Moushumis Contract Marriage Teaser Draws Audience Buzz

The teaser for Dhallywood actress Priyadarshini Moushumi’s film ‘Contract Marriage,’ slated for a May 15 theatrical release, was unveiled on Thursday, May 7, immediately drawing a storm of criticism from netizens and fans who expressed profound disappointment over its perceived low quality and controversial origins. The backlash on social media platforms, particularly YouTube where the teaser debuted, has led to intense debate and sharp commentary questioning the film’s standards.
Online users were quick to condemn the production, questioning the rationale behind investing in such “low-quality” content and who its intended audience might be. One netizen lamented, “It’s astonishing to be subjected to such inedible films even in 2026,” while another quipped that the teaser had already revealed the entire movie. These sentiments were echoed by dedicated fans of actress Moushumi, who expressed dismay at seeing the acclaimed artist associated with such a project.
The controversy stems from the film’s unexpected evolution. Originally, ‘Contract Marriage’ was reportedly conceived as a web content project, a format Moushumi had agreed to for her participation. However, filmmaker Hasan Jahangir allegedly expanded it into a full-length feature film, a move that has drawn the ire of both Moushumi and her husband, actor Omar Sani. They claim a low-quality film was produced using Moushumi’s image, rather than the short-form content initially discussed.
Actress Moushumi herself expressed astonishment that the project was released as a feature film and subsequently received censor certification. She stated that the work was “unethically” presented in a different manner without her knowledge, and she felt she was used like “cut-pieces.”
Actor Omar Sani had previously voiced his strong objections in a video message, asserting that ‘Contract Marriage’ was not a film but merely a drama shot in the United States. He urged authorities to halt its release, arguing that the content would not meet audience expectations. Moushumi later clarified her position, explaining that she had agreed to act in a one-hour drama in the U.S. at the director’s request, only to be later informed that it would be released as a telefilm due to excess footage.
Despite the widespread criticism and allegations, filmmaker Hasan Jahangir remains undeterred. He stated that upon its release, the film would deliver many positive messages to its audience.
