Every year during Eid, new music, movies and television series are released to entertain the audience and without exception, in the occasion of this Eid-ul-Fitr, digital entertainment platform Toffee premiered their first original movie "MridhaBonamMridha,” starring Siam Ahmed, Tariq Anam Khan and Nova Firoze.
The family courtroom drama is garnering rave reviews from movie lovers.
Siam Ahmed, Nova Firoze and Tariq Anam Khan - the three leading actors in the film had received nominations at the Meril-ProthomAlo awards. Siam recently won the award in the best actor in a cinema (audience vote) category.
He was nominated along with stars like Arifin Shuvo, Tariq Anam Khan and Shakib Khan.
While a film’s standard is not limited to the rating metrics, with a 9.2 rating on IMDB, "Mridha vs. Mridha" show that viewers are in favor of decent entertainment.
The audience was able to watch "MridhaBonamMridha" for free on the Toffee app from any network and the response from the audience went through the roof.
The movie has been viewed on Toffee almost 500,000 times in the first 15 days of its release and the number is growing.
It proves that Eid movies can be popular outside the silver screen as well.
There is a universal liking of family stories among the Bangladeshi audience. This year, cinema halls were brimming with eager moviegoers who enjoyed screenings of action, romance or superhero movies.
Due to this upheaval in cinema ticket sales, the loss incurred during the pandemic was alleviated to some extent.
Apart from theatrical releases, “MridhaBonamMridha” was one of the few OTT movies to be premiered during Eid.
Purely a family drama, the love-hate chemistry of a father-son duo is what makes “MridhaBonamMridha” enjoyable and emotion-triggering.
Director Roni Bhowmik made this movie to remind us about loving our parents when they need it the most.
"Mridha vs Mridha" is like the story of our life. In the movie, the father is a retired lawyer and the son and daughter-in-law are corporate employees. Surrounded in greenery, the beautiful house they live in is a sight to behold.
The movie was shot in Chittagong.
Misunderstanding is a part of family life, but in this film, misunderstandings take a son to the courthouse to fight against his own father. For the rest of the plot you must watch the movie yourself.
Siam Ahmed and Tariq Anam Khan has adapted well in the role of son and father. Moreover, Nova Firoze, who played Siam's wife, was equally impressive. Her film debut will surely be talked about for the acting skills she showed in the film.
Another standout supporting character of the film worth the praise was played by Sanjida Preeti.
The standard of Bangladeshi OTT contents is becoming better every year and the movie “MridhaBonamMridha” is a suitable testament.
