This movie is friggin' awesome. If you've ever got 4 hours to kill (a rainy Saturday afternoon for me), you should rent this movie. I'm serious - it kicks ass.

Lagaan along with Devdas are two masterpieces that have been made by Bollywood.

This is the first Bollywood movie we ever saw (we've seen several since) and we watched it because it was nominated for an Oscar, the first Bollywood movie to do so, I believe. I never ever would have thought a singing, dancing, subtitled movie about cricket could be so wonderful and fascinating! We loved it!

It's been years since I've seen it, but if I remember correctly, the village's taxes are being raised by the occupying English, and this guy makes a bet with one of the snooty English mucky mucks that if the Indians win a cricket match, the taxes will be lowered (or lifted altogether, something like that). Of course, the English rule at cricket, and none of these guys know the game at all. Cricket has very bizarre rules (we stopped the movie in the middle to go look up cricket web sites to try to clarify some of the rules that got lost in the subtitle translations), but they do get some help from a kindly Englishwoman who explains the game to them.

What he's doing here is trying to inspire the other men/reluctant players who are angry at him for making the bet, because of course they know they don't stand a chance. If I remember correctly. Man, I have to see this movie again!

This should really be added to the politics channel as well since it is all about opposing English imerialism!
