Controversy
The film deals with the historical events and information regarding independence of
Bangladesh. In the beginning of the movie, there is a title encrypted that, "At 16th December 1971, West Pakistan army surrendered under East Pakistan freedom fighter and it was one of the biggest surrender after Second World War. This creates a new nation named Bangladesh."
This line has some inappropriate information. At 16th December 1971, Pakistan army surrendered under Bangladesh & India coalition forces. Pakistan surrendered for
Bangladesh Liberation War and
Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 at same time. The war pitted Bangladeshi freedom fighters against West Pakistan, and lasted over a duration of nine months. India entered the war on 3 December 1971, when victory was almost assured(16th December 1971 Bangladesh got independence).
The mass of Bangladesh
condemned this inappropriate history based movie.
The movie currently is the one with the lowest rating on imdb:
[2]
Is this worth mentioning in the article?

Rosswante: Well I tried to add it a couple of days ago. But it was taken down with some rather unsanitary comments. @
Prashant!: I do believe it is important to note this fact on this encyclopedia article, espcially when it is a comment about the movie's reception. I understand there is cultural and historical conflict over this film; but it is important to note.

IMDb in itself is
not a reliable source. We don't bother adding any info that is sourced from IMDb. Likewise we shouldn't even bother writing the ratings the film receives over there. The Shawshank Redemption's top rating on IMDb is mentioned in our article as its talked about in a secondary source. If such source is present in this case then add it. §§

The soundtrack was produced by Sohail Sen and Irshad Kamil, the latter writing the lyrics." This can be re-written as The soundtrack was produced by Sohail Sen and the lyrics were penned by Irshad Kamil.
The film received two nominations at the 60th Filmfare Awards: Best Choreography for the song "Tune Maari Entriyaan", and Best Action (winning the latter). Rewrite this sentence as The film won the Best Action Award at the 60th Filmfare Awards and was nominated for Best Choreography for the song "Tune Maari Entriyaan".
