4:32The year is 1893.
4:36Champaner...
4:38A small village in the heart of India.
4:45The people of Champaner depended on agriculture...
4:48...like those in thousands of other villages.
4:54A British Cantonment bordered the village.
5:02Two miles south, beyond the Cantonment...
5:06...was the fort of the Raja of this province.
5:09The British protected the Raja's domain from attacks...
5:12...by neighbouring rulers.
5:14They also promised the other Rajas protection from this Raja!
5:19Thanks to this double-dealing, the British collected a tax...
5:24...from the Rajas - which was paid by every farmer in the country.
5:31Lagaan...
5:34The submission of a portion of the farmer's harvest...
5:38...to the Raja as tax.
5:43Every Raja collected Lagaan from villages under his rule.
5:50The Raja would keep one share and give the rest to the British.
5:57In this way, the British fist grew iron strong.
6:02Like thousands of villagers across the country...
6:05...the farmers toiled day and night on empty bellies...
6:09...and paid taxes to the Raja year after year.
6:17Last year it rained... but very little.
6:21And this year, there has been no rain so far.
6:29Parched eyes scan the sky.
6:51You're standing there again, Mai. What are you gazing at?
6:58When will the sky darken with clouds!
7:02How I long to see it...
7:04A month of the rainy season is gone by. Not a drop of rain yet!
7:10I'm coming...
7:13By God's grace, we have drinking water at least.
7:18Or we'd be parched to the bone.
7:21Such are His ways...!
7:23That's true, Mai.
7:24But the fields are thirsty. How'll the grain ripen!
7:28Don't lose heart, Hari Bhai.
7:31If the sky doesn't give water, we'll dig deep into the ground.
7:35We'll tear up the earth and get water. It's what I told Bhuvan.
7:40Where is he?
7:42He went out in the morning.
7:45It's time to eat. Send him home if you see him.
7:48Yes, Mai.
7:51Stop! You little pests! Stop! I'll wring your necks!!
7:55Oh, no! The Great Chicken War again!
7:59Goli, you freak! See if I don't ram you down a gun barrel!
8:08Go to hell, Bhura!
8:10Come here, I'll show you!
8:13You just wait, I'm coming!
8:15I'll thrash you so bad you won't get up from bed for days!
8:18How dare you hit my kids?
8:20I'll hang them upside down and burn chillies under them!
8:23Hassle my hens, will they!
8:25And you bleat once more and I'll burn your slingshot!
8:29Is that so, ha!
8:31Oh, stop this daily ruckus! You fight worse than cats and dogs.
8:35But his boys tease my hens!
8:38So? Are they hens or girls! He acts like they've been molested!
8:41Your hens aren't going to get married, you know.
8:44Look, Bhura, they are just kids. And, Goli, control your boys.
8:47Okay... Now tell me, have you seen Bhuvan?
8:50No. You seen him, Bhura?
8:52No.
8:53Why?
9:01Left, right, left.
9:03Left, right, left.
9:29Scumbags! Sons of unmarried jackals!
9:35Strutting around in the blazing heat!
9:37One day you're going back to your frozen little island...
9:41...whimpering!
9:42I see Saturn glaring balefully at you.
9:46Hey, Guran. Why bother reading their lousy fortune?
9:49They won't even care. Read my fortune, won't you?
10:01Come on, tell me. Will I get the Prince of my dreams?
10:04Why not?
10:06If you truly love him, he'll give you your wedding bangle.
10:10You'll be his bride.
10:13Really? You heard, Jigni. - Yes!
10:16But... - But what?
10:20I see an obstacle.
10:23What obstacle? Tell me quickly, Guran.
10:25Gauri! - Later.
10:28Read my fortune.
10:31What is it, Kaka?
10:32Was Guran telling your fortune?
10:34No... er... yes.
10:36He's mad.
10:37He's got no clue about the present and just babbles about the future!
10:41No, Hari Kaka. He's not mad.
10:44Have you forgotten Aunt Durga?
10:46She was childless for nine years after marriage.
10:49Then Guran said she'd have a son.
10:51And wasn't Somu born? Then there is Kesariya...
