We were taliking about some serious movies. Bollywood movies are not worth to
waste money.

Bangladeshis does not watch Bollywood movies??...I have met so many Bangladeshis who watch all the latest movies...and in fact know all the Bolly gossips more than the Indians...I do understand some movies are just crap BUT not all...

Anyways...congrats on the new multiplex and good luck watching "serious" entertainment

 

[Ayush]

a bigger market for bollywood movies

Let the consumers decide which movies they want to watch instead of putting unnecessary and stupid bans. If consumers would rather pay money to watch a bollywood film rather than hollywood films, who are we to decide how they want to spend their money. Poor judgement but their money, their right.

And adding to that a strict and learned censor board which restricts any movie which it seems inappropriate should yield a perfect solution.

I don't think the screen is too small. Do you think the screen is too small?

Blockbuster Cinemas, JFP

All movie halls should have few rows of twin sofa instead of regular chair for couples...

That's precisely been my thought countless times in my bachelorhood!

And only 2nd multiplex in a country of 150 million :O South Asia is lagging behind

Many Bangladeshis like Bollywood movies but can't understand it to save their life, but Bangladeshis even love Korean movies such as Shaolin Soccer lmao (They have subs in eng). They are easily accessible in small DVD shops for rent which costs like 50-100 tekha, depending on shops. Even Pakistani Punjabi movies are popular in some regions of Bangladesh (Sylhet).

Regarding the ban, when BNP was in power they put a ban on Bollywood movies if my memory serves right.

Well depends on the movie, some Bollywood movies misrepresent Muslims which Muslim countries like BD and PAK won't take lightly to. Regarding Bangladesh, Jamaat see it as a threat which I kind of agree on, Bollywood movies have become so westernised back in the day I could watch a Bollywood movie with my family with out worrying about any explicit/lovey dovey scenes but now, no comment. They try to imitate Hollywood so much it's actually funny, when they speak English that I always have to take the **** out of their accents lol. These explicit scenes aren't taken lightly in Bangladesh or Pakistan or even India.

If you've ever watched popular comedy films such as 'Hangover', 'Grownups', etc these have been imitated heavily by Bollywood. I thought the Chinese were pros at ripping off content lol.

I hope they dont allow Bollywood movies which may corrupt the mind of innocent pious bangladeshis

Shaolin Soccer is Hong Kongese.

All foreign films are banned in Bangladesh. It's like we cannot import brand new films from abroad. For the latest Hollywood/Bollywood releases, we'd have to wait for some time before they are to be screened in places like Star Cineplex.

There are some info we can dig:

This was mainly done to 'protect' the Bangladeshi film industry. Nobody watches Bangladeshi-made films other than rickshaw-pullers.

The ban wasn't originally imposed by the Islamists as some outsider would initially perceive in the post-independence era. The Islamists in Bangladesh are hardly a force to contend with in the politics of Bangladesh. They have only recently gained some minor advances. Not intending to get political, but just stating the picture there.

As for me, I'm a fan of Hollywood films. Especially the ones out of comic book heroes. Action baby!

People should be free to choose what they like. Be it Indian, American, Chinese or Bangladeshi.

They can censor those 'inappropriate' scenes. I know they do that in Star Cineplex.
