Marj is right about this movie , Lagaan. A wonderful production, much better than any Indian movie I have even seen. If somebody is interested in watching an indian movie, this is a must.
Marj wrote about the plot already. Some of the interesting things about the moive are, It's british cast for the first time in an Indian movie, it's huge budget, it's perfectionist producer, who also is the hero. The movie incited much talk and rumor in the Bollywood with little hopes of success. Most of the new generation of movie goers in India, who have access to Hollywood mvies wanted it to be successful, in hope that it might change the trend in Indian film industry. To what extent that will happen is yet to be seen. One good sign though, was the recent release of another movie (also starring Amir Khan...the hero of Lagaan)called Dil Chahta Hai. We can call it "second drop of rain". It was also a hit and hopefully will help a lot in changing the way movies are made in Bollywood.
