Priyotoma (Bengali: প্রিয়তমা; Bengali pronunciation: [priʲot̪ɔma] ; transl. Sweetheart) is a 2023 Bangladeshi romantic action film. The film was directed by Himel Ashraf, and is the second he has directed. It was produced by Arshad Adnan under the banner of Versatile Media. The film story was written by late Faruk Hossain alone and Himel Ashraf jointly wrote the screenplay and dialogues with him. It is a tragic love story that left an indelible mark on Sumon's (played by Shakib Khan) life, shattering his world and left him forever transformed, featuring Idhika Paul, Shahiduzzaman Selim and Lutfur Rahman George in the lead role. Many others including Elina Shammi, Don and Shiba Shanu performed important roles.
In 2017, Shakib Khan announced the film under his production. Six years after this announcement the principal photography of the film officially began on 8 May 2023, under Arshad Adnan's production. It was wrapped up on 21 June 2023. The film's first look was revealed on 2 June 2023, although no trailer was released.[9] It got censor clarification on 22 June 2022. The film was shot mostly in Dhaka, Sylhet and Sunamganj with sporadic schedules in Cox's Bazar and Bandarban. The music was composed by Akassh, Prince Mahmud and Sajid Sarker, cinematography handled by Saiful Shaheen, choreographed by Baba Yadav and editing was by Simit Ray Antor. Priyotoma has set several box office records and went on to become the highest grossing Bangladeshi film of 2023[7] as well as the highest grossing Bangladeshi film of all time. As of 2023, it is also the highest-grossing film of Khan's career surpassing his 2008 blockbuster Priya Amar Priya. The film won nine awards including Best Actor and Best Actress in the Special Honors category at the 22nd Babisas Awards.[10]
