    In the first year of high school, I was taught badly by the art teacher, and he always let us watch this kind of movie. It seems that we also watched "Kiujiro's Summer" and "Myth" later. By the way, the male protagonist is the star of "Three...

    It's not as good as the other stinky races, the tone of colonial oppression is not too depressing, the song and dance are long, but because it is played by Aamir Khan, you should watch...

    Watching songs and dances in the front and sports in the back, this kind of story can actually predict the ending from the beginning, after all, it is necessary to establish a national hero image. So it doesn't make sense to have so much suspense in the game. However, it is still a bit new to cricket, and it will not be too boring. I don't like the emotional line of the British heroine very much, and some character settings are too formalized. The singing and dancing with Indian characteristics...

    The story of the South Asian subcontinent

    India, Britain, colonialism, turkey, caste, cricket, religion...These are the most important elements on the South Asian subcontinent. Amir Khan combined these elements to present an inspirational story of small fights.

    Amir Khan made a fortune in history

    Four years ago, I watched the first Indian movie "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", and I was deeply shocked. The clear blue sky and sea at the end of the screen seemed to wash my soul again, making me think about the meaning of life and my pursuit. A few months ago, I watched "Wrestling...

Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India quotes

  • Col. Boyer: At ease, Captain. You know Major Cotton. That is Major Warren. Take a seat. Now, what is this we hear? That you have agreed to cancel the tax of the farmers in Champaner if they beat you in a game of cricket? Is this true?

    Capt. Russell: Yes, Colonel Boyer, sir, it is.

    Col. Boyer: What on earth do you think you're here for? To play games?

    Maj. Warren: Let me remind you that you are working here for Her Majesty, the Queen. Your job is to ensure the smooth running of your province.

    Capt. Russell: Pardon me, sir, but that's exactly what I'm doing.

    Maj. Cotton: I think we'll be the judge of that, Russell! We also understand that if you lose this so-called match, you will cancel their taxes for the next three years.

    Maj. Warren: Not just Champaner but the entire province.

    Capt. Russell: But they won't win.

    Maj. Warren: You're missing the whole bloody point! Do you realize, Captain Russell, that we could have on our hands a bloody situation where there'll be cricket matches happening all over the damn sub-continent in order to cancel the bloody tax?

    Capt. Russell: There is one thing you don't know. If they lose, which they will, they will have to pay the Queen three times the tax.

    Maj. Cotton: This is ridiculous! This OFFICER wants to make the government a bookie through which he can place his wagers! What'll you have us do next? Race horses?

    Col. Boyer: This is the most preposterous idea I have ever heard of! Now jolly well understand this: if you win, you will have had a narrow escape. But if you lose, YOU will pay the taxes for Champaner and the entire province OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET! And then you'll be packed off to Central Africa! Is that clear?

    Capt. Russell: Yes, Sir!

    Col. Boyer: That'll be all. You may go.

  • Gauri: I have faith in you and in your courage.
