The glamour of Dhallywood continues to shine, with a new generation of actresses making their mark despite a decline in cinema halls and film production. While the golden days of mass releases are behind us, a fresh crop of stars is keeping the industry alive, bringing new energy to both the big screen and streaming platforms.

Among the most in-demand actresses of the moment is Tama Mirza, a National Film Award winner, who gained acclaim for her performance in “Surongo”. Her recent film “Daagi”, released during Eid, is still running in theatres and has also premiered internationally. “All my dreams revolve around cinema. I want nothing more than to fulfil them,” said Tama, who is also active on OTT platforms.

Shobnom Bubly, who debuted opposite superstar Shakib Khan, has become a household name. Her recent films, “Prohelika” and “Jongli”, have earned praise both at home and abroad. She remains busy with upcoming projects.

Sunerah Binte Kamal, who won the National Award for her debut in “No Dorai”, is also making waves. She starred in “Daagi” and is set to appear in a new film titled “Utsob”, expected to release this Eid-ul-Azha.

Nusraat Faria, who works across films in both Dhaka and Kolkata, recently returned to the silver screen with “Jinn 3”, released during Eid-ul-Fitr after a hiatus.

Bidya Sinha Mim, who began her journey with “Amar Ache Jol”, directed by Humayun Ahmed, is preparing for several upcoming releases. She will next take the lead in “Digonte Fuler Agun”, portraying late author Panna Kaiser. “If the story and character are good, I’ll join a new project,” Mim said, adding that she is currently reviewing scripts.

Pori Moni, one of Dhallywood’s most talked-about stars, recently appeared in the West Bengal production  “Felubakshi” and a web-film in Bangladesh. With films like “Gunin” and “Swapnajal” behind her, she has more releases lined up, including “Dodor Golpo”. “I want to work on projects that stir the audience,” she had shared.

Prarthana Fardin Dighi, once a celebrated child artiste, is now juggling both films and OTT work. Her latest film “Jongli” premiered last Eid-ul-Fitr, and she’s expected to sign new projects soon. “I’m hopeful that something exciting is coming,” Dighi said.

Puja Cherry remains one of the more prominent young actresses. Her past hits have garnered critical and public praise. Last year’s Eid release “Lipstick” was a fan favourite, and this year she’s expected to appear in “Tagar”.

Jaya Ahsan, widely acclaimed for her performances in both Bangladesh and India, continues to balance Dhallywood, Kolkata cinema, and even Bollywood. Her film “Joya and Sharmin” was released today, with another film, “Utshob” slated for release this Eid-ul-Azha.

Other notable actresses active in the industry include Apu Biswas, Bobby, Irene, and Shirin Shila, all contributing to our evolving narrative.
