"Our goal is to expose the uncomfortable truths" says Jitendra Narayan Singh (Waseem Rizvi) producer of the film “The Diary of West Bengal”

Produced by Jitendra Narayan Singh (Waseem Rizvi) and directed by Sanoj Mishra, the soon-to-be-released film “The Diary of West Bengal” has ignited a fiery debate across India with its bold and unapologetic portrayal of the Rohingya refugee crisis and illegal infiltrations from Bangladesh. Starring Arshin Mehta and Yajur Marwah in lead roles, alongside Ramendra Chakarwarti, Gauri Shankar, Avadh Ashwini, and Ashish Kumar, the film dives deep into the heart of West Bengal, exploring themes that many have considered taboo or politically charged.

With its trailer launch receiving praises, the film paints a vivid picture of a region struggling with its identity, caught between the traditions of its past and the modern-day challenges that threaten its social fabric. The film does not shy away from controversial topics such as Love Jihad and the stark realities faced by communities living on the fringes.

Producer Jitendra Narayan Singh (Waseem Rizvi) comments, “We are not here to pander to the masses. Our goal is to expose the uncomfortable truths.  'The Diary of West Bengal' is a wake-up call for the nation to address these issues head-on"

Director Sanoj Mishra adds “This film is more than just a narrative; it’s a mirror reflecting the societal changes and pressures that West Bengal endures. We’ve taken a bold step to portray the harsh realities, and we stand by our depiction, as art should challenge and provoke"
