'Destroyed' and Survived: Ozu's Film on INA and Subhash Chandra Bose

2019, Aananda Bazar Patria

In this article we are talking about a film on INA and Subhash Chandra Bose that was commissioned by Japan during the World War 2 and the project was being handled by none other than Yasizuro Ozu. Ozu was directing the film. But he had to stop midway as the War was nearing the end. According to him, he had destroyed the footage too. However the archival records of #Singapore present a different story. It shows that the unfinished film actually came back to India and so far as the Indian records go, the film was completed and released here in 1948. Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel had played key roles in the process.
