With the social and political tumultuous situation in Bengal, “The Diary of West Bengal”, can become a trigger point.
Directed by Sanoj Mishra and produced by Jitendra Narayan Singh Tyagi, this movie delves into the backdrop of 1971 Bangladesh Genocide, the movie revolves around the character Suhasini, how’s husband was killed in the genocide , later on she falls prey to “love jihad” and encounters severe religious discrimination.
Now this movie has the complete essence of Hindu vs Muslim agenda, which is already a very heated topic in bengal.
Having the current situation in mind which started with Bangladesh’s rebellious movement and now to the recent case that has happened in Kolkata, this movie will serve as a flicker of fire to burn down a whole forest, but when the forest is already burning what more could it do?
The movie was supposed to be released on 30th August, but a petition is logged where they requested the Kolkata high court to put a stay on this movie.
These kinds of movies are in trend now, where they talk about the disputes. Some of the movies are really good like “Kashmir Files” and “Kerala Stories”, but the rest of the movies are just there for cheap thrills.
We have to understand that Communal Disputes are really sensitive topics we can’t really play with them, because mcauss has the power to create a different space in the audience’s mind where they will think whatever they are watching is true.
Because it deals with communal issues, it will be better to put a hold on such cinema in this heated moment which is going on in Bangladesh as well as West Bengal as both of them are now in a unstable condition.
The Kolkata High Court said they will do the hearing tomorrow which is 29th August 2024.
