Bangla natok

On April 24, 1898, the Bengali weekly Dhaka Prakash reported that films were shown in Dhaka by the Bradford Bioscope Company, at

the Crown Theatre, in Patuatuli, near Sadarghat. The show included news items and other short features. The first permanent cinema

in Dhaka, named Picture House, began operation during 1913–1914. This cinema was renamed to New Picture House and then again to

Shabistan. By 1947 there were around 80 cinemas in what is now Bangladesh.

The first Bengali organization for producing and exhibiting films was the Royal Bioscope Company, established in 1898 in Calcutta

by Hiralal Sen. Although feature films were made in Bengali as early as 1919 (Bilwa Mangal), most production was done in Calcutta.

The Nawab family of Dhaka produced Sukumari (1928–1929) and The Last Kiss (1931).

After the partition of India in 1947, the first film made in East Pakistan was a newsreel about the visit of Mohammad Ali Jinnah,

produced in 1948 by the radio broadcaster Nazir Ahmed. The first full-length feature film with sound made in East Pakistan was

Mukh O Mukhosh, which was produced by Abdul Jabbar Khan and released on August 3, 1956. Editing, printing and all other film

processing for this movie was done in Lahore, Pakistan.

The East Bengal Provincial Assembly established the East Pakistan Film Development Corporation (EPFDC) on April 3, 1957. The first

film produced by this organization was Asiya (The Life of a Village Girl, 1960), directed by Fateh Lohani. During the late 1960s,

between 20 and 35 films were produced each year. Production quantity continued to increase after Bangladesh gained its

independence on December 16, 1971; in 1979, for example, 51 films were released, and in the 1990s over 90 films per year were

released.

One of the first films produced in Bangladesh after independence was Titash Ekti Nadir Naam (A River Called Titas) in 1973 by

acclaimed director Ritwik Ghatak, whose stature in Bengali cinema is comparable to that of Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen.

Recently, the Bangladeshi film industry has faced increased competition from foreign films, satellite TV, home video, and other

sources. Viewership of Bangladeshi films has dropped, and the industry has been criticized for producing low-quality films whose

only appeal is that of sex, violence, or melodrama. Banglar King Kong, a local take on the King Kong tale was released in May,

2010 and was widely derided for its tackiness and sub par production values.