10:54All right, that lunatic is not mad.
10:58Now tell me. You saw Bhuvan anywhere?
11:02I haven't seen him but I know where he will be.
11:05Amazing! Our little girl surely keeps tabs on him, doesn't she?
11:09Hey, Lakha! What is it to you?
11:12I see! It concerns me and I'm not to open my mouth!
11:18Wear wedding bangles for me.
11:21Lakha, what nonsense is this!
11:23I really mean it, father.
11:25Look. You've grown old and our Gauri here doesn't care for me.
11:30Here, look at this!
11:32See how badly I am hurt.
11:35Hurt?
11:38It's my father you need, not me.
11:41Bapu! - What is it?
11:43Lakha has a gash on his hand.
11:47Well, Lakha. You seem to cut your hand more than you chop wood.
11:51What can I do, Isar Chacha!
11:53I always seem to be wounding myself... so badly.
11:59Kaka, I'll go fetch Bhuvan.
12:03Listen. If you see him, tell him...
12:05...Mai is waiting for him.
12:07Yes, I'll tell him.
12:52One...
12:55Two...
12:57Three.
13:00Bloody hell! Missed again. Quick! Before it disappears.
13:02Over there!
13:04Wesson, you go around. Let's corner the blasted animal.
13:50One...
13:55Drop the stone.
14:04Finally! Got the damn creature.
14:08Good shot. - Thank you.
14:10Now for something a little bigger.
14:15Arrest him.
14:17Sir, this darkie was hiding in the bushes...
14:21...with this stone in his hand.
14:23He'd been distracting the deer all the time.
14:29Now I understand...
14:33...why I missed five times.
14:38Protector of animals, eh?
14:42He's a farmer, sir. From Champaner.
14:45Well, you must be a very good runner.
15:07Try saving this one.
15:18Next time I will shoot you.
15:29Captain Russell, sir.
15:30Raja Puran Singhji is waiting for you at the Cantonment.
15:34Puran Singh!
15:36What could he want now?
16:02BHUVAN...!
16:09BHUVAN...!
16:24Why're you screaming your head off?
16:27I was looking for you. Since I couldn't see you...
16:30Was I lying dead somewhere! - How should I know...
16:33God! What am I saying.
16:36But why are you so angry?
16:41Oh, never mind. What do you want?
16:44I've got something special to tell you.
16:46What?
16:48Sit down, won't you?
16:52So tell me.
16:54Guran read my fortune today.
16:58So, what's the misfortune?
17:00So mean! I won't tell you.
17:04All right. Tell me. Come on, tell me.
17:11Guran said...
17:12...I'll put henna on my hands this year...
17:18...I mean get married.
17:21Wow! That's great!
17:24Such happy news.
17:26You'll be dancing with joy. Who's the boy?
17:32How would I know?
17:35Guran didn't tell me that.
17:39But Guran said for sure...
17:41The house I marry into will have a Neem tree in the courtyard...
17:47A big field beside the house...
17:52...two cows, a pair of oxen and three goats.
17:58Guran said my home will be a little heaven.
18:09How wonderful! You're really lucky.
18:13Lucky! You call this lucky?
18:17Well, a little heaven of a home. What more do you want?
18:19God knows what'll become of me!
18:23Well, Bhuvan, tell me one thing. What kind of girl do you like?
18:28I...
18:32I will like only the girl whom my Mai likes.
18:38Whom Mai likes? - Yes.
18:40Oh, God! - What happened?
18:43Actually...
18:44...I came to tell you that your Mai wants you.
18:49You tell me now after all this time!
18:51You sit here now. I'm going.
18:55Bhuvan, I am sorry!
19:16Rajaji!
19:17How did your hunt go?
19:20The British are the best when it comes to hunting.
19:23The British Empire is the best in the world.
19:26Isn't that so? - Absolutely.
19:28But I am getting worried. - About what?
19:31When all the game in the jungle is finished...
19:34...what will your guns target next?
19:39We're fortunate that you came to visit us.
19:42But I don't know the reason.
19:44I've brought you a request on behalf of my subjects.
19:48Request?
