The Dhaka University Film Society (DUFS) screened the Liberation War-based film Hangor Nodi Grenade on Wednesday evening, calling on the people of Bangladesh to stand united against all conspiracies aimed at distorting the history and spirit of the Liberation War.
The screening took place at around 7pm at the Payra Chhatar near the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University.
In a press release issued by DUFS Public Relations Secretary Abrar Nadim Mumshad, it was said that the screening aimed to uphold the memories and aspirations of Bangladesh’s great liberation struggle.
The 1997 film, directed by Chashi Nazrul Islam and based on the novel by Selina Hossain, remains a poignant portrayal of the war.
The statement further noted that the event was organised to inspire viewers to remain active in resisting all malicious efforts to undermine or defile the legacy of Bangladesh’s mass movements and the Liberation War.
