Where to start with Lagaan

One film, and the only thing to know going in is the length. It runs 233 minutes, which is close to four hours, and the last hour or so is a single cricket match played in real detail. That sounds like a warning and it is not: the match works because the three hours before it have told you exactly what every player stands to lose.

    Lagaan (2001) Lagaan

    A village in 1893 is told its land tax will be tripled, and is offered a way out: beat the British garrison at cricket, a game nobody in the village has played. Aamir Khan produced it and stars, and it was Ashutosh Gowariker's breakthrough.

Then what? There is no sequel. If the appetite is for more Aamir Khan sport, Dangal from 2016 is the obvious next film, and it is a very different kind of picture about a very similar idea.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
