I have recently seen many films like "Fantastic animals and where to find them", "Belle and Sebastien", the "Harry Potter" saga and others. They were all beautiful but my favorite is Harry Potter!

The last films I’ve seen was the saga of “High school musical”. I’ve never had the opportunity to watch them, but during the quarantine, finally, I took the time. They’re really good and I’ll watch them again.

Yes, there is one I did a few weeks back! 50 First Dates. It was a rom-com and an amazing one, I must say!! It was so beautiful, balanced with a perfect mix of humor and the story really touched my heart. The male lead is goals! The acting and everything was great too. Oh, it has definitely entered in my list of all-time favorites!

#Question: What films have you seen recently? Were they good? #Answer: I've seen "The Man of Steel" recently. And that film was really awesome! I liked it so much. I saw it on the channel HBO. It's an American version movie actually. But most of the time I watch Bengali comedy. The favourite actors of mine are A.K.M. Hasan, Musharraf Karin, Zahid Hasan.
