Rupban (Bengali: রূপবান) is a 1965 East Pakistani Bengali-language black-and-white film written and directed by Salahuddin.[1][2][3] Actors included Sujata, Mansur, and Chandona.[1]

Dewan Mahbubul Alam in the Bangla Movie Database describes Rupban as a major hit in the history of Bangladeshi cinema.[2]

According to Sabbir Chowdhury's IMDB biography of Salahuddin,[4]

"Rupban (1965), was a milestone in our film history. At a time when there was an influx of Urdu-language films and our Bangla cinema was facing tremendous challenge, Salahuddin came up with a folk-based story to confront it. This film is an adaptation of a popular 'Jatra' or folk theater of the same name…The plot revolves around the tribulations of Rupban, who is married to Rahim Badshah (King Rahim) twelve years younger to her. When Rupban was twelve, she was married to the just-born Rahim. She has to bring him up all by herself like a mother, but she is in reality, his wife. Rahim cannot consider Rupban as his wife, as she is like a mother to him. As a result, when Rahim grew up, he became attracted to another woman called Tajel. Dealing with the 'Oedipus complex', it was really a bold step on behalf of Salahuddin at a time when our film industry was just growing up."[4]

The film had a production budget of Pakistani ₨ 150,000.
