But owing to misfortune and vicious stereotyping, he gets accused for a horrible crime. “The Suspect” raises the issue of innocent muslim youth getting falsely accused on terror charges. It exposes the unfair and harsh reality of our society which judges and discriminate people on the basis of their religion, caste and ethnicity. It goes on to show how devastating that could be for someone. The issue highlighted in Nitin Chandra’s “Suspect” have ruined lives of many innocent people and there is a need of more sensible and humane way to deal with these problems. “The Suspect” is made in Maithili. This is another stride in Nitin Chandra’s commendable journey of bringing Bihar’s languages in mainstream. This short film helps the cause of removing the stigma that has been attached with Bihar’s languages. Use of Maithili makes this film more engaging and genuine. Chandra’s attempt to induce our languages in India’s popular culture deserves an applause.
