Niel, Dhaka: Movies have always been a part of entertainment. In their prime, people take it as a part of their entertainment. But over the years, we have seen films used by politicians for their own interests. Nowadays, it has been a trend to release political films. Over the years in India, it has become a routine. Kashmir Files or Kerala Story are prime examples of that.

While biopics are supposed to be based on real stories, political agendas are often presented in ways that serve specific political purposes.
For example, a film that presents a controversial political figure in a positive light can legitimise him and increase his support.

Time is going thick and fast, elections are near, and there is now a rush to make biopics, documentaries, and various types of videos in Bangladesh. The ruling party Awami League is doing this kind of thing mainly to influence the common people before the elections.

Through these visual works, just as we are being shown as the best, the thinking of opposition parties is being shown as a negative character.

One such documentary poster by Fisheries and Animal Resources Minister S. M. Rezaul Karim is doing the rounds on Facebook. There are various allegations against this controversial minister, starting with the forgery of the Liberation War certificate and the occupation of government plots. and the documentary that's made about him named Je Pradip Zole (The Light That Lit), which is also being promoted on Facebook.

Similarly, ICT Minister Junaid Ahmed Palak has also been seen holding 'Adalat' (court) in his area for the past few days and promoting his videos through social media. And it is what analysts are taking those as propaganda too.
