Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey (खेलें हम जी जान से)

The British had been ruling us for over 150 years.

Years of slavery had given birth in each of our hearts, the desire for a free India.

Whether by the shield of non-violence or by the spear of violence...

... achieving freedom became our only goal.

It was under these circumstances that a big revolution was born.

In a small town, in the eastern province of undivided Bengal- Chittagong.

Our Chittagong! This happened in... 1930.

It's a military plane.

Come on! Let's continue!

Ananda... this way!

Himangshu... pass it there!

Rajat... straight ahead!

Jhunku... yes. Over here!

Deba...

- Naresh... very good! - I am here Fakir.

Dodge him... Tegra.

It touched Himangshu's hand!

- What do they want? - Halt!

What has happened?

This is a good ground. Set the camp here. Tell all the locals to evacuate.

- You cannot play here. - Why?

Because we told you so. Go home and play!

It's not a game of marbles, it's football. A playground is a must!

- What did you say? - What is the matter, Sir?

We are setting up a camp here.

A camp? Alright we’ll play over there.

No, not there either. This ground is off limits.

But this ground belongs to us, we have always been playing here!

One thwack on your backside and you'll forget all about your ground.

Now get out of here!

Bring out all the equipment this way.

- Should I go talk to them one last time? - No, we will have to leave.

But why? Why go elsewhere? This is my ground and I will play right here!

So what are you going to do? Fight them?

Yes.

Come to your senses Jhunku, we can't fight them.

Troops, spread out!

The ground opposite Kali Mata temple, why not play there?

That one's taken over too.

But why should we go anywhere else? We should play here.

- Come with me! - If we make too much of a protest...

... they'll mistake us for freedom fighters and take us in.

So I am a freedom fighter. Let's fight them!

Looks like he is possessed by the spirit from the Neem tree!

I got an idea! Why not approach a freedom fighter?

- A freedom fighter? - You mean, a real freedom fighter?

- Stop it, this is all idle talk. - No, he is right...

There is one... what's his name... He has even been to jail once!

He is also a teacher in some school.

- Surjyada? Surjya Sen... ? - Yes. Maybe.

Whoever he is, as long as he gets our ground back.

Yes!

Use your brains. They are fighting for the freedom of the country.

How will they have time for this anthill of a ground?

Why? Our ground isn't in London. It also is a part of this country!

- When will this guy grow up? - No, he is right. Do you know him?

I don't, but my elder brother does.

- So... ask your brother. - No way.

If I ask him, he will slap my cheeks red.

You can't even take a few slaps for our ground?

You kids still here? Get out of here! Move on!

if not I will puncture your football.

What will be the solution if we replace x with x2 in this equation?

Haripada, tell us!

Masterda, x2 or x3, we shall have to mug it up either way.

It's too difficult!

Applying the correct method solves even the most difficult problems.

Let's talk about something else.

How many of you have close friends?

Haripada, who is your best friend?

Masterda, Bidhu!

Bidhu, what can you do for Bidhu?

I can do anything, Masterda!

Would you give your life for him?

It is difficult. But it is possible.

In fact, it has happened!

Has anyone heard of ''Khudiram Bose''?

Bidhu?

Khudiram Bose has been one of the youngest revolutionaries of our country.

Very good! Sit down.

From a very young age, he felt the burning desire for the country's freedom.

He threw a bomb at the carriage of an English officer.

For which he was arrested.

And at the young age of 18, he was hung.

Do you know for whom he did this?

For you...

... for all of us, for his countrymen!

- Who is that, Masterda? - Nirmal Sen.

Is he a close friend of yours?

Would you give your life for him?

Anytime.

Nirmal!

How are you?

I got released two days ago and took the first train out and here I am.

You must have faced hardships in prison?

They would beat me with leather sticks laced with brine.

They hit me till they got tired...

... all that escaped my lips was 'Vande Mataram'.

We are all very proud of you.

- What about Anant, Ambika, Lokenath? - All are here.

- We are meeting on Wednesday at 5pm. - Then tell me, when and where do we start!

Very soon.

Alright, shall I take your leave?

- Where are you going? - To meet Pritilata.

Listen!

At least make yourself presentable!

Pritilata...

Your eyes are downcast pray why?

There's sure someone in your heart, don't hide it. O companion!

Why must I be the first one to say it, O companion, let's have it from you.

who inhabits is in your dream stealthily?

Come on, I'm not the one for your feigning acts.

You've started hiding it from me what is in your heart.

How did you come to know this?

It's your own eyes which betrayed it all to me.

He will be here soon! Concentrate...

... or else you will lose.

He'll come. O yes, he'll come.

Strains of 'Shehnayi' will sound in the courtyard.

He's come.

He'll have me, O he'll have me He whose love I’ve found.

I've come to know who your lover is Now I have recognised your beloved,

O companion don't breath a word of this to anyone.

There he is!

Even if my own kith asks you, be quiet!

He's here!

He's here! Look behind.

There he is!

Pritilata!

Nirmal! How are you?

I'm fine. What about you?

She'll be better now. She's been waiting for you since 2 hours.

Your train was supposed to reach much earlier.

Yes... well, I went to meet Surjya.

What is it?

- You tell him. - No, you tell him.

What's the matter?

Kalpana and I want to meet Surjyada.

- Why is that? - We have decided to join your group.

Is that so? But our organization has no work for women...

I can't convince him, maybe you can!

Come on Kuhu, let's play!

Both of us in the revolution?

Kuhu, concentrate.

Kalpana!

Surjyada's house should be around here.

- Let's go right. - No... we should go straight.

What's going on here? Clear the road! Move!

Do you think that was Surjyada?

Let's find out.

- Surjyada! - Anant!

- How are you? - Fine.

- How have you been? - You tell me.

I am restless from inaction.

Ambikada, hope life is good!

Great. What about you Anant Singh?

I'm fine too.

All else can wait. First, I have to apologize for a mistake.

What mistake?

I'd just been to my village in Punjab. To sell some ancestral property.

I had some money left over and I...

... with that money I bought an English Car for myself.

Well you are forgiven.

Because we shall use your British car against the British!

I feel better now!

Ambikada, looks like you have started planning already?

Planning and finances are essential for every revolution.

How much have you collected?

11 rupees, my salary, which I have deposited here.

Are you Surjyada?

Who are you all?

Jhunku. And these are my friends.

What do you want?

Do you know of Thekedari Para?

- We live there and we have this ground there. - I mean, it's not ours, but it is ours!

We play football there every day. Now the British soldiers have taken it away from us!

Football? Ground?

Why don't you get it back for us? If you are busy today, then do it tomorrow.

Get out of here! Let me not see you here again.

But listen!

Who was it?

Some kids. They were going on about some football ground.

- Anant! - Nirmal!

You guys are still here? I told you to leave!

We aren't going anywhere until we meet Surjyada!

- I said... - Wait...

I am Surjya Sen.

Tell me, what happened?

- Surjyada we... - Surjyada we were...

Quiet! Calm down, one at a time.

You go ahead.

Surjyada, we live in Thekedari Para and we have a ground over there...

... which the British soldiers have taken. Now what are we supposed to do?

We heard that you are fighting them for our freedom.

So free the country and give us back our playground.

It really is ours, I swear!

What kind of people park trucks and put up tents in a football ground?

Complete nonsense.

We hate the English too! Get them out of the ground!

I don't hate the English.
