What's it about?
In 1930, 64 revolutionaries, led by a school teacher Surjya Sen, carried out simultaneous attacks on five strongholds of the British Raj in Chittagong. This raid started a revolution in undivided Bengal. The film follows the revolutionaries from the time they begin planning the attack to the tragic conclusion. KHJJS is based on the book Do And Die: The Chittagong Uprising 1930-34 by Manini Chatterjee.
