Shongram Official Trailer (2014) - Bangladesh Independence Movie HD
Shongram is a romantic drama set during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation Struggle.
A daring reporter (Asia Argento) interviews a Bangladeshi Londoner named 'Karim' (Anupam Kher) on his deathbed, who finally shares his account four decades later.
A young Karim and Asha fall in love in the most testing of times. This becomes a complicated relationship, as Karim is a Muslim boy and Asha is a Hindu girl - that is just one aspect which provides a rollercoaster journey for the two protagonists. Karim is soon forced to go underground and join a small band of freedom fighters. He must play his role for the cause before he can finally search for the love of his life.
For the first time an international cast and crew has been working together to make a film about this historic period, which the Bangladeshi people refer to as 'Shongram' (Bengali for struggle).
It stars legendary Hindi cinema star Anupam Kher (Silver Linings Playbook, Bend it Like Beckham, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge), Hollywwod and European star Asia Argento (Triple X - starring Vin Diesel, Marie Antoinette) alongside talented Bangladeshi artists Aman Khan and Dilruba Yasmeen Ruhee. Script editor Billy Mackinnon (Piano, Hideous Kinky - starring Kate Winslet) was also on board this epic journey.
The film starts and finishes in English and the flashback period is in Bangla and Urdu with subtitles.
Film maker Munsur Ali, a British Bangladeshi, is the Producer / Writer / Director of 'Shongram' and has been working on this project for the last three years, which is aimed at an international audience. Ali a film graduate from London, is also the CEO of the Limelight Film Awards -- for which he was presented with a Civic Award.
The film is will be released worldwide in 2014.
