I can never raise questions about Shakib Khan's acting. He is a genuine pride of our Bangladesh. In Dard, he has given such a good expression that the role of thriller has increased to a large extent.
The way the plot is arranged by the director, writer Mr. Ananya Mamun, is undoubtedly of international standard. I expect more good movies from him.
Funny but ironic, the cinematography is so good that you hold your pee so as not to miss a single part of the movie. VFX , BGM , color grading are in one word outstanding. Everyone tried to give the best from his place. That should be it. Sonal Chauhan's simple, soft Bengali look has impressed me.
Go watch at your near theatre. Happy Watching!

This obviously proofs one point that doom is right upon us. The dialogue, acting performance, elements were poorly executed. Visuals effects, color depth, looks backward. Set pieces feels unrealistic. Story has no major plotpoint its underwritten. The filmmakers, screeners &
production is only to be blamed. Because, of their ignorance & inexperience bd cinema is near its extinction.
Number of cinema halls & Stars are insufficient. Most of them lacking dance, acting, appearances & figure compare to Bollywood. They're just here for the paycheck & don't care if their film performance or creating aware There busy making headlines of their controversies, remarriage & divorce. And film industry dont even hire & search for new talents from the society or general public. Look around even Nezha 2, Pushpa 2 both burnt their pre existing box office records & created their own record in global. Also War 2 & Avatar 3 even making news when its far from release.
Now where are we & what we have to complete. Furthermore, law & certification is hindering process of creativity & making. Method of giving rating & approval by content according to the age should be followed. Industry insiders must address this issue properly before its too late.

After the brilliance of Toofan, expectations for Dard (2024) were naturally sky-high. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't come close to delivering. Directed by Anonno Mamun, it feels like a rushed project with lackluster execution across most areas.
While Shakib Khan's performance is, as always, commendable and the plot had some potential, the rest falls flat. The casting feels uninspired, the cinematography and color grading are dull, and the script is riddled with clichés and glaring plot holes. It's an odd mix of typical Dhallywood melodrama with hints of Tollywood flair, but the execution lacks polish.
Despite Shakib Khan's best efforts to elevate the movie, Dard is ultimately a letdown. If you're a die-hard fan, it might be worth a watch for him alone, but otherwise, it's skippable.
Rating: 4/10.

🎬 Film Review: Dard (2024)
Genre: Psychological Thriller
No Spoilers
A doctor and a superstar actor are murdered in the city. Is Dulu Mia responsible, or is someone else behind it? To find out, you need to watch Dard.
Expectations from a Shakib Khan movie are typically low. Criticizing his work often invites unpleasant backlash, and even mentioning that you've watched his films may provoke ridicule. Moreover, the controversial director Anonno Mamun is known for creating more buzz than delivering results. While Shakib Khan has been striving to deliver cleaner films since last year, Anonno Mamun's filmography is almost devoid of hits. With this combination, I had no intention of watching this movie. But after watching it, I realized I had been wrong.
✅ Positives:
1. Shakib Khan's brilliant performance in a psycho role - He is evolving, carefully selecting scripts, which is commendable. While he was once criticized for poor-quality films and acting, his efforts to redefine his career deserve applause. His chemistry with Sonal Chauhan is lively, and the emotional scenes are well-executed.
2. A unique concept for Bangladeshi cinema - To my knowledge, this kind of storyline is unprecedented in the industry, and the trailer didn't give much away. The overall plot was quite engaging.
3. A fast-paced screenplay - The narrative never drags or feels stretched unnecessarily, ensuring you're not bored at any point.
4. Background music and cinematography - While the BGM is slightly loud, it effectively sets a thrilling atmosphere. The location in Varanasi and the cinematography stand out. Additionally, Imran's song is the only one that truly touched my heart.
⛔ Negatives:
1. Predictability - The film becomes too predictable, especially for viewers accustomed to watching thrillers. They'll likely figure out everything from the start.
2. Weak dialogue in romantic scenes - While the performances make up for it, the romantic portions could have benefitted from better writing.
3. Over-the-top comedy and villain portrayal - Some of Shakib's comedic scenes feel a bit loud, though not unbearable. The negative characters could have been more distinct to deliver a stronger impact.
4. Underwhelming climax twist - The twist in the climax could have been presented better. The director attempts to leave some aspects unexplained but ends up making it feel incomplete.
Final Thoughts:
Judging films solely by their box office performance is unfair. This movie is clearly targeted at a classy audience, not Shakib Khan's typical fanbase, who may not appreciate it. Neutral viewers, however, might expect a more polished screenplay. The lack of effective promotion, a non-festive release, and Anonno Mamun's marketing missteps could lead to its commercial failure.
Overall, Dard felt like a reasonably good movie. The most surprising elements were Shakib Khan's impressive acting and Anonno Mamun's unexpectedly enjoyable direction. With a more refined screenplay, the twists could have been genuinely surprising.
