PLOT
The gallows at Chittagong Central Jail, where Surya Sen was hanged; the government of Bangladesh has designated it a monument.
Sixteen young people are playing football in an open field when an army convoy arrives, ordering them to leave the field because they are setting up a base. When the young people object, the soldiers threaten them and then leave in anticipation of a meeting with (Surya Sen).
Surya Sen is a village schoolteacher and an activist for Indian independence. He has connections with other revolutionaries, who see him as their leader: Ganesh Ghosh (Samrat Mukerji), Lokenath Bal, Ambika Chakraborty, Nirmal Sen (Sikander Kher) and Ananta Singh (Maninder Singh). After his release from prison, Nirmal Sen (Sikandar Kher) meets Surya Sen and asks him what to do next. Surya Sen tells him and Nirmal meets Pritilata Waddedar (Vishakha Singh), who expresses the eagerness of her and her friend Kalpana Datta (Deepika Padukone) to join the Indian Republican Army. Pritilata and Kalpana meet Surya Sen, who has demonstrated their skills by asking them to collect information. Disguised as cleaners, they draw sketches of the cantonment.
Surya Sen divides the group into four, and asks them to separate. While he is staying with his sister in Patiya, police commanded by Major Cameron surround him; the major is shot dead by Nirmal Sen. The wounded Nirmal Sen tells Surya Sen to escape, sacrificing his own life.
Eight young rebels, led by Pritilata, later attack the European Club. After killing the officials there, the rebels flee and Pritilata commits suicide by ingesting cyanide. Surya Sen escapes and retreats to another house with Kalpana and the other rebels. The Chittagong superintendent of police (SP) cracks down on the rebels and begins a manhunt for Surya Sen. Although he escapes, other members are arrested, killed, or shoot themselves to death to avoid police torture.
Several months later, during an army football match, the young rebel Haripada assassinates the SP who led the crackdown. Surya Sen is arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by hanging; Surya Sen happily accepts the verdict. Before the sentence is carried out, however, his British executioners break his teeth, limbs, and joints with a hammer. Unconscious, he is dragged to the scaffold and hanged.
