The movie is nice but a little boring because of its runtime is three hours and some and it tires until the person most patient. The yarn concerns about inhabitants of a village whose leader (Aamir Khan got his ears pierced so that he could actually wear earrings) asks the English deputies for the exemption a tax called Lagaan . Officer at command (Paul Blackthorne) will free them for three years if they earn a cricket match . The officer's sister (Rachel Shelley) will teach them to play cricket game .
The film has an excellent musical scenario , the choreography is fantastic , the songs are enjoyable . The movie was shot in villages of Bhuj (Gujarat); Bhuj was destroyed in an earthquake on 26th January 2001, six months after the movie was shot . The first Bollywood production to use synchronized sound , most Indian films are dubbed entirely in the studio in the process . Bollywood has got a lot of experience in this kind of movies . The Bollywood center is located in Bombay , where has been shot hundreds of films .
The flick mingles comedy , songs, music , cricket sport, a love story , joy and a lot of fun . The movie is an India/British production though mostly produced by the first country and specially by the main starring : Aamir Khan , a true idol in India with millions of fans. The film will appeal to the musical genre buffs and cricket lovers. Rating: 6'5/10 good . Better than average , well worth watching.
