Cast, crew, and theme of the film
The star cast includes Aditya Lakhia, Omkar Das Manikpuri, Sohela Kapoor, and Devoleena Bhattacharjee, among others. Diving into the often-overlooked impact of India-Pakistan's 1947 partition on Bengal, Bengal 1947 sheds light on the struggles and experiences of ordinary people during the tumultuous period. Gadar director Anil Sharma praised Lama's historical feature and expressed trust in his expertise, dedication, and years of experience. The project is bankrolled by COMFED Productions.
