Lagaan - 2001 - 6/10
Native Hindi take on British oppressors at their own sport. Cricket.
Also a doomed romance between an English rose and Hindu boy.
Team India is wildly diverse, checking multiple demographics.
The caste racism is alluded to, though skirted.
Most unbelievable is the one-sided romance.
Sex-farm antics I might have bought, but emotional involvement, no.
Film looks great, and the sporting conflict builds nicely.
The match is exhilarating. Watch if only for that.
