""Of course, as a young filmmaker, Rafi has his own drawbacks but choosing a story of this scale, and depth must deserve applause. Also, inspiring the younger generation to learn more about Bangladesh’s independence while keeping the film entertaining is a huge plus. Despite receiving massive backlash and threats from different fundamentalist groups in Bangladesh, Raihan Rafi did not change the scene where Razakars slaughtered a doctor for helping the freedom fighters and they kept chanting ‘Nara-e-Takbir Allahu Akbar’ (Shout God is Great) while doing it. We need more filmmakers like Raihan Rafi who are not just visionary, but also bold enough to portray Bangladesh and its history the way it really took place"."
