No Bangladeshi film in recent memory has created such hype in the hearts of the audience as Hawa, a film directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon. The film has been released in twenty-four halls across the country, and all tickets have been sold out for nearly a week. Such a feat has never been seen before, at least in a decade. The film has rocked the cradle with amazing tracks like 'Shada Shada Kala Kala,' 'E Hawa,' and had there been a music chart in our industry, the two songs would have been chart-busters. Extensive marketing and promotion create additional pressure on films, as it raises the bar high. Most of the time, the film fails to deliver a result good enough to back such promotion, but not this time. Hawa has lived up to everybody's expectations, and in places, exceeded them. The film is not an art-house film per se like Rehana Mariam Noor, nor a commercial film like Poran or Din The Day. The film treads the fine line between the two sections and stands apart. The film is hard to categorise into a certain genre. All that can be said is that it is a nice potboiler of mystery, thrills, and fantasy. The film relies on its storyline and the performances of the actors, which is indicative of the prowess of Mejbaur Rahman Sumon and the screenwriters, Faruque Jahan Amin and Sukorno Shahed Dhiman. The cinematography has been the best in Dhallywood so far, as has been the CGI and graphics (unlike a certain hundred-crore film!). The film has a distinctly local vibe, from its background music to its treatment of the plot, the audience will find the lingering smell of their own story. Everything has been developed from scratch, and all the characters have gone through their distinctive arcs. The film could have treated its ending with a bit more nuance and care, but that is alright. The plot is a slow-burning journey with some explosive, raw moments of conflict where the audience will be on the edge of their seats. The film is full of expletives and some adult bits, and the uncensored expletives result in some of the most hilarious moments in the film. Several prominent actors appeared in the film, including Chanchal Chowdhury, Nazifa Tushi, Sariful Razz, Shohel Mondol, Nasir Uddin Khan, and Sumon Anowar, and everyone delivered. Veteran actor Chanchal Chowdhury has stolen the spotlight as Chaan Majhi, the captain of the fishing boat. Shariful Razz has delivered the best performance of his career so far (such lines have been written after Gunin and Poran as well!). Nazifa Tushi as Gulti has left an impact on the screen with her powerful performance. Both Nasir Uddin Khan and Sumon Anwar have lived up to their names, as has Sohel Mondol, even though he did not have much screen presence. The technical aspects of the film have been superb, even though the background music has been too loud to hear the actual dialogues of the film at times. The scale on which the film has been made is immensely attractive and grandiose. Sometimes the actors spoke in proper Bangla, not in the dialect, which felt a little out of place. The film could be a game-changer for the Bangladeshi film industry. Give it a try, just make sure the children are not with you; well, it's not an adult film either. 10/10 Masterpiece.

Absolutely amazing theater experience. Everything from acting, story, color grade, cinematography, casting, music composition is top notch. Couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!!!

Awesome Cinematography and color grinding. Roleplay of Cast was Absolutely perfect. Shooting Spot was Damn Good. Actually U will not feel Bored For once during watching this cinema. This is The first ever Movie of Bangladesh On such Spot. Story Ending was Little bit Lazy But There is no chance to feel bore.

Definitely a good Bangla film. The cinematography, sound was just out of the world. Actors did there best to make it a huge hit. It has a back story,hope that the director will come up with that story too. Need more Bangla films like "Hawa" in this industry.

The hype is only for Chanchal Chowdhury. Cinematography, Acting was excellent but the story is totally disguising. People gave interest to this movie only for Chanchal sir. Otherwise there's nothing special. And one thing the song "shada shada kala kala" influenced us like this will be a great movie. But I think I should wait for youtube or other website to see this movie for free. After watching this movie, it seems I wasted my money.

Hawa", a recently released Bangladeshi movie, has become a crowd puller, thanks to its distinct plot, musical composition and impressive cinematography. Chanchal Chowdhury (as Chan Majhi, the lead actor and captain of the boat), Nazifa Tushi (as Gulti, the lone female cast), Sariful Razz (as Ibrahim, a sailor) and others played their individual roles with high competency. Struggling lives of seasoned fishermen on board "Nayan Tara", a lost fishing boat in the deep sea of Bay of Bengal amidst rough, stormy and hostile weather conditions got skillfully depicted through some bold, energetic and realistic performance. The plot of the movie created sensation due to its themes of basic human instincts like greed, desire, conflicts, mystery, thrill and suspense, boosted by creative and mystical dose of fairytale fantasy, love and revenge. Though a winning note of good over evil justifiably wrapped up the entertaining production yet scenes containing excessive slangs and gory violence could somewhat be altered or trimmed to make the movie a more family friendly one. Popular folk musical number, "Shada, shada, kala, kala / Tumi bondhu kala pakhi" stole limelight in the most deserving fashion. It has been aesthetically pleasing to watch the immense vastness of the boundless sea and its natural splendors, thanks to some excellent works of cinematography, VFX and 3D animation. Sound editing has been praiseworthy though a few key dialogues seemed less audible at times. Above all, it has been a delight to see the cine-goers joyfully thronging the theatres to watch "Hawa", the stimulating box-office hit, one finely infused with blended elements of reality and fable.

Ill fortune follows on the boat of Chan Majhi (Chanchal Chowdhury), when his group of fishermen finds a beautiful young woman in their fishing net at the mid-sea. Tension rises along with mistrust, misfortune and body-count when mystery surrounding the 'mute-woman' gradually starts to reveal with deadly consequences. Beautifully shot, capturing the ever lustful appeal of Bay of Bengal and nuances of life on the sea, director Mejbaur Rahman Sumon mostly succeeds in HAWA for skillful framing and some stunning cinematography. But a big thumbs up also goes to the whole cast for their standout performances on their respective roles. Based on a Siren-like local folklore, HAWA is a pleasant surprise for a Bangladeshi cinema that offers a twisted tale of supernatural with a little dose of "Slasher" also in its tensed 2nd half! Considering the general standard of genre-filmmaking in BD, the film indeed deserves all the hype.
