Director Debamitra’s debut vehicle Motichoor Chaknachoor has released at the theatres, well the numbers are dismal and the film is even worse. The critics and audiences alike have paned the film! There was a lot of hullabaloo before the release of the film when the director and the producer of the film were at loggerheads!
The director Debamitra Biswal and the producer of the film were at loggerheads and they made sure to play the mudslinging game with each other. And now when the film was released, director Debamitra is flabbergasted, she is absolutely shell-shocked at the end result. So much so that now she is begging people not to see the film because the final product is not what she made. According to her, the producers did whatever they felt like with the film.

In an interview with Spotboye, Biswal spoke at length about how her work had been shunned and other visuals were stitched together to complete the film on time. Debamitra said she had seen the film because the court had ruled that the producers had to show the film to the director, she has been quoted as saying, “I was shown the film when the court had issued an order to Rajesh Bhatia (producer) stating that you will have to show the film to the director. And after seeing the movie, I thought to myself: OMG! What have they made?”
Debamitra revealed that they edited out the portions that were directed by her. She has been quoted as saying,” I had directed the film no doubt, but they chucked out portions and introduced unnecessary shots. There is nothing left in the film. It looks like a C-grade Bhojpuri film.”
She further said that the producer of the film did whatever he did to the film after the fight had taken place and that because of him, her career has been ruined! She has been further quoted in the report as saying, “After the fight, they decided to edit the film and Bhatia himself set about to do it. Also, the story was changed totally. This isn’t the story that I set out to make. They have ruined my film and my career completely.”
She went on to reveal that when Viacom 18 saw her version of the film they loved it. “About 10-15 days before, a senior official from Viacom18 told me to show them my version. They loved it so much that they couldn’t stop praising it. I asked if they could come up with a solution. But, they did not. It was pre-decided to release the film on Nov 15 I guess, so they went ahead with Bhatia’s version. My film, I would say, stands ruined”, mourned Debamitra.
Debamitra also said that she has been urging people on Facebook to not watch the film, even though she has been credited as the director of the film because she firmly believes it is not her film. She has been further quoted as saying, “Yes they have and I called them up after watching the film asking them to take off my name because this is not what I had made. It’s such a horrible film. I have, in fact, written on Facebook asking people to not watch this film.”
She further revealed, Athioya Shetty was appalled to watch the film and she started to weep inconsolably. Debamitra has been quoted as saying, “She has seen the film and was horrified to see the end result. She said it’s such a bad film, it can’t release. She is feeling dejected that after so much of hard work, this happened. The day she saw this film, she started crying. She further disclosed that Suniel Shetty and his wife Mana too are absolutely rattled after watching the film!
In the same report, Debamitra finally said that she has no plans to watch the film at all in theatres. She has been quoted as saying, “Definitely not! Even the songs that I saw made me uncomfortable; there is no story. Everything is out of place. I feel sad that sabki mehnat kharab hui.”
