One of #IrrfanKhan’s last international projects – the 2017 Bangladeshi film #Doob is now streaming on @NetflixIndia. A rare “negative” role by Irrfan, he’s really good in this film and he speaks in Bengali

‘Doob’ was in news earlier for being initially banned in Bangladesh in the wake of reports that the film was loosely based on late Bangladeshi writer and filmmaker Humayun Ahmed, but the filmmaker had denied that it was a biopic and the film later received a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation.
Irrfan Khan was last seen in the 2020 Hindi film ‘Angrezi Medium’ which was initially released in the theatres but was taken down due to the coronavirus lockdown. The film eventually was released on the streaming platform Disney+Hotstar.
The movie also had Radhika Madan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranvir Shorey, and Dimple Kapadia in important roles.
The film was an emotional adieu to the actor and many were disappointed that they could not witness Khan on the big-screen for one last time.
The actor breathed his last on April 29, 2020 leaving all his fans heartbroken.
