Piracy, Worldwide Release & 6 Months in Box Office

Monpura was released on February, 2009. Now Its August and Monpura is about to complete its 6 Months in Box office. Breaking almost all the records of box office, Occupying the busiest theaters in capital for 6 months consecutively, Dragging the Mass to theaters(who were away from it for quite sometime) are some of the milestone that it achieved in these 6 months. We have seen so many Bangla movies copied from Indian movies, And now, Monpura will be Re-Picturised in India keeping the songs and dialogue intact.


After becoming one of the most successful Bangladeshi Movie ever, Monpura is releasing Worldwide. A number of non-resident Bangladeshi were waiting for this movie since its release. In 8th August 2009, Monpura will be released in Sydney, Australia. In Upcoming weeks it will be released in other big cities of Australia . After that, it is supposed to get release in USA, UK and other countries on Upcoming Eid.

Poor Image Quality in Pirated Copy of Monpura

One last thing to be mentioned. There is a pirated copy of this movie available on Internet. The copy was pirated from a theater. In this copy, you will probably find one of the worst picture quality that you have ever experienced. Though the movie has crystal clear picture and excellent sound quality, The pirated copy will provide you with worst experience.

Monpura has created new records in Bangla movie. The sooner it get passed by another movie, The better for Bangla Movie Industry. Hope that, we are not far away from that day.

100 Days of Glory

Monpura has completed its 100 days in box office. Star Cineplex and Bolaka(Bolaka-1 & Bolaka-2) have run this movie for these 100 days consecutively. Considering the fact that, these are the busiest theatres in the capital, one can imagine the nationwide success of this movie. Even after 100 days, the movie is running around 50 theatres across the country.


After a long time, we have seen such an incidence where a main stream commercial film has made people rush towards theatres irrespective of age and class. Simultaneously, it has widened a door for Bangla film industry. There is a bunch of young directors who work in small screen and dream of working in big screen. It is the producers who stand in the way of their dreams. Either they fail to manage a producer or fail to get the amount which is needed to realize their dream. But now, the stream of audience must have inspired the young directors more than ever. It is also a good sign for the producers. And if we can get more and more films from these directors, there will be a much needed change in our industry. We may get back those days of 60's and 70's when movies were a great source of entertainment for all sorts of people.


Movies can never be made for small screen. We were about to grasp such a culture where movies were made for small screen. Small budget, small audience, small profit- That was the motto of those films. But the outstanding success of Monpura has shown that theatres are the right (and only) place for movies. Now it is up to the producers and younger directors to capitalize the opportunity to bring our movie industry back on track.
