‘Rakkhosh’ screenings increase at Star Cineplex

Mehedi Hassan Hridoy’s dark thriller “Rakkhosh”, starring Siam Ahmed, hit theatres during Eid-ul-Fitr and has quickly gained momentum among moviegoers.

From its opening day, the film sparked significant audience interest, with fans praising Siam’s transformation in a striking new on-screen avatar following a long period of preparation.

Initially released with just 14 shows at Star Cineplex on Eid day, the number of screenings has since increased to more than 20 due to rising demand, according to a press release.

Producer Shahreen Akter said the film’s popularity is steadily growing. “The number of shows is increasing every day. We’ve received an excellent response over the past three days. If this trend continues, ‘Rakkhosh’ will achieve something remarkable,” she said.

Directed by Mehedi Hassan, the film marks his second directorial venture after “Borbaad”, which starred Shakib Khan. According to the filmmaker, “Rakkhosh” exists within the same cinematic universe as his debut film.

The movie features Kolkata-based actress Sushmita Chatterjee opposite Siam, alongside performances by Ali Raj and Sohel Mondol, among others. Natalia Janoszek also appears in a special song.
