For the unversed, Lagaan was released in 2001 and also featured Gracy Singh in the lead role. The sports drama flick was written and directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar. Set in 1893, Lagaan tells the story of pre-Independent India where residents of a small village in central India were challenged by an arrogant British officer for a game of cricket as a wager to waive off their taxes.
