Gunday

Its making money and thats the headline. Just a spoiled effort. Action and over-dramatic dialogues are its USP. Rest is just another Bollywood weekend movie.Bangladesh liberation war was modified as Indo-Pak war without giving proper exposure to facts. Bangladesh was born from the war between India and Pakistan ! Thats the terrible blunder. So any person who knows the facts will be disappointed. As we know from the previous review Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who declared the independence of Bangladesh in 26 March, 1971 and after that the war began between East and West Pakistan. East Pakistan later became Bangladesh, a sovereign state. Along with 90000 soldiers Pakistan army surrendered to the commander in chief of India and Bangladesh joint forces.The movie violated the sovereign feeling of Bangladeshi peoples. I'd rather prefer to watch "The Busturd Child" (2013) Hindi drama film directed by Mrityunjay Devvrat showing and emphasizing the real events that took place during 70's.

I, as a Bangladeshi, strongly protest the film story. I know most of the film are fictional but we can't deny that movie do express a lot rather than anything. Whenever a fictional movie/series is made it comes with a disclaimer. This movie has mocked our liberation war which is the pride of our nation. As, a Bangladeshi I am still thankful to India that they helped us during the war, but that never give them any right to express it as their own battle. I wonder how the banner approved the movie! It should have been judged by a moral view. It insults our nation, our pride, our survival during the war. I protest it.

This film start with misleading and wrong information.

****Yashraj productions shouldn't allow such a script, it will loose its respect, if it doesn't do anything about it.

***** Irfan khan is a respected actor, he should not read those dialogues !!!!!

"at some point one of the actor says, Bangladeshis consider themselves indians that is not true. Bangladeshis are proud to be Bangladeshis. They have respect for themselves and they have respect for indians. I wish and request Indian people will have the same. Indian army helped in the liberation war of 1971, that is true, and Bangladeshis are grateful and they highly appreciate that help. but what writer tried to show in the film was "Bangladesh was created from the war between Pakistan and India !!!!!! writer tried to humiliate Bangladeshis by showing that army officer was gay and "Bangladeshi refugees" and many others.

Bollywood films have much bigger audience, please take some responsibilities and don't write anything without research, specially topic like "liberation history" which is very sensitive and very close to their heart.

The one area where Bollywood has achieved excellence and perfection is publicity / promotion. The art of pre release promotion has taught them how to sell their even average / substandard productions at good profits. The much awaited, hyped and promoted "Gunday" is finally out in the theaters and yet again, net result is "Total Disappointment". The movie from head to toe lacks attraction in any field (Story, Music, Direction & even Acting).The handsome combo of Ranvir and Kapoor proved insufficient. Irfan Khan selected a B Grade movie and disappointed his fans. PC is continuously on the way to destruction with another flop appearance. The charisma of YRF and embodied cast could not bring desired results. Although film may achieve a good business (May touch the magical Figure of 100 Crores Club)but it can not be termed a movie to watch. The idea of late 80s once again failed. It is a wake up call. I mean how long audience can be fooled by exaggerated promos and publicity. At last, it will fall. So Wake Up!!!!

I would like to introduce myself as one of the Bangladeshi movie lovers. Probably Gunday is getting great response in India. But this film has started disaster in Bangladesh. Does the director understand that this project has humiliated the Bangladeshis? Hopefully the mistakes were done unintentionally. Let's have a look at the mistakes done this film.

At the very beginning of your film,they are telling the viewers that it was an India-Pakistan war happened in 1971. I think their script writer was plastered while writing the script. If their information happens to be correct,what were our freedom fighters doing then? India joined the war on 3rd of December 1971. And the war started on 25th of March the same year. India didn't give birth to Bangladesh,rather the bloodshed of our 3 million martyrs did. Director can not but correct the mistake and apologize to us.

2.The story of the film humiliates us on several scenes. they showed that people of Bangladesh were involved in various criminal activities during the liberation war. Two lads of our country become thief and vicious criminal going to your land in their film. It's tremendously humiliating for us (All Bangladeshis).

3.According this story,Bangladeshis consider themselves Indian. How humorous! They can do anything to get Indian citizenship. Extremely humorous!
