The preview committee for joint production films was finally launched on Tuesday.

The committee consists of eight members, seven of whom were present at the first day’s meeting.

The committee, on the first day, previewed Noor Jahaan and approved the film for censor board clearance.

The managing director of Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) Amir Hossain said, the preview committee started work on Tuesday and approved a film.

According to the new guidelines, the story of any joint production film must be original. Noor Jahaan's story is not original though.

Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar, the president of the committee said, Noor Jahaan was made under the old guidelines that did not demand original storyline.

"Despite some minor issues, the film was approved for censor board clearance", Gulzar added.

Films from now on, however, have to adhere to the new guidelines. Gulzar said the committee will ensure that all the conditions are strictly followed.

The committee will preview Swapnojaal on 5 February. This is a joint production film produced by Giasuddin Selim fom Bangladesh.
