The main reason for no Hindi films in Bangladesh is because of cultural issue. If Hindi films are allowed countrywide there would be no difference at all between Indian and Bangladeshi people. It would make Bangladesh an unofficial state of India if Hindi is promoted in Bangladesh. Hindi is considered cousin of Urdu or same language. Bangladeshi nationalists extremely hate Urdu language. They will not tolerate Hindi as well because of the similarity.
All cinema halls closed because of no Indian films
Local films failed to drag movie viewers in Bangladesh. The Indian film is in demand but its release is being stuck. Some of the 174 cinema hall surviving in any case are closed in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Film Producers' Association President Iftekhar Nowshad said in the press conference on Wednesday that the film is not being made in Bangladesh as a movie shooter. The selection of the best quality of Indian Bengali film is being confined to various tactics. Owners are unable to count the losses for a long time. So there is no way to stop all cinemas from April 12.
The meeting was attended by adviser Siddiqit Sudipta Kumar Das and Mia Alauddin. They said that there were 1235 movie theaters in Bangladesh a few decades ago. It turned out to be 174. Naushad said, "My three Indian Bengali films have been in the preview committee for 4 months. They could not see the sensors getting released without the clearance. People have already seen them through many different ways. "Naushad's words - if it is too late, why would the people come to see the imported images released? He said that the filmmakers can review the decision to stop foreign films, especially in the case of Indian Bangladeshi images, on imported conditions.
The owners have said - Indian Bengali films will occupy the Bangladeshi industry, the excuse that an influential part of the movie world is preventing import of foreign films. Even the imported photographs are not released so that the kalakhati is stirred. 50 thousand people associated with Esenema halls are losing their livelihood.

প্রতীকী ছবি।
বাংলাদেশের সিনেমা দর্শক টানতে ব্যর্থ। ভারতীয় ছবির চাহিদা থাকলেও তার মুক্তি আটকে রাখা হচ্ছে। কোনওক্রমে টিকে থাকা মোট ১৭৪টি সিনেমা হলের সব ক’টিই বন্ধ হয়ে যাচ্ছে বাংলাদেশে।
বাংলাদেশ চলচ্চিত্র প্রদর্শক সমিতির সভাপতি ইফতেকার নওশাদ বুধবার সাংবাদিক বৈঠকে বলেন, সিনেমা হলে লোক টানার মতো চলচ্চিত্র বাংলাদেশে তৈরি হচ্ছে না। বাছাই করা ভাল মানের ভারতীয় বাংলা ছবির মুক্তি নানা কৌশলে আটকে রাখা হচ্ছে। দীর্ঘদিন ধরে লোকসান গুনতে গুনতে হল মালিকেরা আর পেরে উঠছেন না। তাই এপ্রিলের ১২ তারিখ থেকে সব সিনেমা হল বন্ধ করে দেওয়া ছাড়া উপায় থাকছে না।
সাংবাদিক বৈঠকে উপস্থিত ছিলেন প্রদর্শক সিমিতির উপদেষ্টা সুদীপ্তকুমার দাস এবং মিঞা আলাউদ্দিনও। তাঁরা জানান, কয়েক দশক আগেও বাংলাদেশে ১২৩৫টি সিনেমা হল ছিল। বন্ধ হতে হতে তা ১৭৪-এ দাঁড়িয়েছে। নওশাদ বলেন, ‘‘আমার তিনটি ভারতীয় বাংলা ছবি ৪ মাস ধরে প্রিভিউ কমিটিতে পড়ে রয়েছে। তাঁরা দেখে উঠতে না পারায় সেন্সরের ছাড়পত্র পেয়ে মুক্তি পায়নি সেগুলো। ইতিমধ্যে নানা মাধ্যমে মানুষ সেগুলি দেখে ফেলেছেন।’’ নওশাদের কথায়— এত দেরি করলে আমদানি করা ছবি মুক্তি পেলেও তা দেখতে লোকে কেন হলে আসবে? তিনি জানান— বিদেশি চলচ্চিত্র, বিশেষ করে ভারতীয় বাংলা ছবি সহজ শর্তে আমদানি করতে দিলে তবেই সিনেমা হল মালিকেরা বন্ধের সিদ্ধান্ত পুনর্বিবেচনা করতে পারেন।
হল মালিকেরা বলছেন— ভারতীয় বাংলা ছবি বাংলাদেশের শিল্পকে দখল করে নেবে, এই অজুহাত তুলে চলচ্চিত্র জগতের একটা প্রভাবশালী অংশ বিদেশি ছবি আমদানিতে বাধা দিচ্ছেন। আমদানি করা ছবি যাতে মুক্তি না পায়, তার জন্যও কলকাঠি নাড়া হয়। এসিনেমা হলগুলির সঙ্গে যুক্ত ৫০ হাজার মানুষ জীবিকা হারাতে বসেছেন।

