Bangladeshi superstar Shakib Khan has delivered another blockbuster with *Dorod*, which set a record on its opening day by earning BDT 30.68 lakh in multiplex ticket sales. Released on November 15 across 22 countries, including Bangladesh and India, the film is being praised for its unique blend of suspense and Shakib’s powerful performance.
Unlike traditional action-packed or romantic films, *Dorod* captivates audiences with its gripping mystery. Shakib, portraying a fresh and dynamic character, shares the screen with Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan, whose portrayal of Fatima has won hearts. Their on-screen chemistry has been a major draw for fans. Directed by Anonno Mamun, the film has been hailed for breaking the norms of Bangladeshi cinema and rejuvenating theaters outside the Eid season.
The film opened in 83 theaters in its first week, with more expected to join as demand grows. In multiplexes, *Dorod* outperformed Shakib’s earlier film, *Toofan*, which earned BDT 29.61 lakh on its first day during Eid.
With stellar performances from a star-studded cast, including Payel Sarkar and Rahul Dev, *Dorod* is being lauded as a step forward for Bangladesh’s film industry, sparking hopes for a vibrant future in cinema.
