Gunday (2014)
A rubbish with no background study and research
I am not sure how come this movie passed even the censor board of India!! or I am wrong about the conception of merit of the censor board member. How come a 10 days long war (from December 6, 1971 to December 16, 1971) produce a whole new country? whereas the countrymen were fighting from previous 9 months (starting from March 26, 1971). I feel pity for the children of the writer, director and producer of the movie (if you want to call it one!) as they will be born and brought up with wrong history.
Some food for your thoughts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Liberation_War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladeshi_Declaration_of_Independence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bangladesh
Meherjaan (2011)
Propaganda movie
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.
