‘হলে না গিয়ে চুরি করে মোবাইল ফোনে দেখতে চান দেখতে পারেন, তবে...’

Actress Sadiya Ayman recently shared a lengthy Facebook post praising the Eid-ul-Azha release film 'Bonolota Sen' for its visuals, story, acting, and technical aspects. Her appreciation for the cast and director, Masud Hasan Ujjwal, was overshadowed by her responses to audience comments. When a viewer questioned the need to buy tickets and watch in theaters if the film was available on mobile, Sadiya advised against piracy, stating that while one could watch it illegally on a phone, the small screen would diminish the experience of its grand visuals. She emphasized that 'Bonolota Sen' is a film meant for the big screen. This exchange sparked discussions about film piracy and the importance of theatrical viewing.

The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of film piracy in Bangladesh and reignites the debate on the necessity of supporting cinema halls for a complete viewing experience.
