Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey (English: We Play with our Lives) is a 2010 Indian epic action-adventure film directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Sikander Kher in the lead roles. It is based on the book Do And Die by Manini Chatterjee, based on the Chittagong Uprising against British rule in 1930. Set in Chittagong (now in Bangladesh), the film was shot mostly in Goa along with portions in Mumbai. The first promo of the film was unveiled on 12 October 2010, on the film's official Facebook page. The film was released on 3 December 2010. The film depicts the journey of the Chittagong Uprising, from the rise to its aftermath.
The film opens up with 16 teenagers playing football in an open field, when the army convoy steps up and orders them to evacuate the field for setting up a base there. When the children oppose their unauthorized evacuation, the soldiers threaten them and then leave, grinning and planning to meet Masterda Surya Sen.
Surya Sen is a village school teacher and an activist for Indian freedom and has links with many other famous revolutionaries who adore him as their leader. The revolutionaries were Ganesh Ghosh (played by Samrat Mukerji), Lokenath Bal, Ambika Chakraborty, Nirmal Sen and Ananta Singh (played by Maninder Singh). Nirmal Sen (played by Sikander Kher) after being released from jail meets Masterda and asks him for next action. Masterda assures him of next action soon and Nirmal goes on to meet Pritilata Waddedar (played by Vishakha Singh), when she expresses her eagerness to join the Indian Republican Army along with his friend Kalpana Datta (played by Deepika Padukone). Together they meet Masterda who asks them to prove their skills by assigning them the task of collecting information about the Cantonment. Dressed as sweeping girls they both draw successful sketches of the Cantonment.
