Rangbaz (Bengali: রংবাজ) is a 1973 Bangladeshi film starring Razzak and Kabori. It also stars Khalilur Rahman Babar in his debut as a villain,[1] and Hashmot, among others.[2] Novice Jashim played a minor character with two lines of dialogue and a more important role behind the scenes as an action choreographer.[3]
It is often called the country's first action movie.[3][4] Razzak, playing a gangster from the slums,[5] introduced the antihero form to Bangladeshi cinema.[6]
In 2017, Kaler Kantho listed Rangbaz among Razzak's ten best films.[4] Upon his death in 2017, Channel i said his uniqueness made Rangbaz a "super-duper hit".[7] According to academic Maswood Akhter, a strong plot and good music made the film a "massive hit".[5]
