The Hindu Minorities in erstwhile East Pakistan faced inhuman atrocities and still facing discriminations. It is important to bring out and learn the history. Cinema is a good medium to explore such forgotten topics and bring out to the people. I congratulate the Makers and those who performed in this movie and extend my best wishes for successful run all across the country and the world & appeal everyone to watch it."
