Thanks to the release of the nationally beloved film “Utshob” on OTT, it has found its way into social media discussions. Lauded for its family-friendly, emotional, and evocative script, the film arguably peaks in the scene between Sunerah Binte Kamal and Zahid Hasan. A lighter facet of the emotional reunion of the father-daughter duo is Sunerah screeching, “How come this coffee is 350 taka? Outrageous!”, a humorous dialogue which has unexpectedly set off debates on social media.
Following a successful theatrical run during Eid-ul-Azha, two blockbuster Bangladeshi films—“Taandob” and “Utshob”—are now set to stream online, offering an opportunity for those who missed the cinema screenings.
I will be honest, when I received such an overwhelming response for “Utshob”, it made me feel that my responsibilities as a performer have grown to a great extent. Also, people have developed great expectations of me. So, I would never want to let them down. I want to educate myself more as a performer and take acting lessons. I’m also nearing the end of my undergraduate degree in English Literature at NSU. So, I am striving to maybe go abroad for my higher studies.
The film will start streaming from August 7. Notably, Chorki has also announced that, alongside “Utshob”, the Shakib Khan-starrer film “Taandob” will be released on the same date.

The film has also performed beyond expectations in international markets such as Australia and the United States. Currently, it is running with the highest number of shows in several Cineplexes.
