Mujib: The Making of a Nation review: It barely qualifies as a film

As a film critic, it doesn’t get more disheartening than watching a terrible movie by a pioneering director. Especially if the name alone conveys the iconography of a culture. If not for the credit “A Shyam Benegal Film,” it’d be hard to tell that Mujib: The Making of a Nation were made by anyone at all. Such is the craft of the 178-minute biopic on Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the charismatic Bengali leader widely known as the Founding Father of Bangladesh.
