Borbaad is a 2025 Bangladeshi romantic action thriller film written and directed by Mehedi Hassan Hridoy, in his directorial debut. The film is produced by Shahreen Akter Sumi and Azeem Haroon under the respective banners of Real Energy Production and Ridhi Sidhi Entertainment. The film features an ensemble cast including Shakib Khan, Idhika Paul, Jisshu Sengupta and Misha Sawdagor in the lead roles.
The film was reportedly scheduled to begin in late August or September 2024. However, filming was delayed due to the anti-discrimination student movement in Bangladesh during July and August. After a delay of almost a month, principal photography finally began on October 20, 2024, at Ellora Studios in Mumbai, India. It brings together Shakib Khan and Idhika Paul in their second collaboration following the success of Priyotoma (2023), which became the second highest grossing Bangladeshi film of all time. This also marks the first collaboration between Khan and Jisshu Sengupta, who has made his comeback to Bangladeshi cinema after nearly 23 years; having previously appeared in the 2002 film Moner Majhe Tumi. Made with a ৳15–৳18 crore production budget, the film is one of the most expensive Bangladeshi film ever-made.
Borbaad was theatrically released on March 31, 2025 on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. Upon release, the film received rave reviews from critics and audiences, with praise for its cast performances, direction, screenwriting, soundtrack, cinematography and action sequences, though it faced some criticism for its formulaic story line and graphic violence. The film broke several box office records for a Bangladeshi film and emerged as a major box office success. With a reported ৳75 crore worldwide gross, the film stands as the highest grossing Bangladeshi film of 2025 as well as the highest grossing Bangladeshi film of all time.
