Sheikh Hasina's dramatic resignation has revived discussions around her controversial yet influential decision to reopen Bangladeshi theatres to Bollywood films after decades of decline.
Bangladesh's political turmoil is highlighted alongside a significant cultural event. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's term saw the first Hindi film release in Bangladesh in 50 years. Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' broke this long-standing ban.
THIS Bangladeshi actress, who played Sheikh Hasina in Mujib: The Making of a Nation by Shyam Benegal, was recently linked to a murder case.
The tribunal in Dhaka handed Hasina the death penalty on Monday for ordering a violent crackdown on student-led protests in July 2024 that toppled her government.
