The Story Behind ‘The Diary of West Bengal’
The Diary of West Bengal delves into the pressing issues of illegal infiltration, the Rohingya crisis, and the phenomenon of ‘love jihad’ in the region. Set against the backdrop of escalating tensions between India and Bangladesh, the film portrays the complexities of maintaining good relations amidst ongoing turmoil. With West Bengal grappling with riots, looting, and arson affecting the Hindu community, the film’s release is timely and relevant.

Rizvi has also taken steps to reach out to top political leaders in India, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He has sent applications requesting their support in addressing the significant issues faced by the majority community in West Bengal. Rizvi aims to encourage chief ministers across the country to consider making the film tax-free in their respective states, thereby increasing its accessibility and viewership.
