may have passed so far but there have not been any releases of Bangla movies at the theatres thereby pointing toward a stale beginning of the new year.

"Mujib: The Making of a Nation", the biopic of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has received permission from Bangladesh Film Censor Board to be released.

On a global scale, there are very few Censor Boards, rather it is more common for countries to have Certification Boards.
