FILMS IN THE DRAMA CATEGORYLast year, the Bangla Academy Awards policy was amended for the inclusion of literary films or aesthetically pleasing films in the drama category.

Literary luminaries such as Nurul Momen, Munier Choudhury, Anis Chowdhury, Mamunur Rashid, Maloy Bhowmick have received the Bangla Academy Award.
