Amir Khan stars along with debutant Gracy Singh, with British actors Rachel Shelley and Paul Blackthorne playing supporting roles. The film was shot in an ancient village near Bhuj, India.
During the British Raj, a farmer named Bhuvan accepts the challenge of Captain Andrew Russell to beat his team in a game of cricket and enable his village to not pay taxes for the next three years.
What is the lesson of this movie
Lagaan movie was a great Inspiration for Aspiring Leaders.
The movie taught us many things.
- To see problems as an opportunities: When the Captain from British challenged Bhuvan for a cricket match,Bhuvan saw it as a way to bring happiness into the lives of people.
- Implementation is as important as Dreaming: Bhuvan dreamt of bringing happiness in the lives of people by winning the match for which he clearly defined the goal and discussed the plan and Implementation with the villagers.
- Selflessness: It's a very great quality for a leader to have. In fact every leader should put the interests of his people before his own. Bhuvan did exactly the same.
- No matter what comes in your way, be determined: When Bhuvan thought of including an untouchable in the team, villagers opposed him but he stood still and determined and in the end convinced everyone that it would be beneficial for the team.
- Small examples to learn complex things: Cricket was altogether a complex game for the villagers initially, but Bhuvan compared it with an already well known game of Gulli-danda.
- Building the team: Food tastes good only if the ingredients are in the right proportion. Same is the case with a team. If a team has to succeed,it should have the right people and Bhuvan makes this possible by understanding the people and treats every individual differently, again a very good quality for a leader to have.
- Getting people into your team is just half the task, assigning them their roles is as important.
- Lastly, OVER CONFIDENCE kills :D ,The british were over confident about their victory which eventually made them lose.
