Explanation
The 2012 film 'Chittagong', directed by Bedabrata Pain, is primarily based on the life of Subodh Roy, popularly known as Jhunku. While the film depicts the broader 1930 Chittagong armoury raid led by Surya Sen (Masterda), it uses the perspective of the young revolutionary Jhunku to narrate the events. Subodh Roy was one of the youngest participants in the uprising, which involved a group of teenagers under the banner of the Indian Republican Army. The film portrays his journey from a hesitant young boy to a committed revolutionary under Surya Sen's guidance. Other notable figures like Ganesh Ghosh, Binod Bihari Chowdhury, and Pritilata Waddedar were also key members of the group that raided the British armouries and disrupted communication lines [2]. However, the narrative focus of Pain's film remains on Jhunku's personal evolution during the uprising.
