The Young India

Kartikey Sehgal
The film Lagaan has a captivating screenplay. It mixes reality with fantasy and entertains while projecting the plight of the villagers.

The men of this village wear ironed clothes of different colours.
The women are healthy despite subsisting on a sukhi roti. Festivals
are celebrated with élan and the dances are passionately synchronised.
The village is happier than you would expect it to be under the economically cruel British rule.

Let’s remove fantasy from the realm of tangibility and see it as dream and imagination.
