Breaking new ground, “Borbaad” movie will be officially released in cinemas across Dubai (UAE), Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain starting May 15. This release marks a monumental occasion for Bangladeshi cinema, not only for its geographical expansion but also for being the first Bangladeshi film distributed in the Middle East by PHF. With strong diaspora communities and a hunger for culturally rich entertainment, this step is anticipated to resonate deeply with Bangladeshi and South Asian audiences abroad.

Shakib Khan and the Cast Powering the Momentum

At the heart of “Borbaad” movie lies an emotionally charged performance by Shakib Khan, Bangladesh’s most celebrated film star.
