Bangladeshi film Hawa, directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon, will release on December 16 in Kolkata and West Bengal, followed by a pan-India release on December 30.
The mystery-thriller film received a huge response from cinephiles in Bangladesh soon after its release in cinemas on July 29. Even after four months of release, it is still running in cinemas, earning accolades and ringing the cash register at the box office.
Apart from its massive popularity in Bangladesh, Hawa has received widespread critical acclaim and has been screened at numerous cross-border festivals and diaspora events. This film is Bangladesh’s official entry for the 95th Academy Awards (Oscars) under the Best International Feature Film category.
Sun Music and Motion Pictures Limited, the film’s production company, announced that the film will be distributed across India by Singapore entity Continental Entertainment Private Limited (CEPL) via Reliance Entertainment.
Ajoy Kumar Kundu, executive producer of Sun Music and Motion Pictures Limited, expressed his excitement ahead of the film’s release in India. "We are very happy to be associated with this film. Bengali films have many audiences in our neighboring country. I think Hawa will play a vital role in increasing the demand for Bangladeshi films here and creating a strong market among them,” he said.
