Cast

In 1986, a theatrical release conflict arose when film distributors attempted to block the Eid release of Chapa Dangar Bou. To avoid commercial competition with Azizur Rahman Buli's film Himmatwali, the Film Distributors Association secured a temporary restraining order to prevent Chapa Dangar Bou from being screened. In response, the film's director, Abdur Razzak, pursued legal action to counter the injunction. During the court proceedings, the presiding judge noted that since Advocate Rezaur Rahman, the legal counsel for the cinema owners, was absent and the district judge had not issued any prior directives on the matter, the stay order against the distributors' restriction would remain in effect. This legal outcome effectively cleared all remaining obstacles, allowing Chapa Dangar Bou to be released during the Eid festival as scheduled.[12]

Chapa Dangar Bou directed by Nayak Raj Razzak released on June 6, 1986.[13]
