Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, 2001 ★★★★★

Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, 2001 ★★★★★

I've watched Lagaan in a packed theater in India the week it released and that experience can never be replicated. But this is one the best movies that India has produced. Heck, it even got nominated for the Oscars. It's the quintessenial Indian movie; songs, melodrama, and of course, cricket.
