Directed by Akashaditya Lama and produced by Satish Pande, Rishabh Pande, and Akashaditya Lama, "Bengal 1947" released on March 29th.
Explaining his motivation for backing the film, he states, "When director Akashaditya Lama narrated the subject, it resonated with our production company's vision. This film stands out from current trends with its positive approach, which is crucial in today's modern society. As filmmakers, it's our responsibility to address such subjects that impact society."
In his words, here's what makes "Bengal 1947" a must-watch:"This film is an opportunity to celebrate our country's culture and connect with our roots. Our history is a valuable asset, and understanding and learning from it are essential."

Each era has been a learning experience for me, and I'm always fascinated by new filmmaking styles. From the shooting techniques used in 'Hum Log' to the period drama of 'Bengal 1947,' change is the only constant in this industry. However, the core element of connecting with the audience remains unchanged. This is what motivates me to keep striving forward, and 'Bengal 1947' is just the beginning."
