Love for the Country

A war-based telefilm on BTV

By Shahana Parbeen
BTV will air a new telefilm, Shey Diner Bhalobasha. on of July 29. This two-hour (two hour and ten minutes to be precise) telefilm is the first such production by Utsav Telefilms. And this is yet another story of our glorious war of liberation. its happiness, its sadness. The film depicts how the war affected the lives of some people. The people in the film are: Shahed. Jhorna. Ferdous. Abed and Mohon,
Shey Diner Bhalobasha does not deal with conventional love as the name suggests. Rather, it deals with people's love for their country and what it leads them to do. It also deals with a sensitive issue: of the love of 'two fathers' for a son. The film starts at the present atmosphere and then takes the viewers to the past and then again the audience are brought to the present. It dwells on the past for some time while the viewers get to comprehend the incidents that took place then. They also get to understand the complex situation of the present. But one thing that the viewers can't help notlc
Ing is the age of the actors in the flash back. The scene is of 29 years ago. but the actors and actresses look as old as they look in the present time! Too many close shots should have been avoided. Donned In red sarees and doing hair In red ribbons do not make a person look any younger when the camera lingers on a person for too long, let alone when there are close shots.
The plot Is predictable. When the premier show was shown at the Sulla Kamal auditorium of the National Museum, one could hear a few. sitting nearby, murmuring what to expect next. For example, when Mohon dedicates his book to his late father, someone in the audience laughed and told his neighbour. "Oh. I know. Shahed is the real father!".
Nevertheless, the film shows some of the Incidents which were so very true at that time, especially the way the Razakars oppressed and sabotaged the people and tried to suppress the indomitable spirit of freedom.
The film opens with Shahed returning to Bangladesh from America after 26 years. He was a freedom fighter and was sent to Czechoslovakia and then on to
the US to get an injury in his head treated which he suffered in the war. A brief bout of insomnia and a total failure to locate his wife. Jhorna, whom he left behind. Now In his old age, he decides to come back and breathe his last In his country. His wife, meanwhile, has a son and after falling to locate Shahed. concludes that he was dead. She then goes on to marry Abed, Abed loves the boy. Mohon. like his own. Mohon Is a novelist. In the launching ceremony of his war-based novel. Shahed meets Jhorna. Then, there begins the war between the two fathers - the biological father and the father who brought the child up with love and care. Finally. Shahed realises that his presence in Bangladesh would create a lot of unhappiness and a barricade between Abed and Mohan. With sadness in heart, he flies back to America.
