Tauquir Ahmed's new film "Haldaa", released barely a few days ago, has made it big at the box office. Now being screened in 90 cinema halls across the country, the film is about to soar off to the US where it is slated to screen in 11 theatre halls in five states on December 8.

Film goers in New York City, Virginia, Dallas, Los Angeles and Florida will be the lucky ones to see the film.

Director Tauquir Ahmed stated, “Prior to its release, I was on tenterhooks about the audience's response to 'Haldaa.' It is a big relief to get such positive feedback. It gives me even greater satisfaction to give Bangalis abroad a chance to watch the film.”

Zahid Hasan, who plays the lead role in the new film, is equally elated. “America is home to millions of Bangladeshis, and most of the time they are unable to enjoy our work to the extent as their families and friends at home. All that is changing now, and I am really proud that we have been able to reach this far,” he said.

Tisha, who plays the central character, Hashi, has been on cloud nine since the film's release. Accolades have been pouring in about her stellar performance, and the actor stated, “Bangalis living in five major states in the US can now enjoy the film, and I really hope that 'Haldaa' finds success wherever it goes.”

Cast member Fazlur Rahman Babu echoed the same view. “Tauquir Ahmed is a very talented director, as well as a captivating storyteller. It makes me happy that the American audience can now enjoy the film,” he said.
