Hey guys saw the movie yesterday lagaan again its really awesome.The movie 'Lagaan' which literally means Tax in the form of grains is a story of ordinary people set in a small village 'Champaner' in Central India during the British rule in 1893. The tale narrates the determination of the villagers to fight against injustice and opposition.The story goes like this...There is no rain in the village since a year. The villagers who depend on rain for farming are unable to pay the lagaan to the ruler Captain Russel. On top of that they are asked to pay dugna lagaan means two taxes. Captain Russell gives an alternative to the villagers that if they defeat the British in a game of cricket, they will be exempted from tax for three consecutive years but if they loose they will have to pay three times more lagaan. It becomes a life or death situation for the villagers.
Bhuvan a young farmer takes up the impossible task to save his village. He forms a team of 11 with his fellowmen. Elizabeth Captain Russell's sister who has a soft corner for Bhuvan gives her full support to the villagers cause despite her brother's opposition. Gauri, a village girl loves Bhuvan and has complete faith in him.Really a good movie must watch for every indian its all about how to fight for victory and winning.
