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.

This movie is simply a propaganda movie with good cinematography to promote an idea among the new generation of Bangladesh - that the Pakistani army was very much human towards ladies of Bangladesh during 1971 liberation war. This is important cause this movie got released on the eve of the starting of the trial of collaborators of Pakistani army.

It shows love affair between a "Baluch" soldier and a girl of Bangladesh. Even when the elder sister of that girl got raped brutally by Pakistan armies, the girl (Meher) fantasize about loving that "Baluch" soldier.

The movie shows freedom fighters as retarded, tired of war and just bullshits. The characters were built in a way that people will laugh at them. Muslim League - a political party of that time in Pakistan supported the genocide that time for the sake of religion. But in the movie it is showing that the freedom fighters seeking permission from a Muslim league leader for attacking a Paki base.

Fantasy or Imagination or whatever you call it --- should have a limit, specially while dealing with crucial historical fact. This movie failed to satisfy any of the criteria to be a so called "WAR AND LOVE" movie. It remains as a bullshit propaganda movie to affect the trial of collaborators of Pakistani army.

when there are only few movies about the historical war in 1971, this kind of movie will confused everyone. The director should be ashamed for it. there are many historical event about 1971, how many of them are focused already? still we cry when we read the true story from freedom fighter. this kind of movie can be made after making 1000 positive movie about our war. then people can accept it as a story. this is a propaganda and a chance to commit their act by a movie. the director tell that she is a daughter of a freedom fighter, then what about her grandfather? people of Bnagladesh know about them very well. rather it is unexpected to get a movie like this in this time when the government is for the freedom fighter. shame on you Ms director and also to your father.

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.

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!
