Cast

In 1986, film distributors decided that they would not allow any cinemas to screen Chapa Dangar Bou on Eid. They would instead show Azizur Rahman Buli's Himmatwali and this was Azizur Rahman Buli's conspiracy because they thought that if Chapa Dangar Bou was released, Azizur Rahman Buli's Himmatwali could face commercial problems. And the people of the film Chapa Dangar Bou learned that the Film Distributors Association had filed a restraining order and obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent Chapa Dangar Bou from being released on Eid. Then the director of the film Chapa Dangar Bou, Abdur Razzak, also took legal action. Then, after seeing the case, the judge said, "Since Advocate Rezaur Rahman, the lawyer representing the cinema hall owners, is not present in court and since the district judge has not issued any order in this case, the stay order remains in effect". Later, there were no more legal obstacles to releasing the film Chapa Dangar Bou on Eid. [12]

Release

Chapa Dangar Bou directed by Nayak Raj Razzak released on June 6 in 1986. [13]

Response

Wroted by Mahmuda Choudhury from Weekly Bichitra and published by BMDb After the release of 'Chapa Dangar Bou', a short review of the film was published by Weekly 'Bichitra' of that time, "The violence of brainless and musclemen has been going on for a long time in the name of saving the industry! Even if they want to do something good, there is a conspiracy to sabotage them. In this situation, after a long drought, the 'Chapa Dangaar Bou' suddenly brought relief with rain. In a word, it is not difficult to sit and watch this film intently. All the small and big artists have acted well. The decorations are fairly contemporary. The commercial film's well-spring Shabana has also excelled in acting. Although not equal in every place, Bappa's fluency attracts attention. However, to determine the place, one must create one's own style instead of blindly imitating his father". [14]

Wroted by Bangladesh Pratidin's survey as "Finally, on 6 June 1986, 'Chapa Dangar Bou' was released on Eid and did bumper business. On the other hand, Azizur Rahman Buli's 'Himmatwali' flopped at the box office. 'Chapa Dangar Bou' was released in only three cinema halls, while 'Himmatwali' was released in about two dozen cinema halls. Due to its immense popularity, 'Chapa Dangar Bou' was re-released all over the country the next week and 'Himmatwali' was re-released in three cinema halls". [12]

Wroted by Somoy News's survey as "Nayakraj Razzak has brought tears to the audience's eyes by bringing Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay's novel 'Chapa Dangar Bou' to celluloid". [15] Wroted by Jagonews24's survey as "Bapparaj, son of Nayakraj Razzak, made his film debut in 1986 with the film 'Chapa Dangar Bau'. He received praise for his performance in his first film". [16]

Wroted by Zoom Bangla's survey as "Hanif Sanket made his debut in the film industry with the film 'Chapa Dangar Bau', released in 1986. He played the role of a villain in this timeless film. He performed brilliantly as the village enemy of Bappa Raj, who played the hero in the film". [17]
