Lagaan
Timeless classics are rare – more so in
Bollywood. But with Lagaan, what Ashutosh Gowariker
and Aamir Khan have achieved is more than just
an Oscar nomination for the best foreign film
of the year. Right from concept till realization,
Lagaan has challenged traditional Bollywood wisdom
and style of working to create the greatest movie
ever made by an Indian production house.
Further, it has, through proliferation of products
and events, continuously remained in the consumer’s
mind. From the concept to the completion, Lagaan
is a mission that throws up all evidences of a
challenger. The key differentiator, however, lies
in the refusal to dilute the film in anyway, making
it one of truly international and memorable quality. |
