In a world racing ahead with artificial intelligence, Bangladesh finds itself under attack—not by soldiers or bombs, but by an invisible digital force.

In a world racing ahead with artificial intelligence, Bangladesh finds itself under attack—not by soldiers or bombs, but by an invisible digital force. Antarjal, the nation’s first cyber-thriller, takes audiences into this unseen battlefield where firewalls become fortresses and the enemy lurks behind lines of code.

The story follows a group of brilliant young minds—a programmer, a cybersecurity specialist, a robotics engineer, and a CID officer—who refuse to stand idle while their country faces collapse. Armed with intellect, courage, and unshakable hope, they rise to prove that the youth of Bangladesh can be as powerful as any army. In this fight, machines clash with minds, and one question lingers: can knowledge and determination outsmart a faceless enemy?

Directed by Dipankar Dipon and powered by stellar performances from Siam Ahmed, Bidya Sinha Saha Mim, ABM Sumon, and Sunerah Binte Kamal, the film fuses action, suspense, and emotion into a story that feels both urgent and inspiring. Produced by Motion People Studio and Spellbound Leo Burnett, Antarjal is more than entertainment—it’s a vision of resilience in the digital age.

Released on September 22, 2023, in 185 theaters across Bangladesh and the USA, the film later reached an even larger audience on Toffee OTT, where it set streaming records and captivated countless viewers. More than just a movie, Antarjal stands as a powerful reminder of the creativity, resilience, and fighting spirit of a new generation guarding the nation’s future.
