KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SE is not Playful and is infact, Fearless - There is no JAAN in this game! :(
Its History time! Ashutosh's favorite subject. From Lagaan to Swades and Jodha Akbar, his Rashee was good! As he scored A Plus for his Filmology. But, Rashee itself gave a big zero to his marks card with Negative Remarks. So, now, he gets back to his favorite Story - The Pre Independence Era. And this period thriller is of the era that was of our Grandfather's period. Yes, this period film has been set against the 1930's Chittagong Uprising. But sadly, this Uprising is a downfall. And the game that he wants us to see - Fearlessly is again sadly, a game no one would love to see. Its a 'DO OR DIE'' situation. Get back to study the 'novel'. What an idea, sirjee? Yes. Abhishek plays a Bong Sirjee (Teacher) to grown up students and he forms a team with them, colleagues and friends to fight against the British. Saree Clad Padukone is his love interest, who holds up a tennis bat at a scene to play and a gun for riots to play at the BATtle field. There is more love to this playful game, with Sikander Kher and Vishaka Singh forming a pair to play! If Entertainment is what you are looking for, then this is a film with fine performance but to boredom. And this story will actually remain a History in the making! Not for its success, but for its ..... (do I need to say)
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is a clumsily structured, unevenly paced film, with very few moments to match up to the game. This Novel from Manini Chatterjee to Celluloid wasn't a good idea, Ashutosh Sirjee! Unfortunately, the film is not playful and doubtful that it would 'Play' for a long period in multiplexes across! There is no JAAN in this game!
