Spoilers ahead
Set against the 1930s British colonial rule in East Bengal (now Bangladesh), the film Chittagong recounts a largely overlooked chapter of India’s freedom struggle. At its heart is a coming-of-age tale braided with political courage, told through the eyes of a young boy who grows into a reluctant revolutionary.
Centered on a diffident 14-year-old boy, Delzad Hiwale as Jhunku, the story follows his initial brush with a daring plan that would test his loyalties and reshape his view of justice, duty, and fate. Years later, Jhunku, now a 23-year-old, Vijay Varma as Older Jhunku Roy, finds himself on the run from the Bengal police. He hides in a bunker with his childhood friend Aparna, Sauraseni Maitra portraying her, as a whirlwind of memories and choices swirls around him.
