India to help Bangladesh produce films on PM Hasina, her father Mujibur before polls there

None can stop us. None can destroy us. None can divide our race. Dravidian is back. We must triumph!
Now, we can ready ourselves with the sounds of horn and bugles. Cheers!! Dravidian the Messiah has arrived to adore @UKBengali, but where is that moron with IQ level less than 49? You two will become close friends, I believe.

This lady is a narcissistic hag. She names everything after her father - a bizillion roads/streets, buildings, bridges, university halls. Hell even Bangladesh's first spaceborne satellite after him. A documentry was a must on her bucketlist .A lot of our die hard secular scum BALs worship Sheikh Mujib Rahman as their God with statues of him in public. Tawba Tawba.

Of course this documentry won't be portraying Mujib's sons as gundas who robbed government banks and getting caught, while their father(Mujib) scrambled to bail them out, clear their name and record of any criminal acts.

I believe the sons also kidnapped some army guy's wife, which precipitated in the complete assassination of the whole Mujib family by said army guy himself? I wonder if that will be shown in the movie/documentary....

It would be better for India to make a picture on the subject of expelling IA troops from Bangladesh in May (?) 1972 by Mujib although Tajuddin Ahmed the wartime PM signed a 20-year defense treaty with India before IA troops attacked PA troops in eastern Pakistan.

I am happy to note that it was a correct slap on the face of India by Mujib. India should celebrate this event in the documentary. Another story when Mujib was alive. Indian High Commissioner complained that there has been a riot in "Shankhari Patti" in Dhaka and Hindus there are being murdered by the local Muslims. He insisted on a quick investigation. Mujib called one of his assistants and asked him to check if the "Malauns" are being killed or brutalized. He used the word in the presence of the High Commissioner with a don't care attitude.

How about the contribution Mujib made during the Pakistan Movement in Bengal when he was a school student? Will India focus on it? If not, it will be a one-sided story written by Hasina herself whereby she will ask India to portray him as an anti-Pakistani leader. But, I have read the "অসমাপ্ত আত্মজীবনী" or "Unfinished Biography" Mujib himself wrote when he was in the jail during Pakistan period after 1947. It testifies how he fought as a political disciple of Hussain Shahid Suhrawardy to create Pakistan.

India proposed names of three directors: Shyam Benegal, Goutam Ghose and Kaushik Ganguly
The biopic based on the life and work of the Father of the Nation will be released on the centenary of Bangabandhu's birth in 2020

Bangladesh-India will jointly produce a biopic on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Earlier last year, New Delhi and Dhaka agreed to jointly produce the biopic and a documentary film on the Liberation War of Bangladesh as well. The documentary will be released in 2021.

The film will be based on the life and work of the Father of the Nation. India has proposed three possible Indian directors to direct the film - Shyam Benegal, Goutam Ghose and Kaushik Ganguly. Bangladesh has not proposed any directors yet.

However, the director will be finalised in a meeting held at the end of next month between information ministry officials of both countries.

All three Indian directors have vast work experience, international recognition, and success.

Shyam Benegal is a veteran director who directed "The Forgotten Hero," the biopic on the Indian leader Subhas Chandra Bose's life. 83-year-old director was awarded the highest award in Indian cinema for lifetime achievement.

Goutam Ghose has experience of directing Indo-Bangla joint ventures for a long time. Goutam directed "Padma Nadir Majhi" featuring actors from both Bangladesh and India. In 2016 he directed “Shankhachil”, another joint production of India and Bangladesh. He has won 16 National Awards and many international awards like the Silver Balloon Award, the Nantes Film Festival Award, and the Cannes Film Festival.

Kaushik Ganguly is known for his works that explore sexuality. He is popular both in Dhaka and Kolkata film industry for his film “Bishorjan” starring Jaya Ahsan and Abir Chattapadhyay. The film has bagged numerous awards and was praised by the critics.

Selecting the director will not be an easy process. Actors will be selected once the director has been finalised. Both countries are trying to start the production as soon as possible since the film will be released on the birth centenary of Bangabandhu in 2020.

He spent all of his time living in Dak Bungalows of Mianwali,Sahiwal and Lyallpur.
Hasina was kid back then.
What they would show?I guess there may be a new theory,unknown to us like 26th March independence declaration,3 million kills and lakh of rapes.

I doubt the current govt. will be interested in portraying realism during 1971 much. That being said, you probably weren't around then, neither was I. Take it for what it is - a public relations exercise.

The fact that these people agreed to direct this 'biopic' has lost my philosophical and critical respect for each and every one of these filmmakers. Shyam Benegal too? :disagree:

They should have politely bowed out of the whole affair, but they did not.

Without even going into specific speculations - I can tell all of you that they will have 'zilch' in terms of directorial freedom. Prepared manuscript towing party line re-writing and whitewashing history. Foregone conclusion.

Was a traitor
Traitors were ZA Bhutto, Qazilbash President Yahya Khan and his army general Niazi and others in the east. How come Mujib was a traitor when he was sitting in the jails in the west in 1971? Neither Bhutto or Yahya Khan had the minimum courtesy of meeting with him to resolve the issues between the two wings. They were so thick headed!! They were waiting for the US to come forward to stop the breaking of the country.

"অসমাপ্ত আত্মজীবনী" or "Unfinished Biography"
Sorry for the inadvertent mistake. The "অসমাপ্ত আত্মজীবনী" of Sk. Mujib should be translated in English as "The Unfinished Memoir", but I do not know what the translator of this book named it.

Prove me wrong. Was not Sk. Mujib arrested on 26 March morning and sent to Karachi/west Pakistan for a long jail vacation? Is it not true that Bhutto and Yahya Khan, the two villains of Pakistan politics, did cancel the March 25 Parliament Session in Dhaka? was it not Bhutto who wanted to break the legs of those MLAs who would dare to go to Dhaka? Was it not Bhutto who proposed two PMs, one in the east and the other in the west?

I do not need to prove anything. Mujib was a traitor and he was killed like a traitor he was.

You can make as much movies about him as you like and try and paint Pakistan as a genocidal country.

I do not need to say Pakistan is a genocidal country even 46 years after 1971. Almost every day Pakistan is killing its own people in hundreds by bombings. One can see the 1971 traits.