19:50Good morning, Eliza. - Good morning.
19:52Your Highness, may I present my dear sister Elizabeth.
19:56She just arrived from London.
19:58Elizabeth, His Highness, Raja Puran Singh Chala of Champaner.
20:02It's my rare good fortune to meet you.
20:05Rajaji, she doesn't know Hindi.
20:07Of course. Charmed to meet you.
20:11Pleased to meet you, Your Highness.
20:13Sir. - Smith.
20:16Elizabeth, I'd like you to meet my deputy, Lieutenant Patrick Smith.
20:20How do you do, Lieutenant Smith? - Pleased to meet you.
20:23Gentlemen.
20:28Well, Rajaji. I am at your service.
20:31My people haven't worshipped at the Siddheshwar temple...
20:35...for the past three years.
20:38They believe...
20:40...performing puja will end the hardships they faced last year.
20:45But... - But...
20:46The temple is in the land ruled by Raja Diler Singh...
20:50...who is your cousin and enemy.
20:52And your very dear friend.
20:58I'm sure Diler Singh won't say no if you talk to him.
21:02No, thank you. I'm a vegetarian.
21:06I mean vegetarian.
21:10So, what do you think, Captain Russell? Is it possible?
21:15Well, he could be persuaded.
21:17Your work might be done.
21:22But on one condition.
21:26Condition? Yes, tell me.
21:31Eat the meat, Your Highness.
21:38You eat this meat... and I'll talk to Diler Singh.
21:44As I told you, I'm a vegetarian.
21:48I am a vegetarian!
21:51Just one piece of meat.
21:54You eat it and consider your job done.
22:00Andrew.
22:04Eat the meat.
22:11How's my eating meat connected to the temple?
22:16It's not connected.
22:18I just want to see you eating meat.
22:24To do my duty, I can't be false to my religion.
22:33I'm sorry.
22:37All right then. You'll have to pay me double tax.
22:41Double Lagaan...!?
22:43Look, Rajaji!
22:45Last year, I agreed to cut the tax by half at your request.
22:50And delayed, at that.
22:52You have to clear the arrears this year. So, double tax.
23:03But it hasn't rained yet.
23:06The British Raj doesn't bathe in India's rains, Rajaji.
23:11Rain or no rain. I must maintain this Cantonment.
23:15The army costs money. It has to be paid, fed and clothed...
23:22...for your protection.
23:26How will the farmers pay?
23:29Come on, Rajaji.
23:31It's only double the tax. And moreover...
23:36...you don't eat meat, right?
24:10Hey, Arjan. What's Bagha so thrilled about?
24:14I can't understand either.
24:15It must surely be something special.
24:17Hey, Bagha! What are you beating that drum for?
25:01Clouds!
25:06Dark and dense...
25:14Dark and dense come the swirling clouds
25:17Darkly dense roar the spreading clouds
25:20The clouds'thunderous sting reverberates
25:23Oh, look! How lethally does lightning flash
25:26The clouds make my heart race
25:30The clouds make every heart race
25:38O black cloud! Pour down rain
25:46O black cloud! Pour down rain
25:54Not lightning's flashy sword wield the arrows of raindrops
26:03The spreading clouds bring rain in their wake
26:06Swirling darkly the clouds come
26:12My leaping heart says
26:15Dance with joy
26:17Our days are transformed Step out of the house
26:20The clouds will rain down nectar
26:30Gone are days of hardship Sing the melodies of monsoon
26:35Dark and dense come the swirling clouds
26:38Darkly dense roar the spreading clouds
27:15When joyous rain pours
27:18Who then will remain athirst!
