Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey has made it to the Oscar library as part of the permanent core collection that is made for film- makers, writers, actors and students worldwide for their research work.

The library of the Academy of Motion Picture and Science has asked for the screenplay of the film for their permanent core collection which is made for film makers, writers, actors and students worldwide for their research work, the producers said in a statement.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan feels his latest release Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se, based on the Chittagong uprising of 1930, has made him more aware about India's unsung heroes.

Ashutosh Gowariker may have hit the headlines with films like Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar, but there is one film of his which looms large in terms of cinematic excellence.

Ashutosh Gowariker is at his best when he's telling a story he's dying to tell. History is proof that when he handles films with a patriotic flavour (Lagaan and Swades, previously), he's in full form. This time he picks a relatively unknown freedom fighter as his protagonist and that's why Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is an important film.

There is something about Ashutosh Gowariker’s latest offering that will haunt you once the lights are come on. Something that will pierce your heart and stay in your memory. And this is interesting because Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is a bumpy ride as far as the narrative goes.
