Dhaka, Mar 09 (V7N)- With Eid-ul-Fitr approaching, the Bangladeshi film industry is gearing up for one of its biggest box office battles. Although theaters experience a slump throughout the year, Eid always brings a revival, with new movies hitting the screens and halls reopening. Traditionally dominated by superstar Shakib Khan, the competition is now extending beyond male leads, as six heroines are set to battle for audience attention this year.

The confirmed Eid releases include ‘Barbad’, ‘Dagi’, ‘Jungli’, and ‘Jinn-3’, with leading actresses Toma Mirza, Shabnam Bubli, Nusrat Faria, Dighi, and Kolkata’s Idhika Pal all vying for the spotlight. While these movies are yet to pass the Film Certification Board, their release is almost certain, and anticipation is building among fans and hall owners alike.

Toma Mirza Returns with ‘Dagi’

After a two-year hiatus, Toma Mirza is set to make a comeback with ‘Dagi’, directed by Shihab Shaheen. Starring alongside Afran Nisho, this film marks their second collaboration. Produced by SVF (India), Charki, and Alpha Eye, the film also features Sunerah Binte Kamal, adding to the excitement. Given Toma's track record of stellar performances, industry insiders believe she will capture the audience’s attention once again.

Idhika Pal Reunites with Shakib Khan in ‘Barbad’

Kolkata actress Idhika Pal, who gained massive popularity in ‘Priyatama’, is pairing up with Shakib Khan again in ‘Barbad’, directed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy. The film’s teaser has already created buzz, showcasing Shakib Khan in a dark, intense role—a reckless, drug-addicted gangster’s son, accused of serious crimes. Idhika plays Neetu, the woman he is obsessed with. With hall bookings already underway, expectations for this film are soaring.

Siam, Bubli, and Dighi in Action-Packed ‘Jungli’

After much anticipation, M Rahim’s ‘Jungli’ is set to release on Eid-ul-Fitr 2025, having been postponed from Eid-ul-Adha. The film features Siam Ahmed in a radically different avatar, alongside Shabnam Bubli and Prarthana Fardin Dighi. The first song from the film, ‘Janam Janam’, released on YouTube in February, has heightened audience interest. The film’s poster and teaser hint at a gripping storyline where Siam’s life takes a dramatic turn, leading to his transformation into the fearless ‘Jungli’. Bubli’s bold new look has already grabbed attention, and fans are eager to see her performance.

Nusrat Faria Makes a Comeback with ‘Jinn-3’

After a long break, Nusrat Faria is returning to the big screen with ‘Jinn-3’, produced by Jaaz Multimedia. Directed by Kamruzzaman Roman, the film pairs her opposite Abdun Noor Sajal. With horror-thriller elements, the film promises an exciting cinematic experience.

Who Will Win the Eid Battle?

The Eid movie market is witnessing an intense showdown among leading actresses, each hoping to capture audience admiration and box office success. While past years saw one-sided battles, this year’s competition is wide open, making it an exciting time for Dhallywood fans.

However, the ultimate winner will only be revealed once the films hit the theaters. Until then, the excitement and anticipation continue to build!
