The screening of Indian films will increase cultural infiltration in Bangladesh. It will play an important role in destroying the cultural identity of the nation. Speakers expressed their worry at an online roundtable at Banglanews24.com.
The online roundtable meet titled ‘Screening of Indian films at Bangladeshi cinemas and its impact’ was organised by Banglanews24.com at its office in Basundhara R/A in the evening on December 13.
Country’s eminent actors, directors, producers, distributors, cultural personalities and journalists attended the discussion.
Film producer-distributor association president Masud Parvez widely known as Sohel Rana, film directors’ association president Mohammad Hannan, eminent film director Chashi Nazrul Islam, actor Misha Shawdagar, Bangladesh cinema hall owners’ association president KMR Manzoor, among others, were present at the meeting.
Bangladesh Motion Picture Exhibition Association general secretary Mian Alauddin, young filmmakers Debashish Biswas and Nayeem Imtiaz Neamul also participated in the discussion.

Cine journalists Awlad Hossain and Saikot Salahuddin were also present at the roundtable meet.
Upholding the spirit of Bangladesh’s war of independence and the order of the Father of Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, they said that the film industry would recover its past glory if it got proper support from the government.
Chashi Nazrul Islam said, ‘The screening of the films made in the Indian subcontinent will play a very negative role in the field of culture.’
‘Indian film screening can never be a solution of saving the cinema halls in the country,’ he added.
Putting importance on a film gradation board, Masud Parvez said, ‘We need variation in Bangladeshi films. We need more government support. If we can improve our films, viewers will come back in cinema halls. We do not need screening of Indian films in this purpose.’
Misha Shawdagar emphasised the importance of establishing a film academy for the development of film industry. ‘Unfortunately, our universities do have any faculty for films. We need to spread film education among the younger generation so that we can get more educated people in the industry.’
KMR Manzoor said, ‘Every day a good number of foreign films are being seen through different media, including cable television channels. If government stop them, it will contribute in reviving the cinema halls.’
To be mentioned, the Bangladesh government has allowed screening of Indian movies at the cinema halls in the country.
The Indian Bangla movie ‘Jor’ will be released at local cinemas on December 23 and two other Indian Bangla movies ‘Sangram’ and ‘Badla’ will be released in January.
The Indian film screening issue has created serious repercussions in film industry as well as in the intellectual society.
