Chinnamul (alternate spelling Chhinnamul, lit. The Uprooted) was a 1950 Bengali film directed by Nemai Ghosh.[1][2] This was the first Indian film that dealt with the partition of India. The story revolved around a group of farmers from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) who were forced to migrate to Calcutta because of the partition of Bengal in 1947.[3] Russian film director Vsevolod Pudovkin came to Calcutta at that time, watched this film, and being inspired, he bought the print of this film to release in Russia. The film was shown in 188 theaters in Russia.[4]

Plot


The film is based on a story of Swarnakamal Bhattacharya. Depicting the physical pain and crisis, the film is about the partition of Bengal and the flow of refugees from East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) into India's West Bengal. The story of the film begins in a village of East Bengal where people (Hindus and Muslims) live peacefully. Govinda and Sumati are husband wife and they are about to have a child. But, the partition forces Hindu people to leave their ancestral village. So, they become refugee. They don't find any location or shelter in Calcutta and eke out their daily lives in temporary shelters in and around Sealdah railway station. Along with millions of refugees the family has to face untold misery in big city.[5]

  6. Very few people know that Ritwik Ghatak for the first time associated with this film through his acting. Ghatak was praised for acting in three of his own films later – ‘Subarnarekha’ (1962), ‘Titash Ekti Nadir Naam’ (1973) and ‘Jukti Takko aar Gappo’ (1974). Ghatak himself was a victim of partition and along with his family, moved to Berhampore (Murshidabad) and later to Kolkata just before millions of refugees from East Pakistan began to flood into the city. He also was a victim of catastrophic Bengal famine of 1943 before the partition of 1947.

«Обездоленные», или «Беженцы» (бенг. ছিন্নমূল, Chinnamul), — индийский художественный фильм на бенгальском языке режиссёра Нимая Гхоша, вышедший в прокат в 1950 году. Фильм основан на повести Сварнакамала Бхаттачарьи и является одним из первых освещающих тему раздела Индии. Картина провалилась в индийском прокате, но создатели смогли компенсировать свои издержки, когда СССР купил его по рекомендации Пудовкина[1].
