    really bad

    It is a totally bad movie based upon all the lies. Do not watch this movie. In this movie the director did not actually explain the true scenario of our independence war. That was not only a simple riot that was a 9months long war to achieve our independence from brutal Pakistani army. Pakistani army raped 3million women from age of 6 to 65 during the war and killer more than 10 million people. There is no mention about this. The director tried to give just her own opinion which is all based on lies. Really feeling ashamed to say she is a Bangladeshi, i wish we don't have this type of person in our country. So people do not waste your time watching this.

    Waste of time

    I read a lot about the movie, so I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. I wish I hadn't. I am not going to add more about the blatant lie and twisted history the director presented. Even putting that aside, the movie is awful. The acting is poor, the story is incoherent. The costume design and dialog is ridiculous, no one in that time used to dress and speak like that. There are some hints about homosexuality which is totally out of the blue. I heard the movie was attracting people (may be because of all the controversiality), but when I went, there were only 20something people in theater. I guess that should have been my clue to leave the theater and save my time. The people present burst out laughing whenever there was an emotional moment, which denotes the quality of acting.

    If you want my advice, save your time and money and don't go watch it.

    Absolute Rubbish; this flick deserves to be in the sewers...

    One of the worst movies in the history of Bangladesh. The movie spreads a blatant LIE of unfathomable magnitude. The director, according to various reports is an ISI-funded activist with the political agenda of confusing a wider new-generation audience. Absolute distortion of historical facts have been depicted, and a heinous effort of misleading the perception of unaware audience is apparent. People from all spheres with slightest knowledge regarding the Liberation War of Bangladesh have condemned this blunder of a movie. Thousands have voiced their frustrations regarding the movie content and how it might be viewed as utterly shameless 'Goebbelsian Propaganda'.

    My advice: "Do not even think of wasting time watching this utter rubbish. And if you really do, please do not conceive the LIES the director systematically portrayed"

    ...in the back drop of the war

    My 2 cents 1- Most reviewers have not seen the movie 2- hey are running amok by passion thats clouding what the director is trying to show (words like ISI, Pakistani propaganda and giving a history about Bangladesh war) 3- Director is not glorifying Pakistan army! Even that army and its people consider 1971 war an ill fated and bad move. 4-Director simply is depicting human emotions that can be varied even at times of war, one can fall for the enemy! 5- Just take it as a story and do not extrapolate it don't bring your opinions about sex slavery and stuff those have been well documented in books, read them! 6- Put your unbiased goggles on, take a sip of Anti-passion tea and watch the movie!

    Really?

    Don't know what all the controversies were regarding this, but the film sucks balls. Did the critics really applaud this trash? Tripe for the garbage bin.
