Shongram

'Shongram' (struggle) is a romantic drama set during the 1971 Bangladesh genocide and liberation struggle.
A daring reporter (Asia Argento) interviews a Bangladeshi Londoner 'Karim' (Anupam Kher) on his deathbed in London who finally shares his account four decades later.

We are transported to a scenic Bangladesh of 1971, where 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.  The film starts and finishes in English and the flashback period is in Bangla and Urdu with English subtitles.
