Lagaan

Hello Reader,

•  The movie also paid a strong message about Equality of castes,  an issue that continues to plague Indian. It is great to watch postcolonial people talking pride in their culture and history even if it means playing up stereo types and formulaic plot lines .

• We can see that how cricket, the once proud cultural form of Colonial Britain , is subverted in such a way that it becomes a tool for decolonisation .Decolonisation is a dialogue with the colonial past, and not a simple dismantling of the colonial habits and modes of life.

•   Lagaan is a massive film and it is realm of British colonialism - Indian nationalism and Postcolonial discourse. Lagaan is an intellectual interests in colonial British Indian and subsequently Postcolonialism .

• Lagaan in 2001 India epic sports drama film, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, produced by Amir khan and Manoor khan, and written by Gowariker and Abbas Tyree alarm.

• Amir khan stars along with debutant Gravy Singh, with  British actors Rachel Shelley and Paul Blackthorne playing supporting roles. The film was shot in an ancient village near Bhuj, India.

• This is the story about the resilience shown by the Indians when they were under the British Rule. They are already taxed to the bone by the British and their cronies, but when Jack Russell announces that he will double the Lagaan (tax) from all villagers, they decide to oppose it.

•  Leading the villagers is a handsome young man named Bhuvan, who challenges them to a game of cricket, a game that is to be played by veteran British cricket players, versus villagers, including Bhuvan himself, who have never played this game before, and do not even know a bat from a piece of wood. 

• As the challenge is accepted, the interest grows and attracts Indians from all over the region, as well as the British from all over the country - as everyone gathers to see the 'fair play' that the British will display against their counter-parts, who are aided by none other than the sister, Elizabeth, of Captain Rusell.
