And while Chittagong falls well short of being a great film, it can't help but be an important one. And Pain keeps it honest.

What makes Chittagong particularly special is the way it depicts heroism not as muscle-flexing, chest-thumping, rhetoric-driven bravado (as in standard 'war' films) but simply as audacious acts of defiance by ordinary people in the face of grave risk and

Although authentic in its depiction of the era in which the story is set, impressive in its scale, and consistent in its tone and mood, 'Chittagong' isn't too engaging a film.

Based on true series of events, as is declared at the very beginning of the film, 'Chittagong' is about a bunch of revolutionaries (Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Raj Kumar Yadav, Jaideep Ahlawat, Vega Tamotia) led by Manoj Bajpayee who stays on to be calm in the most adverse of situations and comes with a skill of marshalling his resources in the best possible way.
