Operation Sundarban to hit cinemas on Sept 23

Acclaimed director Dipankar Dipon directed ‘Operation Sundarban’ is set for release on September 23 this year.

The official trailer of the much-anticipated action thriller film, produced by RAB Welfare Cooperative Society Limited, was released at a gala event on Friday night at the Laboni Point in the Cox’s Bazar sea beach, where the makers announced the release date of the film.

The 2-minute and 40-second trailer of the film featured Dhallywood’s celebrated actors Riaz Ahmed, Siam Ahmed, Nusraat Faria, Ziaul Roshan, Shatabdi Wadud, and others in the setting of the film at Sundarbans as the important characters, and the trailer is earning appraisal from audiences for showcasing the commendable narrative of the film’s remarkable plot, history, and facts, alongside the breathtaking visuals.

Inspector General of Bangladesh Police Benazir Ahmed attended the trailer launching event as the chief guest while RAB Director General Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun joined as the special guest, alongside director Dipon and other higher officials and the cast members of the film.

“Not only a wonderful documentation of history, but ‘Operation Sundarban’ is the success story of solving a four hundred years old-problem. Without proper documentation, the glorious tale of our operation against the pirates in the Sundarbans would remain untold. From that perspective, we took the initiative, and Dipon made justice with proper research and development for this film,” Benazir Ahmed said.

After the trailer was released many complained about the dubbing as it was not that satisfactory to the audience. Many said, Riaz’s voice felt overdramatic, even some said Siam should have done better while throwing the dialogues. However, the visuals of the film are really good. “Riaz’s voice seemed too dramatic but everything else was very impressive, hope this movie will do well like Poraan and Hawa,” commented SB Suha on Youtube.

“Didn’t get the thrill. It was more average than I expected. Hope the film doesn’t disappoint like Mission Extreme,” commented Badsha Alam. While many complained about the dubbing after reviewing the comment it seems the audience liked Ziaul Roshan’s character. Graming Wapsii commented, “Rosan’s acting just mind-boggling”. Under the supervision of RAB, the shooting of the film has taken place in multiple remote areas in the Sundarbans.

The film also features Raisul Islam Asad, Shatabdi Wadud, Manoj Pramanik, Taskeen Rahman, Rawnak Hasan, Arman Parvez Murad, and Indian-Bengali actress Darshana Banik.
