What began as strong pre-release curiosity has now translated into sustained box office dominance, as Redoan Rony’s ‘Domm’ continues to command screens across the country well into its second week.
Rather than tapering off after the initial Eid rush, the film appears to be gaining momentum. Exhibitors are responding to persistent demand by increasing screenings, signalling a rare level of consistency in audience turnout for a local release.
Programming decisions at major multiplex chains reflect this trend. In the latest weekly schedule released by Star Cineplex, Domm leads all titles in terms of show allocation, securing the highest number of screenings across its branches. Close behind are other Eid releases, though none have managed to surpass its footprint.
A similar pattern is visible at Lion Cinemas, where the film remains firmly in rotation alongside its competitors. While other titles share screen space, Domm continues to hold its ground, indicating steady audience pull rather than a front-loaded opening.
What stands out is not just the volume of shows, but the occupancy. Many screenings have been running at full capacity, with advance tickets selling out days ahead. For exhibitors, this translates into a dependable performer at a time when audience preferences can often shift rapidly during the festive window.
The response has also extended online, where viewers have been actively discussing the film’s narrative and performances. Particular attention has been drawn to the pairing of Afran Nisho and Chanchal Chowdhury, whose first on-screen collaboration has emerged as a key talking point. Puja Cherry Roy’s role has also contributed to the film’s overall reception.
For director Redoan Rony, the project marks a notable return to cinema after a long gap, and its reception suggests a successful re-entry into the commercial landscape. The film’s blend of star power and storytelling appears to have struck a chord with audiences seeking more grounded narratives during Eid.
With its domestic run still going strong, Domm has begun extending its reach beyond Bangladesh. Screenings have already been scheduled across multiple Australian cities, with further international plans under consideration. The move indicates growing confidence in the film’s cross-border appeal, particularly among diaspora audiences.
Backed by SVF Alpha-i and Chorki, Domm has not only emerged as a leading performer of the season but also as a case study in how word-of-mouth and sustained engagement can shape a film’s trajectory beyond its opening week.
