The first public screening of Bedabrata Pain’s debut Hindi film <em>Chittagong</em> in Bangladesh has been cancelled by the organisers of the Hay Festival, according to the film's director. This Manoj Bajpai and Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer was scheduled to be held today in Dhaka during the ongoing film festival that ends this Saturday. "They gave me no reason for the sudden cancellation. It was to be the closing night film. Then at the 11th hour they shifted it to the 16th and finally cancelled it finally," Pain said in a statement.

There seems to be no end to the troubles facing Bedabrata Pain’s historical Chittagong. Three years in the making, the director lost his son while the film was being made. And now the news from Kolkata is that the city’s intellectual class is up in arms against the film’s director for allegedly having borrowed chunks from author Manini Chatterjee’s novel Do And Die, a historical account of the Chittagong uprising in 1930, without acknowledging the source material. Interestingly, Ashutosh Gowariker’s <em>Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se</em> was an official adaptation of Manini Chatterjee’s book.
