Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey Movie Review by Movie Critics
Taran Adarsh (BollywoodHungama.com) 4/5
On the whole, KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY, based on the Chittagong rebellion, is an enlightening experience of a poignant, but little-known chapter in history. It’s a film of immense significance which evokes a colossal patriotic fervor. A motion picture like KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY isn’t created targeting the box-office solely. It’s also made for the gratification of the senses. And that it does in sufficient measure.
Nikhat Kazmi (The Times of India) 3.5/5
The high point of Gowariker’s film is the fact that it combines high-octane drama with a high degree of restraint. Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey helps you rediscover forgotten heroes — and a forgotten sentiment — at a time when a scam-tainted nation needs to celebrate the national sentiment the most.
Rajeev Masand (CNN-IBN) 2/5
Alas, despite its important subject, what’s missing in this film is drama, conflict and outrage. It’s precisely why ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’ ends up boring. The director who made audiences leap to their feet and cheer as Bhuvan’s team of villagers won that nail-biting match in ‘Lagaan’, fails to turn the Chittagong Uprising into engaging cinema.
Pankaj Sabnani (Glamsham.com) 2.5/5
KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY has its moments. You feel for Surjya Sen and his team members. Almost the entire second half has poignant moments that keep you hooked.KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY isn’t a bad film but its slack pace refrains it from being a memorable film. Not worth ‘playing jee jaan sey’.

Khalid Mohamed (PassionForCinema.com) 3.5/5
Despite its many rousing moments, Khelein Hum…is not likely to make box office whoopee in this time of badnaam Munnis. Yet the period picture is a valuable addition to the director’s oeuvre (Lagaan, Swades and now the Surjya Sen study are his best in that order).Chak de Gowariker! His Raashi, his heart is back in the right place.. and how.
Anupama Chopra (NDTVMovies.com) 2.5/5
Ashutosh recreates this largely forgotten event with sincerity and sweat but unfortunately Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey comes off a high school history lesson: plodding, stilted and in long stretches, staggeringly boring.
Raja Sen (Rediff) 2.5/5
That appreciation aside, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is a clumsily structured, unevenly paced film, with very few moments to match up to the aforementioned scene.
Aniruddha Guha (DNA India) 3/5
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey moves you, but sporadically
Komal Nahta (KoiMoi.com) 0.5/5
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is an unmitigated disaster.

Extreme patience, not patriotism, can sail you through this wikipedia page
Sukanya Venkatraghavan (Filmfare) 3/5
Gowariker shows his forte yet again in making a picture perfect period film. This is his thing. He does it well. Now if only he could get a leash on the length. If not for his OCD with films that tend to run to a minimum viewing time of three hours, KHJJS would have been a masterpiece.
