Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey...

Ashutosh Gowarikar has tried to recreate the magic of Lagaan in this movie. Even though he has been only partially successful in recreating the success, but its good sign to see him trying to make some sensible movie after ten years. Hopefully, he goes on the make some sensible movies unlike in the near past.

Casting – This is one of the best roles Abhishek Bachchan has done ever in this 10 year stint in the industry. He seems to have done a fair justice to the role of Surya Sen. Ashutosh could have casted else in place of Deepika, who happens to be emotionless though the movie.



As far as the movie goes…

I was shocked to see so many paddy fields in the movie. It is so sad to see, Bengal with so many paddy fields underwent several famines in subsequent years. It has certainly rekindled my interest to study as to why such a series of famine took place in 1940s.

It was so nice to see many young boys flocking together for the struggle. I cannot foresee this kind of flocking of people together for a common cause (selflessly) in any other part of the country other than in Bengal. My regard Bengalis increased many folds after seeing this movie. LONG LIVE THE BENGALI SPRIT…
The most of the movie was quite racy and fast, but not sure if this kind of a subject had to be dealt faster.


Too be continued…
