Almost 14 years after its release,
Shyam Benegal's 'Netaji Subhas Chandra
Bose: The Forgotten Hero
' will be screened with Japanese subtitles for the first time in Tokyo on Bose's 123rd birth anniversary on January 23. The makers say that subtitles will make the film more accessible to the Japanese audience.
Atul Tiwari, one of the writers of the film, says, "Tomio Mizokami from Osaka University of Foreign Studies, who was awarded the Padma Shri last year, has completed this project. He approached me last year with the idea to subtitle the film. It took him around one year to complete this project, and now, it will be screened for the first time in Tokyo with Japanese subtitles."
The film will also be screened at the inauguration of the digitised museum on
Subhash Chandra Bose at the Red Fort on January 23. Tiwari says, "Our film will also be permanently running in the gallery of Netaji's museum at the Red Fort."
Shyam Benegal, the director of the film, tells us, "Earlier, the film has been screened several times in Japan, albeit without Japanese subtitles, and it has received a good response each time."
