During my school life I was addicted to bangla cinema, every Friday I went to cinema hall with one of my cousins. I did not miss any new film released on Friday that time. I had bad reputation in my village for that and my parents were also worried about me, especially my father. But I also I studied well and was doing better in school exams. Cinema halls were the most vital recreation place that time. Films were also very nice, we could not think of vulgarism in film that time. I can clearly remember - all of my family members went together, by hiring a boat, to enjoy the cinema Rongin Rupban. Very festive it seemed to me then. At that time Bangladesh Television broadcasted bangla cinema once in a month (Thursday night, so far I can remember). On that day almost all the people of my village came to our house and enjoyed the cinema on Television upto late night. Some dialogues of some movies became very very popular at that time.
Though most of the cinemas were black & white at that time, but their appeal was too high to us. Story, acting, songs, dialogues everything was superb comparing with present day’s cinema. Many actors, actress, directors, play back singers became legend by their performance. Bangla cinema’s advertisement on radio was also very much popular among us. We became very attentive listener to those advertisements. I am not telling anything of hundred years ago. It happened only 15-18 years ago in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi cinema became more popular than Indian bangla cinemas. Many Bangladeshi films were remade in Kolkata that time and they did hit box office there also. I can remember one or two incidents of filing case in the court by our Bangladeshi producers against Indian producers for copying contents. Kolkatan actor & actress felt lucky if they were offered from Dhaka. That was the ending time of the golden age of Bangladeshi cinema. After that what have happened, we know very well.
But now what is happening to our cinema? - At present when someone goes to the cinema hall to watch bangla cinema, he feels ashamed if anybody, known to him, sees him to enter into cinema hall. It is now widely thought that bangla cinema is only for rickshawals. Mentality has been turned into worst that much. Now it is also widely thought that, no good people can watch bangla cinema! This claim has some ground. Censor board allowed lot of cinemas having scenes close to 3X. No story, no technology, no creativity, nothing remarkable there. Violence and vulgarism are the main focusing points of producers and directors. Many cinemas faced case for having unauthorized scenes for adults only. Guardians have become very worried of their school going children for this. Crimes have increased by following these types of cinemas. Everybody became afraid of what is happening in Bangladeshi cinemas. Some actors and actresses are known to all for their vulgarities and violence in cinemas.
During this bad time of our cinema, some producers & directors came and tried to do some good films and they were successful in their venture. But the problem was that, what they were making were not commercial film at all rather they were making art film or I want to say telefilm. Not more than that. They did not make the films by considering the concept of commercial film at all. Moreover what they were making were not watched by all. Their films were made only for the educated people who have the capability to find out the inner message of the film. So in a sense they failed to help our cinema to survive. On the other hand Kolkatan cinema has reached to its peak. They are making world class film one after another. Story, technology, location, dance & music in every field they are close to the standard of Bollywood. Now our actor and actress feel lucky if they are offered from Kolkata. And if any of them get chance in Kolkata, get huge coverage in our national dailies.
Once upon a time it seemed to me that Bangla Cinema has taken its last breath. But fortunately with the effort of some creative people it came out of ICU alive. But very recent things are turning to positive again. Fortunately we got some talent and creative producers and directors. They are trying their best to do something by considering the demand of present audience. With the limit of budget they are using modern technology, modern story, nice location etc. to attract almost all types for people to cinema halls. And it seemed to me they have become successful. Good films, with the help of administration and conscious media, are throwing out bad things from Bangla cinema day by day. People have started to come to cinema halls slowly. They are watching bangla cinema again, though not with family members together but with friends or colleagues. I believe good days of Bangladeshi cinemas are coming back soon. Mentality toward Bangladeshi films is changing again to positive. And I am damn sure very soon people will go to cinema hall again with family members too. We need some good producers and directors for COMMERCIAL films which can bring back the golden age of bangla cinema. Time has began. Bangla film is releasing worldwide successfully. And Priozon Films will play a vital role in future.
