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 [http://www.thedailystar.net/bangladesh-condemns-gunday-12093 condemned] this inappropriate history based movie.

Rating on imdb
The movie currently is the one with the lowest rating on imdb: [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2574698/]
Is this worth mentioning in the article? 91.50.85.24 (talk) 15:00, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
The articles about The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather clearly mentions their IMDb rating. So it's not a bad idea to include imdb rating. Rosswante (talk) 15:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
{{Reply to|Rosswante}} Well I tried to add it a couple of days ago. But it was taken down with some rather unsanitary comments. {{Reply to|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. Hori.horizontal (talk) 10:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
::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. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:06, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
