'Children of War' goes strong in Bangladesh despite criticism

He did not like the elated expression 'Rafik', a child freedom fighter, wore when he saw the Indian flag at Charhati, as he reached there with his sister 'Gaosor' after surviving a terrifying trail of death.

"I'll praise the movie for its style and technique. But it does not reflect real Bangladesh. I didn't like the story. The movie 'Guerilla' is much better. There is more to Liberation War than rapes," said Miraj.

His wife Nazia Islam Jisha also was far from impressed with the movie for its geographical inaccuracies.

"It's said the Pakistani camp in the movie is in Dhaka but there are high hills in the background," she said.

However, Senjuti Shonima Nadi, who reviewed the film for bdnews24.com, said: "I'll forgive all errors just for the song 'Roktoito...' It's so powerful and the accompanying montage of the genocide's historic photographs was recreated with such care it touched me very deeply."
