There are movies, waiting to open the hall

News Desk: The aesthetic signboard of Jonaki Hall in Paltan came to light on Tuesday afternoon. At the entrance, someone is frying onions and potato chops. Many are also having a chat. The more light outside, the more crowded, the darker inside. Lifeless The hall has been closed for more than a year. Almost the same picture was seen in Padma and Surma Halls of Malibagh. The gate is locked, dust has accumulated.

All the theaters in the country were closed for seven months due to the Corona outbreak. The Ministry of Information decided to open the auditorium at the request of the Producers and Exhibitors Association. Although the theater was opened, the lack of new films was evident. Many producers were hesitant about whether the audience would come to the theater. So the big budget did not release new pictures. The year ends with a new normal photo shoot. No significant pictures were released in the first two months of the new year. In March, the film seems to be trying to turn around. But the fear is that this time there may be a crisis in the hall.

However, exhibitors say the closed halls will reopen soon. Five films are going to be released in the country's cinemas in March. As there are stars in these films, there are also newcomers. In the context of the liberation war, just like there are movies, there are also pictures of pure love. Mia Alauddin, the senior vice-president of the Film Exhibitors' Association, talks about how much hope the cinema owners are seeing in these brand new films. He said he has spoken to the owners of many theaters across the country. A few theaters will open from March 5. This is certainly a positive aspect. Because, this is the first time that the new normal is going to get five pictures released in any month.

5 pictures are being released in March. The pictures are 'Tumi Ach Tumi Nei', 'Sfuling', 'Alatchakra', 'Tungipara Mia Bhai' and 'Priyo Kamala'. The producers and directors of the films have confirmed the release. The films have also received clearance from the Bangladesh Film Censor Board. Meanwhile, Mian Alauddin, on behalf of the exhibitors' association, said, "There are still 300 cinema halls across the country. A maximum of 60 halls have been opened in the last few days. Although everything is fine, the activities of 100 organizations have been completely stopped. I have heard that the theaters that have been closed for a long time due to the release of so many films are being reopened this month.

' However, the final decision of Iftekhar Uddin Nowshad, the head of Madhumita Cinema Hall, is that they will not open the theater before Eid-ul-Fitr. The reason given is, ‘Audience-oriented movies don’t seem to be releasing yet. I have heard that some pictures are being released this month, but in that sense there are no pictures of big stars like Shakib Khan.

' Authorities have not yet made a decision on Balaka Cinema Hall. The situation is similar in a few other theaters outside Dhaka. However, Tofazzal Hossain, the manager of Manihar Theater in Jessore, said, "Visitors have forgotten a lot as new films are not released regularly." I need new pictures. It is better to have quality pictures on a big budget. If it is possible to release regular pictures, the audience will return to the cinema again. Releasing five new pictures in a month is really good news for hall owners. However, we have not yet decided which pictures we will shoot. ' Meanwhile, the owners of Chittagong Theater are happy with the news of the release of five films. They said, this was closed for so many days, this was on. But because of the five new films, you can go back to as many exhibitions as you normally would. Faruk Ahmed, one of the directors of Silver Screen in Chittagong, said, ‘Restaurants, shops are all open.

People are much more outgoing now. Meanwhile, many have also taken the vaccine. So people will come to the theater to spend time. All you need is content. The news of the release of five pictures is a source of hope for us. People will definitely come to the theaters if they decide to release more and more new movies and run a good campaign.

' The theater owner and the concerned authorities regularly want to show new pictures to the audience. Producers should dare to release new films. Because, at the request of the producer association, the government has opened a cinema hall. People are going for walks now, shopping, going out to eat, just can't go regularly if there is a lack of new movies. So everyone has to pay attention to this issue. Otherwise, some of the people concerned think that one day they will have to get a lot of speed to bring back the audience.
