Key Points

To examine how contemporary Bangladeshi cinema reproduces and resists misogyny, patriarchal dominance, and gendered power structures.
Conducted an exploratory, qualitative investigation using textual analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA).
Analyzed two contrasting contemporary Bangladeshi feature films: Poran and Rehana Maryam Noor.
Poran normalizes possessive masculinity and compulsive romance, reinforcing hegemonic male entitlement over female agency within patriarchal frameworks.
Rehana Maryam Noor disrupts conventional spectatorship and institutional patriarchy through restrained acting, narrative silence, and an oppositional gaze that resists female objectification.
