The highly anticipated Dhallywood musical drama Rockstar, starring megastar Shakib Khan, has officially premiered in 103 cinemas across Bangladesh on the day of Eid-ul-Adha. The wide-reaching theatrical rollout spans premium multiplexes in urban hubs to traditional single-screen theatres in regional district towns, positioning the film as a dominant competitor among the half-dozen cinematic releases scheduled for the festive season.
Directed by filmmaker Azman Russo and produced under the banner of Sun Motion Pictures Limited, Rockstar chronicles the dramatic trajectory of a professional musician. The narrative explores the protagonist’s rapid ascent to stardom, the complexities of immense fame, personal emotional turmoils, and his subsequent professional and personal decline.
Comprehensive Multi-Screen Theater Distribution
The distribution network for Rockstar covers key commercial venues across the capital city and regional territories. In Dhaka, the film has secured screenings across all operational branches of Star Cineplex, alongside other modern multiplex networks.
The verified cinema distribution list within the Dhaka metropolitan and surrounding industrial zones includes the following major venues:
Star Cineplex Branches: Bashundhara City, SKS Tower (Mohakhali), Shimanto Shambhar, Soni Square (Mirpur), the Military Museum, and Uttara Center Point.
Other Major Multiplexes: Blockbuster Cinemas (Jamuna Future Park), Lion Cinemas (Keraniganj), Saba Sohana Cineplex (Tongi), and Cinescope (Narayanganj).
The film has also retained a significant footprint within Dhaka’s heritage single-screen exhibition halls, which continue to draw substantial crowds during national holidays. Notable screening venues include the historic Madhumita, Shamoli, Azad, Ananda, Geeta Cinema, Sonik Club, and the BGB Auditorium. Additionally, audiences in outlying commercial sectors can access the film at the Sena Auditorium in Savar and the Magic Movie Theatre located in Diabari.
Ensemble Cast and Production Profile
Beyond the central performance by Shakib Khan, who altered his physical appearance and reduced weight to portray the lead musician, Rockstar features a diverse ensemble cast. The film marks a collaborative onscreen pairing with prominent actresses Sabila Nur, Tanzia Zaman Mithila, and singer-actress Sunidhi Nayak.

Public Engagement and Regional Market Penetration
Industry analysts and theatre managers noted that Rockstar generated substantial public engagement prior to its theatrical debut. A phased promotional campaign featuring the release of stylized posters, character teasers, and musical tracks—including the song Amake Uriye Dao—successfully elevated viewer interest despite stiff competition from multiple concurrent Eid releases.
“The stylistic transition of Shakib Khan into a contemporary rock musician has driven robust advance ticket sales across both multiplex facilities and district halls,” a cinema representative reported.
Beyond the borders of the Dhaka division, the film has simultaneously rolled out across all major administrative divisions of Bangladesh. Exhibitors have confirmed daily showtimes in the primary single screens and regional complexes of Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Sylhet, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh, ensuring full national penetration for the holiday box office run.