27:21The koel will sing perched on the parapet
27:26The songbirds will sing
27:29Of the new days that are to come
27:32Light shall smile at darkness
27:37Love's rain will drench hearts and bodies
27:40On the earth Oh, see, water's mirror
27:46Wherever you go
27:49You will see everywhere
27:52This one splendid sight
27:53The earth here wears a rainbow-hued veil
28:21Hang swings on the trees and stretch your legs high
28:30O black cloud! Pour down rain
28:38Not lightning's flashy sword wield the arrows of raindrops
29:18Now comes the intoxicating season
29:20To spread a carpet of green
29:23Bringing along the season of rain
29:29Anklets of lightning adorn her dancing feet
29:32The cloud is her veil
29:34The season comes to bedeck this bridal earth
29:39Every bough will wear a bracelet of blossoms
29:42Joy will now rain upon every courtyard
29:48Now every bud will bloom
29:51Every path will ring with laughter now
29:54The wafting breeze makes the season balmy
29:57Doused is the scorching heat burning body and soul
30:06O black cloud! Pour down rain
30:22Dark and dense come the swirling clouds
30:25Darkly dense roar the spreading clouds
30:29The clouds'thunderous sting reverberates
30:31Oh, look! How lethally does lightning flash
30:58Oh! Dear God! We celebrated too soon.
31:04One can't say what God is punishing us for.
31:07There'll be no rain this year too.
31:10Bloody lunatic.
31:11Always says inauspicious things! - Black-tongued wretch!!
31:33Hear! Hear this proclamation.
31:36Orders of Raja Puran Singh, your liege and master.
31:40This year, you shall pay twice the regular amount...
31:44...of wheat, rice and maize.
31:46The order of double Lagaan will apply to the whole province.
31:50How can this be possible! - This is tyranny!
31:57Double Lagaan!
32:00Demon! Why don't you just skin us alive, and be done with it!
32:04Our plight isn't hidden from the Raja. Even then, double Lagaan!
32:13What wrong have we done? Why should we pay double?
32:17We didn't pay tax on time last year. And we paid only half.
32:21But, father, it was Rajaji who waived it because it didn't rain.
32:26Sweets one year and abuse the next!
32:28It means we're being punished for it now! Well done, Rajaji!!
32:32Quiet, Lakha!
32:33I won't hear one word against our Rajaji.
32:37He and his ancestors have protected us all these years.
32:40So? Was that any favour?
32:43It's the tree's duty to shelter.
32:47All I want to know is...
32:49How long'll hungry stomachs sing his praise! Fill his coffers!
32:53Try and understand, Arjan.
32:55This demand is the doing of those damn White Sahibs.
33:00Whether we put it into the right hand or the left...
33:03...it's we who pay, Chief!
33:07I say we all go to the palace and talk to him.
33:12He's seen these clouds as well.
33:14We'll say we can't pay Lagaan this year. Not a grain!
33:20What if Rajaji refuses even after hearing us out?
33:26Then all the separate fingers will close into a fist, Chief.
33:29Meaning? You'll fight?
33:32If it's necessary, even that.
33:34Have you gone crazy!
33:36If you offend Rajaji...
33:38...not only you - we will all be ruined!
33:41Is your life now all joy and comfort? Aren't you suffering?
33:44Whatever happens, I won't let the whole village come to harm.
33:47What do you want?
33:50Sell our homes? Our cattle? Even ourselves?
33:53What justice is it to demand double Lagaan?
34:09Come on, Benson. Pitch it up a bit.
34:17Running.
34:19Chief, there's our Rajaji.
34:25Hey! Where're you going?
34:26Please, brother, we've got to meet His Highness. It's most urgent.
34:30All right. But the game is going on.
34:32Sit here. You must wait till the game gets over.
34:37All of you sit down.
34:47What are they playing?
34:50God knows what these Feringhees are playing.
34:55It's rather like our game of Gilli-Danda, you know.
35:00Why're these Whitey buffoons playing a kid's game then?
35:16Any clouds up there?
35:26Wasn't that a wonderful shot?
35:39You are not supposed to touch the ball.
35:57Bloody darkie! Arrest him!
36:06Long live Your Highness.
36:08What are you people doing here?
36:10Forgive us, Your Highness.
36:12We came to meet you, not to see their silly stupid game.
36:16We are desperately worried and this Feringhee just hits Bhura!
36:20I didn't like what you said.
36:23Forgive them, Captain Russell.
36:25They've come to me with their problems. Their lot is sad.
36:28And this boy is an innocent.
36:30He's not so innocent... It was you in the jungle, wasn't it?
