About this product
Product Information
Considered to be a modern classic of Indian cinema, LAGAAN is a musical drama which tells the story of a central Indian farming village in 1893. The village waits for the monsoons to come and rain on its crops, but the ground remains dry and infertile. Meanwhile, British ruler Captain Russell (Paul Blackthorne) demands lagaan--or double normal taxes--from the villagers. When it becomes clear that they can't pay, Russell challenges the villagers to a game of cricket, a game they know nothing about. Teaching the villagers about the game falls on the shoulders of farmer Bhuvan (Aamir Khan). As they begin to learn, the villagers are inspired to go up against Russell, with tax negotiation as the stakes for the game. Full of choreographed musical numbers and climaxing in a pulse-pounding cricket match, LAGAAN is a fun, heartwarming British/Indian production that should have no difficulties translating across other national borders.Product Identifiers

Doesn't compare to PAL version
I really like this movie, but it seems impossible to find a good DVD (region 1) copy. This one shows many imperfections like the flickering of an old film. The only great copy I have been able to find is a PAL copy. Still a great film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Please do not buy. Movie stopped playing midway. Movie and cover both cheap copy.
Horrible! DVD stopped playing mid-movie! Also, it’s a cheap copy. Cover is just a very cheap (not even good looking) print. I was very disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Lasting impression.....
My husband and I watched and enjoyed this long film about 20? years ago, and I still remember being surprised at how much we liked it. Had watched and been rather bored with cricket in Australia earlier, now bought a copy to view again and share!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Only the best pure and simple.
Safely and promptly shipped. I apologize for taking so long to review this, but I finally have enough time to watch this EPIC to ensure it's quality. ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!! I owned this movie before, but made the mistake of lending it out only to never see it again. It's just as good now as it was then. If I had to choose only a few movies to ever watch again ,this would be at the top. The pride and beauty of India is in every frame. If you liked Rocky then you will love this! THANK YOU ericsoddsends, just THANK YOU!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This Movie is a Winner! Won't regret it!
If you like movies about an underdog, then you will like this. It's a small Indian village vs. the British soldiers in a game of cricket with their lives on the line.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
