DEVVRAT, the director of The Bastard Child, is unhappy as he had to
change the film’s title to Children of War. “The censor board didn’t
approve of the title. But no scene had to be cut. I went by their
decision, as I want to complete all formalities and release the film as
soon as possible. It will release as ‘Children of War’, with a tagline
‘Nine months to freedom’, in India and Bangladesh, but the original
title will stay intact abroad”, he said.
The
film is based on the Bangladesh genocide where thousands of women were
raped and the resulting illegitimate children during the war for the
liberation of Bangladesh. The film depicts the 9 months of
inhuman attacks of the Pakistani army during the Genocide that took
place in East Pakistan in 1971 and the struggle of the Bangladeshis to
attain independence from these atrocities.
Directed
by Mrityunjay Devvrat and Produced by Soumya Devvrat, the film has
notable stars like Raima Sen, Indraneil Sengupta, Farooq Sheikh,
Tillotama Shome and Victor Banerjee, among others.
