Who appreciated the film "Jibon Theke Neya"?

Zahir Raihan actively took part in the Language Movement. He joined the student procession on 21 February 1952 even though the government had banned it. Because of this, he was arrested and sent to prison. He also ensured his presence in the historical meeting of Amtala on the same day.

The film "Jibon Theke Neya" symbolizes East Pakistan under the then autocratic rule and the Language Movement. The family in the film represents the country and the autocratic character represents the oppressive government.

Zahir Raihan's dreams were to see democracy in society, especially one where everyone would have freedom of speech and will. He also had many dreams above the film industry of Bangladesh.

It is tragic because Zahir Raihan's dream of a free and democratic Bangladesh came true, but he died before he could see it. He went out to search for his missing brother after the war and never returned.
