In 1969, M. A. Yunus started the construction of Modhuban in Bogra. Construction was delayed during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In 2016, Shaikhuzzaman, a son of RM Yunus and one of the directors of Modhuban, questioned the quality of the movie theater when he saw the condition of the movie theater during the screening of
Aynabaji. He then planned to renovate it. After 1990s, it was closed two more times. After closing in 2013/2014 and later closing again in 2018 due to financial losses, its owner started the initiative to renovate and convert it as a
multiplex. Due to incomplete renovations, Rubel was unable to open the movie theater in 2019 as planned. Then, due to the onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic, it was not possible to proceed with the renovation work. After three and a half years of the renovation work, the movie theater was opened on 15 October 2021 with the new name "Modhuban Cineplex". Indian film
Baazi, from
Kolkata, was screened in the movie theater that day. The audience response to Baazi was lukewarm and with ticket sales below expectations. The film
Chironjeeb Mujib was premiered in this movie theater instead of movie theatres in
Dhaka. In 2022, the cinema hall was sold out for
Hawa, every single showing for the movie which was a record for the theatre. According to Rubel,
Talash and
Omanush performed poorly in the theatre. He also mentioned showing Indian (Hindi language) movies were necessary for the theatre to survive financially. ==Features==
