the
haunting
tale
of
the
Calcutta
Killing
and
the
Noakhali
massacres
which
later
had
a
long-term
brutal
political
consequences.
The
story
sheds
light

the
fact
how
Bengali
Hindus
faced
the
atrocities
on

which
left
a
daunting
mark
even
after
almost
eight
decades.

Talking
about
this,
the
director,
Vijay
Yelakanti
shared,

“Although
it
is
directly
related
to
one
of
the
most
significant
chapters
of
our
modern
Indian
history,
Direct
Action
Day
continues
to
be
an
untold
story
of
human
suffering.”
