This movie is very similar to Kyoto Ballman

1. All are sports games, one is football and the other is cricket;
2. Both are oppressed and colonized nations, China and India;
3. Both have a handsome muscular guy who started to resist, Zhang Fengyi and Amir Han;
4 、They are all a group of players with their own unique skills, they are not able to learn and make rapid progress at the beginning;
5. There is a foreign woman from the opposing camp who falls in love with the captain and supports the team, and in the end they have an ambiguous crush. No results;
6. Of course, in the end, the oppressed and bullied side finally wins.

Kyoto Ballman was released in 1987, but India was released in 2001, can we proudly say that China has also been copied abroad?

If this feature film removes the resistance to colonial oppression and national characteristics, it does not have much feature in film art. More than 3 hours is quite prolonged, and the plot is not enough to support such a long content. That is, when playing cricket, there are a lot of things that can be ignored. The past shots also appeared repeatedly and took up a lot of time. You must know that this is not a broadcast of a game but a movie.

Amir Han's performances in this film are not good either. He always carries a high-profile shelf and is full of heroic temperament, not as witty and agile as others such as the three fools.

Finally, there is a translation called the Battle of Honor. This translation has been thoroughly defeated. It is estimated that I did not watch the plot. It is obviously a battle for the benefit of betting on taxes for three years.

    The Indian version of "Kyoto Baller" is too long?

Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India quotes

  • [Russell comes back from his meeting with the senior soldiers, where they got mad about the tax cancellation, a soldier salutes and walks by...]

    Capt. Russell: Is that the way a soldier behaves? You're SUPPOSED TO SALUTE when a superior officer passes!

    British Soldier: I did, Sir.

    Capt. Russell: I didn't see it!

    British Soldier: [Salutes]

    Capt. Russell: That's better.

    Lt. Smith: I imagine your meeting didn't go quite as expected, sir?

    Capt. Russell: Damn right it didn't! The senile old hats want to teach me how to run the show. They've lost their sense of adventure with age!

  • [watching British play Cricket so they can learn, and they see the Umpire stick his finger up]

    Tipu: Why is he pointing up?

    Bhuvan: That's what I'M trying to understand.

    Guran: Maybe he's calling for his Ma. She's sitting up there, eh?
