15 Years Of Lagaan
Lagaan, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, released on June 15, 2001. Aamir Khan starred as Bhuvan, a young British Raj-era villager who captains a team of first-timers in a cricket match against the local British officers. The stakes are high - no taxes for three years if the villagers win, double the taxes if they lose.
No prizes for guessing who won.
The film also starred Gracy Singh, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Suhasini Mulay. Raghubir Yadav, Yashpal Sharma, Rajesh Vivek, Raj Zutshi, Pradeep Rawat, Akhilendra Mishra, Daya Shankar Pandey, Shrivallabh Vyas, Amin Hajee and Aditya Lakhia formed the rest of the village XI. British actors Paul Blackthorne starred as Captain Andrew Russell and Rachel Shelley as his sister, Elizabeth.
Lagaan was India's official entry to 2002 Oscars and the third film to have made it into the final five after Mother India and Salaam Bombay.
