Chittagong

This has been on my must watch list for quite sometime. I finally downloaded and watched it.

The movie is set in 1929 in Chittagong (now a part of Bangladesh). It is based on facts. In fact, the protagonist- Jhunku (Delzad Hiwale/Vijay Verma) was alive when the movie was made. It is about the uprising in Chittagong led by a school teacher (Manoj Bajpai) and his band of young rebels (all below 18). They beat the British... not once but twice. Of course, they got caught. Manoj Bajpai is hung while the others are sent to Andamans (kaala paani) jail. On getting released, Jhunku takes up the cause again and in the process loses the love of his life.
