Children of War Trailers

Children of War is a movie based on the true events of the 1971 Genocide. Can we, in search of power, become animals? A genocide; neglected! The first use of rape as a weapon of war; undocumented! The lives of millions; unaccounted! The culprits; unpunished!

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
marikalari I have seen CHILDREN OF WAR and stayed captivated, focused on it. it took me days to get rid of the atmosphere of the film. I am shamed I didn't know anything about the History of the birth of Bangladesh, about these 400 000 ladies raped for months. It is very violent, but not really ON the screen, everything is suggested, i was touched deeply about the story of these ladies i couldn't sleep for days. I think the world should learn about this. In 1971, the U.S was in the Hippies movement, dancing, taking drugs, enjoying life while such horrible things where happening! The director was able to mix delicateness & violence, hope & desperation, cruelty & love. It is a master piece movie, a kind of film that gives all its nobles to what we call CINEMA as an ART: transcending, informing, transporting to Human deep philosophical questions. Thanks to all this great team to have been able to achieve such a great film! (sorry my English is not so good as i am a french citizen)
sheetalvyas1 Any interpretation or depiction of any war or acts of terror is extremely hard and tough for director to showcase in cinematic form. Question always is how little its too much and Mrityunjay Devvrat's  has done an excellent job of that in his debut movie.Children of war is graphical beautiful depiction of the almost forgotten 1971 genocide happened in East Pakistan. The scenes to tend to get uncomfortably gory and long and I would think that the movie overall would have benefited from a shorter script. It's a long depressing watching genocides for more than two hours. Sadly, enough the 1971 genocides have been forgotten and most of the younger generation are clueless about the sufferings. The movie could have benefited if they had put some context for today's generation.The actors are par excellent and all have done an excellent job. I especially was fascinated by Pawan Malhotras evil, cruel, ruthless Pakistani General. Pawan finally got an opportunity to show his true talent.Director has done an amazing job for first time holding the baton and I really look forward to seeing more movies from him. Music score was OK but little too loud and took away from the moments at times.The movie would have done lot better if it was shorter and crisper.
Jatin Bhatia now this movie is a perfect example of a historical movie.the depictions in the movie are really soul wrenching and it achieves its goal of coming a full circle by threading together all the characters and events introduced along the time line which seem almost unrelated till the end of the movie.Loved the spectrum of human love depicted the love of a patriot for his country,of a husband for his wife,of a brother for his sister which are contrasted by hate loathe and oppression .there are many who don't agree as it can be seen by the ratings but the flak received by this movie for its gore and patriarchal approach don't seem valid to me as that was the truth of that era. in the end it is a must watch movie
ladbina gomes Hats f to this film and the maker Mr.Mrityunjay Devrat and all of the members who made this film awesome. I did not thought i'll love this film. I am Bangladeshi and a dreamer. Whenever I read and think about Bangladesh freedom fight 1971 and all the peoples who gave life and the children's and woman's who were raped, killed and tortured by those Pakistani monsters, pictured the whole situation in mind only and always hope if any one can make a perfect movie on this 1971 Genocide attack, the whole bloody 9 months. One morning just opened a TV for watching typical boring serials. Suddenly I saw, a film named "Children of war"!! Felt not that much excited, because I thought this film will not reach my hope like other freedom fighting films. But,, I have no idea about when I continued watching it my eyes wear full of tears. It felt like, I was there too, watching my sister and mother getting raped by those Hayena monsters. " Children Of Wars"... you make me fell that pain again which I should remember everyday. Thank you so much to all of you.