Cinema halls to shut doors from April 12

They have released a detailed press statement with these demands and if these demands are not met by the government then they will start a strike from April 12 by closing every cinema hall in Bangladesh
Bangladesh Motion Picture Exhibitor Association demanded changes to "the regulations to distribute foreign films and to raise the number of productions of local films," at a recent press conference on Wednesday, March 13, at the capital’s Reporter’s Unity.
They have released a detailed press statement with these demands and if these demands are not met by the government then they will start a strike from April 12 by closing every cinema hall in Bangladesh.
The written statement of the organization was read by its Chief Advisor, Sudipta Kumar Das. Bangladesh Motion Picture Exhibitor Association President Iftekhar Uddin Nowshad and Advisors Mirza Abdul Khaleque, Mia Alauddin, Abul Hossain and members Alamgir Sikder Loton, R Yunus Rubel, Sharifuddin Elahi, Samrat Awlad, and Hossain Ujjal, were also present at the press event.
Dhaka Tribune’s Showtime contacted Iftekhar Uddin Nowshad, owner of well known Modhumita Cinema Hall and president of Bangladesh Motion Picture Exhibitor Association, for comment on their recent decision.
Nowshad said: “There are 174 cinema halls within this organization. As of now, 100 to 150 halls have agreed to this decision and will be shut down from April 12. A few will close sooner than the proposed deadline.”
“Only 35 films were produced locally this year. Even 50 films every year won’t help this industry survive. We want to distribute Indian films and subcontinental films, or this industry will die,” he added.
He then forcefully said: “Enough is enough already. Our quality in movies won’t rise without competition. We have already deteriorated our quality by protecting our industry for years and years which visibly did not work.”
“There is no film of Shakib Khan now. The recent ‘Fagun Haway’ didn’t get an audience. And now we are forced to run a film like ‘Jodi Akdin’ for the second week for lack of films in our pipeline. The last film that ran successfully in theatres and people enjoyed was ‘Debi.’ If Hollywood English films are allowed in this country then subcontinental films should be allowed too.”
Moreover, numerous film organizations have been protesting for a long time against the Indian film imports, and specifically the South Asian Free Trade Area (Safta) Treaty, which allows for the import and distribution of South Asian films. These organizations say that these foreign films are hurting the local film market.
Earlier, The Appellate Division of Supreme Court on May 10 banned the import, distribution and screening of foreign films, including Indian Bangla, Hindi, or Pakistani films, during the national festivals such as the two Eids, Puja, and Pohela Boishakh.
The bench, led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, passed the order after hearing an appeal against the High Court order that had stayed the import of jointly produced and foreign films for screening in local theatres.
Barrister Moniruzzaman Asad told the press that the High Court on May 10 stayed the import of such films after hearing a petition filed by Nipa Enterprise owner, Selina Begum.
On the same month, Bangladesh Motion Picture Exhibitor Association President, Iftekhar Uddin Nowshad, filed an appeal with the Appellate Division challenging that order.
The apex court reviewed the order but allowed screening of jointly produced films in those days, but banned foreign films.
