The context of this film is the 2016 sabotage attack on a bakery in the Gulshan area of ​​Dhaka. But the film’s release has been blocked by the government of Bangladesh for the past 4 years. The country’s censor board claimed that the film could damage the country’s image. But ‘Saturday Afternoon’ has already won awards at several international film festivals, including Moscow. Farooqi was contacted by Anandabazar Online in this context. The director said on Monday: ‘The board of censors has no objection. It has been said that the movie could be released with only a warning and a tribute. But unfortunately it’s been more than 7 days. We haven’t received any mail yet. »

Meanwhile, Hansal Mehta’s film “Faraj” is releasing in India this week. Notably, the films of Farooqui and Hansal have the same context. Referring to this in his post, Farooqui wrote, “On the other hand, ‘Faraz’ comes out on the 3rd. ‘ or an hour earlier.

Farooqui has advocated the release of “Saturday Afternoon” several times over the past few years. Won the support of much of the eminent personalities of Bangladesh. Even after that, the director thinks about the policy of “go slow”. Did the release of a film like ‘Faraj’ pave the way for its theatrical release? Faruqi said, “I can’t say. Because my movie hasn’t been released yet. Hansal is my friend. I’m very happy that he is releasing his movie.
