Bhubaneswar: The much-awaited Biju Babu, Nila Madhab Panda’s first Odia feature film, released on Friday, 29th Mar amidst a lot of fanfare and expectations. Grand premiers were held at Brundavan Talkies Cuttack and Cinepolis Bhubaneswar, apart from releasing all over Odisha. Reportedly, Biju Babu has already created a record of sorts by releasing in over 90 theatres across Odisha.
Going by the initial feedback from those who managed to catch the first shows for Biju Babu, theatres appear to be going fully packed, and the film is proving to be an out and out action-comedy-thriller as was indicated by Nila Madhab earlier.
In response to this, Nila Madhab said, “Today, 29th Mar is a truly memorable day in my life. I’m presenting my first Odia feature film inspired by the words of legend Biju Babu. It’s meant to fight the new drugs in our society called fake news, that is deeply impacting our society today. I hope the film serves its purpose well in this regard. Today, we, the Biju Babu Team, also dedicate the song ‘Bande Utkala Janani’ from my film ‘Biju Babu’ to Odisha and its people. About this song, I just want to let everyone know that it has been composed by none other than the exceptional trio Shankar Ehsaan and Loy, and voiced by the legend herself, Asha Bhonsle ji, along with her granddaughter. And finally, I also woke up to this call from Sweden earlier today, informing me that my recent Hindi feature film ‘Halkaa’ just won the Best Comedy Feature Film at the Buff International Film Festival in Sweden. As an Odia, it makes me feel immensely proud today to present this Triple Bonanza to my State!”
We are hoping, Biju Babu is all set to bring about a revolutionary change in the Ollywood film industry and will be definitely attracting people from all age and interest brackets. Being an out and out family entertainer, the film weaves through the spirit and philosophy of the iconic leader Biju Babu. Alongside a strong message and story line, the film appears to be packed with solid doses of romance, comedy, music, dance and thrills. It’s bound to enthral audiences with its soothing songs composed by renowned music director Prem Anand. The lead actors in the film Superstar Anubhav Mohanty and Supriya Nayak have portrayed their characters to absolute perfection. The debutante director duo of ‘Biju Babu’, Devi Prasad Lenka and Vishal Mourya, are also as excited with this release as is the rest of the cast and crew!
