leplatypus First of all, i want to thank my parents for having this DVD in their collection : I don't know how they got it but with their help, i could find a awesome movie that, as usual, becomes totally transparent in our western and french medias !For sure, as we are brainwashed to expect big productions or big names, we never pay attention to oriental movies and it's a big error as this one took me back to the candid joy as a kid discovering films for a 1st time !In short, this movie has all the simple things that makes you feel happy :1) You leave your daily life and you are taken into a new one : here we are in India, late XIX and it's good as this land and folklore are nearly forgotten by filmmakers : Except Indy 2, Octopussy, i don't have watched other movies happening there ! 2) At last, we have another point of view ! actually, when i see a western movie happening in Orient, it's about a war in which the natives are depicted as enemies and West the good savior. Here, as told in the excellent movie Brother, we left this propaganda and are closer to the truth : West is an arrogant invader that spoils and squeezes resources from the natives ! This is maybe the first time i hear this argument in a movie and it's good ! 3) In our materialistic, consumerist and loose-valued society, we take anyone different from us as retarded, dumb and degenerate. Here, i see women veiled and working for the household and i can't say they are exploited as told by today propaganda. Those people wear traditional clothes but they can express their feelings and they have more interesting things to say that i'm a beauty, see my perfect body, etc… 4) For sure, we are frightened by the fact that we know nobody's name on the cover, as much we are instructed to except big names for a big movie ! However, all those fresh faces are cool, talented and crush the Hollywood and french myth ! Newcomers can do as good and even better than films legends ! 5) The movie has a clear story, with well done cliffhangers involving well-defined and balanced characters and the production knows how to tell it : so it's not about like video music and cutting frame each seconds, grading colors to a what-if world and confusing special effects with a story ! At last, as it's a sport movie, we find as in Rocky all the values that sports can teach (solidarity, efforts) and i must praise all the production because the 3 days match was not all repetitive or unintelligible but this final showdown was a test in human nature !So if you are tired of seeing the same faces, desperate of propaganda and endless violence, try this movie and you will discover that yes, there's a different way to do movies … and different cultures in the world !

Shashank Sharma Great movie of all times in Bollywood. I like the actor Amir Khan, he actually blends in with the hero's virtual life and shows it like a reality. The story line was also ultimate. I saw this movie when I was a child and till now I haven't forgotten about anything in that movie. Amir khan is just a awesome superstar and chooses his films appropriately. He has shown its dedication towards Bollywood cinema and which shows. He caters his movies to have a social moral or a thought to the movie which generally now the movies lacks. I really enjoys his movies specially now a days because he is now very particular with the choice of his movies and script.Thanks

nyssorteras Lagaan gave me so much good vibes. I am very much inspired by this film to dream big.It made me cry sad but more on happy tears. I actually felt I was part of the crowd cheering the farmers. The movie shows a mix of faith, love, hope, loyalty, kindness, courage, and solidarity.I love watching foreign movies. And I must say that Lagaan is one of the best movies I've seen to date.Yes, the movie is so long but it's worth watching.Job well done to all who have worked so hard to bless our world with this beautiful film. Thank you. I've seen a lot of passion in this movie. "The earth is ours, so is the sky."All the love.N :)

vishaal811 This movie is widely regarded as one of the greatest Bollywood movies of all time and it definitely deserves that recognition. The scope, production budget and attention to detail were unprecedented for the time in which it was released. Apart from that, the natural performances given by the actors make the movie one to remember. The runtime of the movie is absolutely huge but surprisingly passes by in a breeze. The wonderful soundtrack composed by A.R. Rahman is one of the best ever and it complements the movie beautifully. Aamir Khan shows that he is one of the most talented actors in India and always chooses his movies wisely. I hope that other filmmakers take inspiration from this movie and try to make more such movies which show the real India. A must watch for all cinema-goers.
