I really like this movie, but it seems impossible to find a good DVD (region 1) copy. This one shows many imperfections like the flickering of an old film. The only great copy I have been able to find is a PAL copy. Still a great film.

Horrible! DVD stopped playing mid-movie! Also, it’s a cheap copy. Cover is just a very cheap (not even good looking) print. I was very disappointed.

My husband and I watched and enjoyed this long film about 20? years ago, and I still remember being surprised at how much we liked it. Had watched and been rather bored with cricket in Australia earlier, now bought a copy to view again and share!

Safely and promptly shipped. I apologize for taking so long to review this, but I finally have enough time to watch this EPIC to ensure it's quality. ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!! I owned this movie before, but made the mistake of lending it out only to never see it again. It's just as good now as it was then. If I had to choose only a few movies to ever watch again ,this would be at the top. The pride and beauty of India is in every frame. If you liked Rocky then you will love this! THANK YOU ericsoddsends, just THANK YOU!

If you like movies about an underdog, then you will like this. It's a small Indian village vs. the British soldiers in a game of cricket with their lives on the line.

Once I decide I like a movie enough to see it over and over, that means it's a winner. This is such a movie.

I don't like many Hindi musicals, but this one will be a definite favorite. What I really liked were the songs...after you see the movie, you'll want to go and buy the soundtrack. The characters seem very genuine (they speak a dialect one would speak if they live in a village isolated from a city), and pathos was very well used to get the audience to loathe the British officers. Elizabeth is a very pretty character, and what she felt for Bhuvan was really romantic. However, I think the fact that she learned a fairly good amount of Hindi in one day and the fact that she says she doesn't have friends isn't so believable. Besides that, I think the movie is really good, whether or not you've watched a Bollywood movie before.
LAGAAN is a musical drama which tells the story of Bhuvan, a caring young farmer from central India, and of a Indian farming village in Victorian times and what they must go through in order to survive. The people of the village has not had any rain for 2 years and await the monsoons in order for their crops to grow. A British Captain wants double lagaan(taxes) on the crops from the villagers. It ends up that the Captain will triple the lagaan if the villagers do not win a game of cricket, a game as foreign to them as it is to most Americans. Bhuvan (Aamir Khan)begins to teach the villagers the game with the help of the Captains' sister. They must win the game in order to not pay lagaan for 2 years or the Captain will triple the lagaan if they lose. The movie, the dancing, the choreography are wonderful and the music is enchanting and one is more than tempted to sing along with the movie. Wonderful!Read full review
In my opinion this movie received more attention than it deserved. No doubt it is better than average bollywood fare, but I do not see how it deserved to be nominated for Oscars. Camerawork is good, story is 'good' (make it 'better' for cricket fans or those who understand it) and lead actor, Aamir Khan, is quite popular in India. But other than that there is nothing on offer.
