Habib successful in demand for 300 cineplex
The current state of film in Bangladesh is very deplorable. One of the reasons is not having a good display system. The construction of modern cinema halls is the demand of the time now. Film director Habibul Islam Habib has been vocal for almost three years demanding construction of a modern cinema hall. He said that three years ago, he applied for the construction of a cineplex along with the Prime Minister's Office. Since then, the builder has been steadfast in his goal of building a cineplex.
The director demanded that one cineplex be built in each of the 300 constituencies of the country. According to him, a parliamentary seat means the address of a region of the country.
In fact, he has been making this claim alone. But this demand should be made by everyone involved in the film. If a cineplex is built in a parliamentary seat, we will get 300 cineplexes in the whole country. Habib thinks that it will play a big role in the development of cinema. Most recently, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced the construction of 300 cineplexes in 300 seats. Not only that, the Prime Minister has also expressed his intention to build one cultural complex in each district. That is why Habib is now completely successful after a long struggle.
Habib said that the environment of the cinema hall needs to be improved in time. When people come to see the movie, they get the opportunity to shop and the food is well arranged. Cineplex is needed to ensure a modern environment where people can hang out.
Habib said, ‘Look, building a cineplex means not only cinema halls, but also a chain market is being born there. When the cineplex is built, there will be shopping malls as well as food stalls. In fact, the place is becoming a center of the region. But it will change the model of development of Bangladesh’.
Meanwhile, if a good movie is not made, how will a good hall be built? In response to such a question, Habib said, “Many people ask me, I want Cineplex. Let's say it's Cineplex. Where is the good movie? What good is a cineplex if it doesn't make good movies? One of my words to them is don't go into this debate before the egg or the chicken. If Cineplex is built, good movies will also be made”.
