This essay investigates the debates surrounding obscenity in films from Bangladesh, with a focus on those created by the state-owned Film Development Corporation (FDC). In 2001, numerous female performers were accused of being obscene or ‘vulgar’ in their roles, igniting a vigorous discussion among film enthusiasts, scholars, and the wider public. The accusations, driven by conservative moral perspectives, resulted in the condemnation of these actresses, including one from the neighboring city of Kolkata, India. This chapter seeks to analyze the concept of obscenity in Bangladeshi cinema, examining the connections between censorship, morality, and cultural values. By examining the discussions related to this controversy, it aims to explore the power relations involved among the social classes both within and beyond the film industry, moralist governance that shapes social discourses in understanding the visual industry, and the overt nature of hegemonic middle-class taste that undermines class scenario of the industry.
