Here’s a look at the standout programming for Day 4 of Eid celebrations.

As the film industry gears up for festival seasons, cinema hall owners eagerly anticipate the most hyped time of the year. This Eid-ul-Fitr, six films hit the silver screen: “Borbaad”, “Daagi”, “Jongli”, “Chokkor 302”, “Jinn 3”, and “Antaratma”.

The film, completed four years ago, was abruptly added to the Eid lineup without prior marketing, raising eyebrows in the industry. While other Eid releases were in full promotional swing, “Antaratma” seemingly appeared out of nowhere, with its teaser, song, and trailer dropping within hours of each other. Even Shakib Khan and the film’s cast remained largely silent about its release.
