Film screening on movie : Lagaan

On the special day 15th Aug, 2018 we have watched  the movie Lagan (2001) directed by Ashutosh Gowariker.

    This film covers various topics like patriotism, postcolonialism, religion and many more.

In the beginning of the movie we can see that the through the drought scene all villagers are in trouble. Since a very long time there is no rain and all the farmers are facing lack of water. They have to face many problems and the villagers are losing hope day by day. Meanwhile, the villagers are waiting for rain and when it comes, it brings happiness for them. Now they find hope again.

The protagonist of the film Bhuvan does not belong to a rich family but he belong to a middle class farmer's family . Naturally the hero got all the qualities and stand like a perfect leader and he can face each and every problem with positiveness. He is always worried  about all people of village. He believes in unity of village.He sacrificed  for the sake of the village.

There is a strong believers of religion. We can see the influence of God over the mind of villagers who are doing prayer again and again. Specially when they are facing problem. Temple is always used for reflecting the religious mindset of people, that how they are doing prayer in their worst condition.

Effect of postcolonialism :

         Here we see the effect of postcolonialism is still present  among Indians. In the film, there is colonial game cricket which was played by the Indians to win the challenge given by the Britishers .There is strong impact of the Britishers over the mind of Indians that still in present they are not able to come out from this game.

Leadership  Quality : 

In the  film we can see the leadership qualities in Bhutan. He got all the leadership qualities such as, team building, deal with each and every member equality. He solve all the problem with positive attitude. He has ability to forgive people. In the last when he comes to know about the cheating of Lakha, he gave him second chance. When all want to fight and beat to Lakha brutally, that time Bhutan saves him.
 
In the film there is one character  named "kachra".He was untouchable and his name also reflects the unwantedness of the character. All the villagers hatred him. No one give respect him. All called him as a "kachra".he is playing  cricket  good. So, Bhutan want to take Lachesis in team but all villagers  are refused because  of his untouchability. No one like Lachesis. But at that time Bhutan agreed all villagers  to take kachra in team and and we can't imagine that he is playing too good from the other player. In the match he shows his talent and all the villagers are shocked and surprised. He covers many runs in the match. And after the match all accepted him happily. 

 In the film we also the theme of love. We can see the triangle of love.bhuvan and Radha loves each other. And Elizabeth  was also love the Bhuvan.But beacause of problem  of language  Bhuvan don't  know that Elizabethan love for her. He  not aware about it that his coach master Elizabeth  loves him.
