Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se

Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Sikander Kher, Vishakha Singh Dir: Ashutosh Gowariker
wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list (?)
quick review: Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se certainly evokes emotion. Even if it's only towards the end. By climax time if you don't want bad things to happen to the characters, however small their roles were, something has gone right somewhere. Only, I wish it got me involved right from the beginning. On the other hand, the closing credits themselves made the film for me, doubt they would have worked if I had not seen the story that was told before them. So yeah, mixed feelings because of the execution, and because it's a perfect history lesson. A must-know story with dull narration.

Swetha :

Excitement apart, don't you think the posters look uncannily like Lagaan? 11-12 people standing in a line together, as if revolting! The flavour is the same, the title is just creepily lending to this thought of mine. Lagaan could've have been called that.

When I first saw the poster, I was like, "Who's this ape trying to make a Lagaan?" and then I saw the director's name. Gulp. Maybe it's just me. But for my sake I hope there's a different in the treatment.

@swetha actually, it looks like any movie that is about reprisal. No? All I'm looking forward to is a non-romcom, non-nonsense-comedy, non-wannabe-action, non-hollywood-inspired, non-Bombay-underbelly film. :D

Samir:

In Indian period films the dhoti and kurtas will invariably have an unworn look. The dialect of the protagonist will be very contemporary and may have no relation to the geographical area being covered. This takes away immensely from the verisimilitude of the period.
I saw nothing different in the promos of this film. Can anyone name a few Hindi films which have taken care of this aspect?

Arcopol:

While I appreciate Gowariker's honesty towards the subject - he, Rajkumar Santoshi, Shyam Benegal are the select few who do justice to periodicals - KHJJS is his most thanda film, so far. The promos don't look interesting, they're devoid of great lines, and full of shouts of Vande Mataram, the cliche of every periodical made in India. But can't help, since he's being honest with history. Had this film been made in 1960, it would have been a blockbuster, but doubt if it works today. We need a revolutionary way of storytelling, something which Rakesh Mehra did in Rang De Basanti.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey Movie Review

http://www.bollywoodchaska.com/content/khelein_hum_jee_jaan_sey-2056/

This is a paragraph from our history books that filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker elects to expand into a full-fledged three-hour-long feature! His intention is very noble but sadly his execution of the narrative is not.

Bollyfan:

Shweta : The resemblance with Lagaan goes far beyond the poster. This was the story of the Chittagong Uprising forcefitted into the Lagaan mould.

Minesh : I wouldn't even credit Ashutosh with honesty of intention here. He's quite an experienced filmmaker and if his intentions were honest, he should have known that retrofitting a true story into the mould of a fictional one just because the struggle for independence was a common theme between both was not the right thing to do.

Any emotion that the film evokes is purely on the strength of the story itself and to some extent, the production values. But its a complete fail for Gowariker as a scriptwriter and a director.

Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se is Great...We love this movie...It reminds us the forgotten history of our Freedom Fighters...Abhishek Bachchan as Masterda Surya Sen is great...

meetu:

@bollyfan regarding your reply to Swetha - what?! forcefitted in to Lagaan? How? Just because they interviewed to set up a team?

Yep! ALL emotion that the film evolved might have been based on the story ONLY. But what worked, worked. And you gotta give credit for that.
