The year is 1893 and India is under British occupation. In a small village, the tyrannical Captain Russell has imposed an unprecedented land tax on its citizens. Outraged, Bhuvan, a rebellious farmer, rallies the villagers to publicly oppose the tax. Russell offers a novel way to settle the dispute: he challenges Bhuvan and his men to a game of cricket, a sport completely foreign to India. If Bhuvan and his men can defeat Russell's team, the tax will be repealed.

About Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
In the heart of 1890s India, the parched village of Champaner faces crippling taxes imposed by the British Raj. When the arrogant Captain Andrew Russell proposes a wager, a cricket match against the villagers, the stakes are impossibly high. Victory means the cancellation of their lagaan (tax) for three years, while defeat signifies a triple tax burden. With no knowledge of the game, Bhuvan, a charismatic young farmer, accepts the challenge, uniting his village and learning to play cricket to fight for their freedom and dignity. Will they succeed against all odds in this David-versus-Goliath battle?
