Cast

Release

Jannat received approval from the Bangladesh Film Censor Board in the last week of March 2018 without cuts.[2] It released in Bangladesh on 23 screens on 22 August 2018 during the Eid al-Adha holiday. According to newspapers The Daily Star and New Age, it did not do well at the box office.[3] [4]

One theater, the Sangeeta Cinema Hall in Satkhira, withdrew the film at the direction of police, after a complaint from the Imam Association Satkhira saying that Jannat might "hurt the religious sentiments of the people".[5]
