What is the story about?
Aamir Khan-starrer 2001 hit Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India is coming back to the big screen. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the iconic film is set to be re-released in cinemas on June 12 to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Aamir Khan Productions released a new trailer for Lagaan on Wednesday, June 3. The update was shared on the official Instagram handle with a note that read, "A timeless epic that touched every heart. On the 25th Anniversary of LAGAAN the epic saga returns to the big screen. Relive the magic in theatres on 12th, 13th and 14th June."
Set in 1893 during the British Raj, Lagaan narrates the story of a small village in central India facing oppressive agricultural taxes during a devastating drought. To settle their dues, a defiant young farmer named Bhuvan accepts a high-stakes wager from an arrogant British officer to play a game of cricket. If the villagers win, their taxes are waived for three years; if they lose, they must pay triple.
In addition to Aamir Khan, the film also featured Gracy Singh as Gauri, Paul Blackthorne as Captain Andrew Russell, Rachel Shelley as Elizabeth Russell and Amitabh Bachchan as the narrator.
