1.Meghmallar is a story of a family in the time of Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 when Pakistan Army and administration was trying every way to control and monitor the schools, citizens of all kind , intellectuals through civil servants , Pakistani collaborators ( infamously called Rajakar by Bangladesh Peoples ). The internal issues with thoughts , internal disturbance , situations regarding livelihood , uncertainty and family sensitively depicted audio-visually by distinguished film activist , teacher and film maker Jahirur Rahim Anjan of Bangladesh. Based on the story named "Raincoat" by famous writer Mr. Akhteruzzaman Ilias , who is mostly known for his novels " Chilekothar Shepai" , whose stories depicts detail of any situation or place reflected with cinematic approach in the movie that intentionally depicts the real Bangladesh and its ordinary peoples' situation and issues in 1971 Liberation War.
2.Due to lack of enough good filmmakers and poor condition of film making industry of Bangladesh , we are failed tremendously to inform the world audience about our Liberation war which was that time ( in 1971) , one of the major events happening in the World Politics where Soviet Union , India, USA , China that means the whole polarized world was involved definitely with this event of Bangladesh-Pakistan War that later on turned into another India-Pakistan War also. And that opportunity to depict the history in film is being grabbed by other filmmakers from other countries rather than Bangladesh to depict it in their way and put their thoughts from their point of view and depict it in someway that is not the actual what we Bangladesh people thinks. And in case of filmmakers from Bengal , we mostly put some stereotype liberation war film making like some footage shots, firing with Rifles, showing Pakistan army, some village soilder as Muktijoddha shot with Lungi and Gamcha ( traditional Bengali dress ) with arms, some rape scene and Rajakar with mostly so called Beard and Tupi ( Islamic Cap) that not always true because we had smart looking , western looking Rajakar's also those are much more stronger collaborator that time , which even Bangladesh people yet not believe proper depiction of our liberation war. In that place , few films started telling our real story which focusing more on telling public tales rather than thinking about doing business using liberation war sentiment . That's why the film Meghmallar is an excellent addition to our Liberation War Time films. ( Recently I have seen comparatively better Liberation Wartime film like Bhuban Majhi by Fakhrul Arefeen Khan , Guerilla by Nasiruddin Yusuf Bachchu etc. ) . In case of Cinematography , visually Meghmallar is a new level for our Liberation War Films. WE have lot of stories , no doubt about that but we are lacking our opportunities to convert those good , historical stories into Cinema Screen.
