Lagaan is one of my favourite Bollywood movies...evilzadi wrote:I think you're talking about Lagaan. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169102/TheyCallMeMrGlass wrote:.. One was a really good film about a cricket match bet between the British Raj and the poor locals of an Indian Village who havent a clue how to play the game but is forced to try and beat the British team to win their freedom (or was it money? cant remember) but being a cricket fan I loved this one and it didnt have Sharukh Khan in it, lol...
I've watched it a couple of times, it's very good.
Not a typical bollywood but a great story and great performances by the main actors.
I'd like to recommend a few more:
Devdas: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238936/
Veer-Zara: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420332/
If you're looking for something with a modern twist and some humour, give Salaam Namaste a go (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0456165/)...
I've been told Ghajini is rather good. Not seen it but from the plot it seems to be 'remake' of Memento...

Will post some feedback once I've given it a go...