36:40All right.
36:42We'll decide this after the game.
36:45Leave him.
36:49Come on, chaps. Back to the game.
36:53We'll talk after the game.
36:55As you wish, Your Highness.
37:06Well done, Smith. Well done.
37:43Long live Your Highness.
37:47All right, Headman. What's the matter?
37:51You know there's been no rain so far, Your Highness.
37:56If we can live on what we have this year...
38:00...we may just be able to get by.
38:02So, our liege lord! We've come to plead with you...
38:06Cancel our Lagaan this year. You are like our father!
38:11Listen, Headman.
38:13I can understand what you are all going through.
38:19But... my hands are tied as well.
38:22These Feringhees won't spare even their own kin.
38:30You'll have to pay double Lagaan.
38:33We'll die of hunger! - We'll starve!!
38:37Problem, Your Highness?
38:41These farmers have brought a petition.
38:43And that is?
38:44They want to be excused from paying Lagaan this year.
38:48I told them it's not possible.
38:52But... it is possible.
38:56How?
38:59I will tell you.
39:03All right. I'll cancel the tax.
39:12But... there is a condition.
39:15Condition! What condition, Sahib?
39:19You...
39:23Come here.
39:34What was that you said about our game?
39:38What did he say?
39:39Yes... A silly stupid game.
39:46What do you know about this game?
39:51We've played it since we were children. We call it Gilli-Danda.
39:55And you... who knows what you call it.
39:58Cricket!
40:03So you mean to say you can play this cricket?
40:10Yes... it's easy.
40:16All right.
40:18I'll cancel the Lagaan... But you must defeat us in the game.
40:26The condition is...
40:29You beat us at this game and you won't have to pay Lagaan.
40:39I'm serious.
40:44You beat us in this game...
40:46...and I'll cancel your tax.
40:57But if you lose...
41:01You'll have to pay triple tax, that is three times the Lagaan.
41:09All right?
41:11Tell me. You accept the wager?
41:29Sir, I think the cat's got his tongue.
41:33Quiet.
41:36All right. I will raise the stakes.
41:41If you defeat us in this game...
41:44...I'll cancel not only this year's Lagaan but next year's as well.
41:51Do you accept?
41:54Bhuvan! Don't say anything.
41:57Don't say a word. - Yes, just be silent.
42:03All right. I'll raise the bet even higher.
42:08Not just one year...
42:10I'll cancel Lagaan for the next two years. That means three years!
42:18And not just for you but for the whole province.
42:23Now do you accept?
42:27He's digging a pit to bury us in, Bhuvan.
42:30Chief, you speak up now. - Yes, Chief, you speak.
42:34Sahib!
42:35Shut up!
42:37You tell me.
42:42Will you pay double Lagaan?
42:45Or do you accept the bet?
43:14I accept the bet.
43:25Did he agree? - Yes, he did.
43:29All right.
43:31So it's decided... the game will be played after three months.
43:37This'll kill us, Your Highness! - We will die!
43:41This is unfair.
43:45So's life.
44:14No Lagaan if you win. But if you lose...
44:18We have to pay thrice the amount!
44:21And this Bhuvan here agreed to this impossible condition!
44:24What have you done, Bhuvan!?
44:26From double to triple!
44:28Total ruin!
44:29I told you there could be a great calamity, didn't I?
44:34Was there any choice? I ask you, did we have a choice?
44:40What else could we do?
44:42Isn't double Lagaan unjust?
44:45Are we strong enough to pay it? Tell me, can anyone here pay it?
44:51This isn't a calamity, Chief. It's an opportunity. A chance.
44:54I didn't accept out of bravado.
44:56You have to get burnt to save your home from fire.
45:04I know we are weak.
45:07But this way, we have hope.
45:09And I want to turn this hope into reality.
45:13This game is for our fields and harvest.
45:16Have you forgotten? If we win, we'll be happy for three years.
45:20Three years...
45:25Just think. No Lagaan for three years.
45:30You know what that means?
45:32It means our grain will be ours. Only ours.
45:36Not a grain to be given to anyone.
45:39The welfare of our children, our entire village, is in this.
