New Delhi: The missing ladies acclaimed by reviewers are in the headlines after social media users showed similarities between the film of the film and the Arabic language of 2019. The small clips of both films are revolving online, fueling allegations of literary theft and speculation that Kiran Rao’s direction may be a remake.
Amidst the controversy, author Bipalab Goswami has broken his silence. He released a statement on social media, clarifying that the missing Ladies were registered with the screenwriter association in 2014 – well before the release of Burka City.
Biplab took on Instagram and shared a statement with relevant documents to support his claim.
Take a look at the post:
The statement wrote, “The script for missing women was developed on a large scale in many years,”
The note further revealed the information about the registration of the film, ‘I first registered the detailed Sinopsis of the film, which outlines the entire story on July 3, 2014 with the title’ Two Brides’, the title ‘Two Brides’, who works with the screenwriting writer association. Even within this registered synopsis, there is a scene that clearly describes the groom as well as their mistake with their mistake. This is where the story stops. I wrote about the scene of a clearly worried groom’s visit to the police station and the police officer was showing the only picture of his missing bride, but the bride’s face was covered with a veil, resulting in a comic moment.
The statement in the statement made the Missing Ladies ‘original script title and its official registration details,’ On 30 June 2018, I registered the feature-length script ‘to Bride’ with SWA. The script won the runner-up award in the Cineston Storytalers competition in 2018. Again, in this script, I had a scene of the policeman surprised by the photo of The Brid. ,
While addressing the ongoing controversy and claiming the originality of the script, Biplab Goswami’s statement wrote, ‘Story, dialogues, characters and scenes – all research and honest reflections have been stems. I was deeply invested in understanding gender discrimination and inequality in both Indian and global contexts, dynamics of rural power and the nuances of male outpostism. Our story, characters and dialogues are 100% original. Any allegation of literary theft is completely untrue. These allegations not only weaken my efforts as a writer, but also make tireless efforts of the entire film production team. Thank you.’
Buced by Aamir Khan, the missing ladies were India’s official selection for the Oscar this year, directed by Payal Kapadia, all of us were selected on the film of Malayalam-language acclaimed as light as light. However, missing women did not make it in the final shortlist.
