Lagaan

Movie Review: Lagaan
Cast: Aamir Khan, Gracy Singh, Rachel Shelly, Kulbhushan Kharbanda
 

Lagaan talks about a drought stricken place under the British Empire,who have imposed a double tax to all

the farmers inspite of no rain. The villager's pleas and protest is conveyed to the the sympathysing yet helpless Maharaja(Kulbhushan Kharbanda). A verbal duel commences between the hot headed villager Bhuvan(Aamir Khan) and the British Captain Russel . This leads to a challenge of Cricket match between the vilagers and the Britishers.The condition is, if the villagers win the match, they will be exempted from taxes(Lagaan)for 3 years, and if they lose it they will have to pay triple.Now, the problem is teaching the rural group a match like cricket which is an entirely new game for them.

    
Miss.Elizabeth(Rachel Shelly), comes to their rescue and gets a cleansweep seeing Bhuvan whereas Bhuvan is already in love with Gauri(Gracy Singh. Bhuvan the ever optimist young man has hardly any followers but slowly he makes them to realise their own potential and then forms an team of 11, ready to face the Britishers. This group is a wonderful mix of all religions,cast,color,creed..even a handicap spinner. Bhuvan makes them identify their potential and assures them that as a united group, they will succeed for sure. And they do...........
    

All happens in a span of 3 hour 40 minutes which is a bit too long for audiences who are used to a 3 hourly movie.

Lagaan comprises of a highly sincere set of Indian actors who form the back drop of this village. The village looks quite realistic.Wonderful set of

clothes and settings,the ambience,the rustic language,the sheer energy,effort and honesty of the movie comes out throughout and maintains a continuty in the movie.The British Actors have done their job convincingly.Gracy Singh, as a hindi film actress is simply convincing and natural. Rachel Shelly is very

refreshing and induces a warmth to her role. The choreography and music are just too good. Aamir khan and the director Ashutosh Gowariker have done a brilliant job. A lumpsum of 25crores and a time span of 2years has been spent in producing this megahit.
  
Lagaan can be termed to be excellent from all aspects. A must see for everyone.
