Release
A Hindi film to release in Bangladesh after eight years
Ever since Bangladesh was formed, the country banned Bollywood films to encourage its own film industry. However, the ban was lifted, leading to protests.
In 2015, Salman Khan's Wanted was released for a week and then it was taken down due to protests.
Now, the film associations have come to an agreement to release 10 Hindi films a year in Bangladesh.
