Bhuvan: Hey Gauri! There's only one house in the village with a neem tree in the yard. There's also a big field beside it. There's some chickens, two cows, and three goats. And I know whose house that is! It's mine, you silly girl! One thing before you go. Mother likes you, too!

As a sports movie, "Lagaan" is dramatized with great élan and suspense

The setting is historical The year is 1893 The British Raj imposes heavy taxes on the poor villagers despite all the problems droughts have caused on their income

An arrogant army captainunknown to him that his sister has fallen in love with a sensitive idealisticconfident in his countrymen's ability, offers the people relief if they can beat the fearsome British team at a game of cricket

Despite its closeness to the conventions, "Lagaan" proved to be a break-out film Besides the graceful and enchanting attractions of the song-and-dance sequences, it has a plot carefully fashioned to a special kind of audienceaudience who likes sports movies

They are minor characters compared to the captain's pretty sister (Rachel Shelley), who not only upholds the British tradition of fair play but also loses her heart to the handsome Indian hero
