Ananta Jalil's "Din: The Day," helmed by Iranian director Murtaza Otash Jamjam, was released on Eid-ul-Azha, July 10, 2022. The film has reportedly opened in more than 100 cinema halls across the country.
Shot in different locations of Iran, Bangladesh, Lebanon, and Syria, the film stars Ananta himself and wife, Afiea Nusrat Barsha, newcomer Sumon Faruk, and many other actors from Lebanon and Iran.
Ananta and Barsha paid a visit to Star Cineplex yesterday to meet their fans. The couple last engaged in promotional campaigns for their 2014 film “Most Welcome 2.”
“We have to save our film industry first. I would request everyone to buy tickets for all the three Eid films. I have no enemy in the film industry. It would give me great pleasure if all our films do well at the box office,” Ananta Jalil told the press.
This Eid, social drama "Poran" and action-thriller "Psycho" also hit the theatres.
Barsha said, “I am very emotional about the release of ‘Din: The Day.’ It almost feels like I am making my acting debut again. This film was in development for the last four years and our team worked incredibly hard to put forward an entertaining film for the audiences this Eid.”
“Din: The Day” has been closely matching the box office success of “Poran;” however the reviews have been mostly mixed and the hype swiftly dwindling. The film was reportedly made on a 100-crore budget and released in 115 cinema halls.
