Story:
Bhuvan (Aamir) is a guy who is a farmer. He along with the other farmers is against the British getting taxes (Lagaan) But the British officer Russell (Paul Blackthorne) asks them to pay double tax that year. They go to the Raja and asks him to consider reducing it. At the time, the englishmen play cricket. Bhuvan makes fun of the game. The officer challenges them to beat them in a game of cricket in order to get rid of their Lagaan. This is the condition: Beat us in a game of cricket and no Lagaan for three years. Bhuvan agrees but the villagers do not. But they also agree to go by Bhuvan and try to defeat the Britishers. They form a team of 11 players and practice cricket with a English lady who teaches them cricket. She is also in love of Bhuvan. Another girl, Gauri who is Bhuvan's friend is also in love with Bhuvan.A member of the team tries to fix the match with the British captain. He plays in the team but accepts to underperform. They start the match. The britishers elect to bat and score 323 all out by some good bowling by these farmers. Then headed by Bhuvan, they accomplish the game of the last ball of the match. And the Britishers are forced to leave their village and Gauri is married to Bhuvan.The other English lady goes back to England broken heart.
Acting:
The artistes in the movie have acted very well.Bhuvan acted beautifully in his role as a leader. Gracy Singh was crisp in her acting as so the other actors who acted very well.
Music:
The music was a big hit in many places. The best music director scores the best music. A.R. Rehman scored probably his best music in all songs and the best song was probably "Ghanan Ghanan" which was my favourite.
Other Comments:
The crew performed very well. They gave us a very nice thriller match. Great direction by Ashutosh Gowariker. "Lagaan" is graded by me to be a 85/100 starrer because of it's great story, screenplay, thriller match, and great music -

after 5 minutes...switched the channel...
