A Cinephile's review of "Mujib: The Making of a Nation" (No spilers) Mujib's life story has all the elements that can make his biopic a cult classic. But sadly, the makers failed to get the best out of it. Idk why people are praising Arifin Shuvo's performance, where he just overreacted and exaggerated on tensed scenes. That felt like more of a SPOOF of Bangabandhu's real-life persona. I think the makers were confused about which audience they were making the film for (I assume all ages). But that backfired on them. They made just another forgettable film that will fade from people’s memories over time. I have seen Shyam Benegal's previous works, and they were fantastic, but this time he disappointed us. My suggestion and hope is that Mujib's biopic should be made with pure intention and responsibility, with a great screenplay, cinematography, a perfect cast, and proper research.
