Following a successful theatrical run during Eid-ul-Azha, two blockbuster Bangladeshi films—“Taandob” and “Utshob”—are now set to stream online, offering an opportunity for those who missed the cinema screenings.

Raihan Rafi’s “Taandob” broke major records upon its theatrical release during Eid-ul-Azha. The star-studded film, featuring Shakib Khan, Jaya Ahsan, Sabila Nur, and Afzal Hossain, was widely loved by audiences.

What was supposed to be a conversation on Jaya’s spectacular success in both “Taandob” and “Utshob” soon turned into a pseudo-political discussion on the future of women in the country. How could it not? The entire country has meanwhile been shaken to its core after the brutal rape of a woman in Cumilla.

“Bangla cinema is now reaching audiences across the globe with honour. At a time when our films are doing well, a vested quarter has launched a conspiracy to destroy this progress. The films that are performing well are being targeted for piracy. I would say, this is not just a conspiracy against our cinema—it’s a conspiracy against the country,” said Dhallywood superstar Shakib Khan.

You might know him as Sameer from Bongo’s “BnG”, or perhaps you recognise him as Jaya Ahsan’s younger brother in “Taandob”—either way, Saad Salmi Naovi is fast becoming a name to remember.

Popular actresses Sabila Nur and Tasnia Farin have been dominating the Eid-ul-Azha box office with their commercial film releases, “Taandob” and “Insaaf”. Both films have sparked widespread discussions across social media and among filmgoers, mostly in praise of the actresses’ performances.

After a long hiatus, Shakib Khan and Jaya Ahsan have reunited on screen for the film “Taandob”, which has become a talking point since its release this Eid-ul-Azha. Ahead of the film’s premiere, Jaya praised Shakib during a press conference, and once again, in a recent interview with Kolkata-based daily Anandabazar, the actress lauded the Dhallywood star.

Released in 133 theatres across Bangladesh, “Taandob” quickly captured the audience’s attention with its high-octane plot, gritty tone, and surprise cameos from Afran Nisho and Siam Ahmed.

Six films were released across cinemas in Bangladesh this Eid. Among them, “Taandob”, starring Shakib Khan and directed by Raihan Rafi, has led the charts from Eid day through the fifth day of the holiday. The film was released in 133 theatres nationwide, with midnight screenings (12am–3am) running in venues such as Chhaya Bani in Mymensingh, Rajtilok in Rajshahi, and Modhubon Cineplex in Bogura.

Once a sweetheart of television, Sabila Nur has hit the bullseye with her silver-screen debut with a leading role opposite Shakib Khan in “Taandob”. The film will go down in Bangladesh’s cinematic history for being rife with action, twists, and cameos.

Among the six films released this festive season—“Taandob”, “Insaaf”, “Tagar”, “Utshob”, “Neelchokro”, and “Esha Murder: Kormophol”—two stood out for their star-studded surprises and sequel teases: “Taandob” and “Insaaf”.

This Eid-ul-Azha, actress Jaya Ahsan returned to the silver screen with two new films—“Taandob”, directed by Raihan Rafi, and “Utshob”, directed by Tanim Noor. Since Eid day, she has been visiting various theatres across the country as part of the promotional campaign.

Cameos like these have long been a staple of Hollywood—the Marvel Cinematic Universe redefined the model, and Bollywood followed with its own versions like the YRF Spy Universe and Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe.

Shakib Khan starrer “Taandob” has officially received clearance from the Bangladesh Film Certification Board, paving way for its theatrical release and setting the stage for a potential box office storm.

The reported rift between superstar Shakib Khan and actor Afran Nisho has officially come to an end. On Tuesday (June 3) night, Nisho visited Shakib’s office, where the two held a lengthy discussion, according to sources close to both actors.

The latest song “Lichur Bagane” from the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha release “Taandob” has stirred significant buzz following its release last night.

Regarding her experience working with Shakib Khan, Jaya shared, “Shakib Khan is a major star in our industry. I must say, he’s doing exceptionally well. Although we shared screen previously, this time while working on ‘Taandob’, I noticed he has become even more dedicated and serious about his craft.”

Raihan Rafi has finally dropped the much-anticipated teaser for “Taandob”. The 1-minute-41-second preview instantly hooks viewers, sparking curiosity about the mysterious gang wearing a monkey-mask.

Rafi revealed that this project is even more demanding than his previous blockbuster “Toofan”. “To protect the film’s confidentiality, strict measures have been imposed on set, including a ban on mobile phones and restricted access for outsiders. Nevertheless, a few leaks have managed to slip through.”

The joyous atmosphere of Eid tends to bring with it the excitement of big-screen blockbusters, and this Eid-ul-Azha is no exception. As theatres continue screening films from Eid-ul-Fitr, producers and directors are shifting focus toward the next festive release window. Several high-profile titles are preparing to hit cinemas during Eid-ul-Azha, with some already generating significant buzz through posters, social media promotions, and star-studded casts.
