“Shodh” (meaning “Revenge” or “Atonement”), a Bangladeshi web film, premiered on DeeptoPlay during Eid-ul-Adha in June 2025. This compelling thriller, directed by Mahmudur Rahman Himi, delves into a dark and intricate narrative surrounding a societal taboo.
The story kicks off with a shocking incident: Rasha (Dighi), a young woman, is involved in a severe accident, which suspiciously coincides with the public announcement of filmmaker Imtiaz Khan’s wedding. Rumors immediately circulate, suggesting Rasha attempted suicide due to a secret relationship with Imtiaz. This sensational story grabs the attention of Nadia (Tanjin Tisha), a sharp entertainment journalist determined to uncover the truth.
As Nadia begins her investigation, attempting to interview Rasha about the alleged affair, she receives a chilling death threat, signaling that this is far more than a simple romantic scandal. Nadia soon realizes that everyone involved, and even those on the periphery, are playing a dangerous game of “hide and seek,” concealing deep secrets and manipulating events. While Rasha miraculously survives her ordeal, Nadia finds her own life in peril as she relentlessly pursues the hidden realities. The film, penned by Ahmed Khan Hirak, features a strong ensemble cast including Ziaul Roshan, Intekhab Dinar, and Deepa Khandaker, and aims to be a thought-provoking thriller that exposes uncomfortable truths and explores the consequences of deception.
