Uthenge Hum a film by noted Indian film director Bharat Bala released today

Desk Correspondent, abptakmaa, Kolkata, 6th June 2020 : Since 24th March, India has been under the biggest lockdown anywhere in the world. The past 9 weeks saw streets, silent villages, shuttered shops, factories and schools, offices and malls all shut down in response to an invisible threat. The effects to our lives were massive but have been largely missed by Indians as they were captive inside their homes.

In the times to come when we look back we must as a nation be able to know and understand how their the nation of 1.3 billion came to a complete halt, in the face of an unprecedented pandemic in the modern era. While all Indians stayed in lockdown, filmmaker Bharatbala and a devoted team of 117, comprising of about 15 film crews, set out to capture the unseen visuals of our nationwide lockdown. 

The result is Uthenge Hum (We Will Rise), an important 4-minute film that captures the nation in lockdown.
