Entertainment Report :
Shakib Khan’s upcoming movie titled ‘Borbaad’ is setting new records ahead of its release securing the highest
booking fee among Eid releases this year.
With theatre bookings already underway, the much-anticipated movie has cleared earlier uncertainties, and the cast and crew are now fully focused on release preparations.
Speaking to a local leading Bengali daily, the movie’s producer Shahrin Akter Sumi confirmed that talks have been finalised with around 100 cinema halls for the release.
Although this number may slightly decrease, she added that more halls are likely to be added soon. The final count will be confirmed within the next couple of days.
The producer further said, “There are fewer cinema halls during Eid. Ideally, we would benefit financially if we could release the film in every available hall. But that’s not possible-nor is it reasonable. Other films are releasing too, and they deserve a fair share of the space.”
Meanwhile, it is being reported that the booking fee for ‘Borbaad’ has surpassed that of Shakib Khan’s previous films. In fact, this Dhallywood star’s latest release is setting a new record for Eid film bookings.
When asked about the per-theatre booking amount, the producer said, “It’s not possible to charge the same amount from all cinemas. Some halls are smaller, some larger. Moreover, the film business hasn’t been doing well for quite some time. That’s why we’ve set tiered booking fees based on the size and capacity of each hall.”
For Eid release, this fee is significantly higher than any other recent Dhallywood movie. According to sources within the production company, the demand for ‘Borbaad’ among cinema owners is exceptionally high.
