Tuesday

Lagaan

"Why cricket is still popular in India." ▲ ♪

If you like opressive rulers being routed by a ragtag village of farmers in a cricket match set in 1893 then you should watch this film. If you like Bollywood in all its glory then you should watch this film. If you like Aamir Khan then you should watch this film. And lastly, if you haven't yet watched this film then you should definitely watch this film.

Only 225 minutes long.

Favorite Moments: Rain dance, accepting the untouchable, the match.

I am not sure if it was Oscar worthy but Lagaan sure was a nice movie. It was a nice change from the regular run of the mill masala movies.
