Free as a bird. To wander. To nestle. To take flight. We are not. As India gained its much awaited independence in 1947, a race faced another struggle. Bengal was divided and hundreds of thousands of Bengalis were displaced and divided on the basis of their religion. The Hindus were forced out as East Bengal was made a part of Pakistan and the same fate lay in store for the Muslims of West Bengal. Millions became refugees in their own homeland, and thousands still bear the cross and the scar. The film is a human saga of a truncated land and how people are trying to relive their destiny.

Meher Negar is an adaptation of the original work of Kazi Nazrul Islam under the same name. It’s a story about a novice singer Yusuf, who goes to a renowned master to learn more about music. In his dreams, he sees a beautiful girl named Meher Negar. While staying in his master’s house, one day while playing his flute, he encounters Meher Negar in real life, who was enchanted by his music. Both soon fall in love with each other. Reality however was harsh, as Meher is not an ordinary girl. Rather, she is the daughter of a popular Baijee Khurshid Jan. Her mother has been nurturing her so far only so she can one day be a proud Baijee just like her mother, an idea that Meher profoundly loathes. Torn between yearning for the love of the man she truly loves, to be with Yusuf forever, or upholding her mother’s wish, who raised her without any father — Meher has the chance to choose only one option. What will she do?
