‘Bengali Beauty’, a Bangladeshi period romantic comedy-drama film set in the 70s, written and directed by Rahsaan Noor, was released at Blockbuster Cinemas of Jamuna Future Park in the capital yesterday.
The film stars American-Bangladeshi actor Rahsaan Noor as a radio jockey and young Bangladeshi model and actress Mumtaheena Chowdhury Toya as a medical student.
However, Toya has made her big screen debut with ‘Bengali Beauty’.
Initially scheduled to release in Bangladesh on 9 February this year, ‘Bengali Beauty’ was banned by the Bangladesh Film Censor Board.
However, the film went on to release in the United States on February 16, and was praised for its screenplay, direction, music, and the performances of the lead actors, becoming the highest grossing Bengali language film of all-time at the United States Box Office. In June, the Bangladesh Appeal Board overturned the Censor Board’s ban.