45:43Our sweat will run as blood in our veins.
45:50Marvellous!
45:53Small eyes dreaming such big dreams!
45:56Yes, Arjan, I have a dream.
46:00And only those who dream can make them come true.
46:04Isar Kaka, three months is time enough.
46:08We can learn the game and defeat them too.
46:10Even a whole year's hitting with a stick won't teach you...
46:15...this Whitey game!
46:17I know the game isn't easy, Lakha.
46:19But, Chief, it's not impossible either.
46:23I want all of you to be with me.
46:25Nobody in the village will be with you in your madness!
46:29But, Ismayeel... - Enough is enough!
46:31We've only one hope now.
46:33We'll all go to Rajaji once again and beg him to save us.
47:06What are you thinking, Mai?
47:10About what happened today, son.
47:15I swear on you, Mai! I did what was right.
47:22I feel rage in my heart when I pay Lagaan to the Raja...
47:26And he gives it to those Whiteys with their dirty grasping hands!
47:30You tell me, Mai.
47:32Who ploughs this earth to sow the seeds?
47:35We do.
47:36Who waters it? We do.
47:38Why should we fill their coffers with our produce?
47:46The White Sahib said Lagaan may be cancelled for three years.
47:51How could I remain silent, Mai?
47:54Tell me, should I have stayed mute?
48:02What are you looking at, Mai?
48:08You talk just like your father.
48:13He was so spirited. And he spoke the truth.
48:25Well, go and sleep now.
48:29Don't let this burden your heart.
49:00Gauri! What are you doing here?
49:05I came to meet you.
49:10To... to tell you I am with you.
49:20I have faith... in you and in your courage.
49:37That's all I came to say.
50:17Bhuvan Bhaiyya, I lost my gilli. Make me another.
50:24What's this?
50:29I'll tell you.
51:17It's not at all difficult, Tipu.
51:20Whiteys play it wearing pants and call it Kirkut.
51:23And we wear loincloths and call it Gilli-Danda. Get it?
51:29Our fathers and grandfathers have been playing Gilli-Danda.
51:34Go over there...
51:37Back... further back.
51:39A little more... stop.
51:42Now catch the ball, okay.
51:45Catch it properly, Tipu.
51:49Come on, toss it to me. I'll show you.
51:55Saw that?
51:59It's very easy. Why, even you can learn it.
52:02This game is just like Gilli-Danda.
52:06Catch it now...
52:09Very good!
52:12What a catch! What a catch!
52:14Well done, Tipu. Isn't it easy?
52:18Now throw the ball. I'll show you how to hit it.
52:40Wow! That's some throw! You do that so well, Tipu!
52:46Hey, Gauri, pass it to me.
52:51Hey, Gauri! What're you doing? Go heat the water.
53:05Take it, Tipu.
53:07Now watch me this time. It's very easy.
53:21Damn! The stick slipped.
53:26Oh! My hands are sweaty.
53:31This should do the trick.
53:37Okay, Tipu, throw. And don't feel bad...
53:42But I'll give it a real hard whack this time.
53:44A real hard whack, ha!
54:29Wow!
54:42Hey, Bagha, throw the ball.
55:09Can I say something, father? - What?
55:13I feel that Bhuvan is doing the right thing.
55:17All right, all right. Go see if the water is boiling.
55:44That's it, Bagha. Hit it hard.
55:50Oh, very well done, Bagha!
56:11Bhuvan, I am also with you... like Bagha.
56:57Who are all these people, father?
56:59Ramprasad and Namdeo. Headmen ofTantpura and Bhind.
57:10But with so many people...!
57:17Who is Bhuvan here? - That's Bhuvan.
57:25There he is!
57:36Stop, Ramprasad.
57:39Think of the village code of honour.
57:41I've no quarrel with your village.
57:44I must teach that cocky Bhuvan of yours a lesson.
57:48Why should we suffer for what he's done?
57:51You big mouth! Who are you to decide for us?
57:54I have only done what is good for all of us.
57:57To hell with your do-gooding!
57:59You must beg the White Sahib's pardon.
58:02And as for your game, to hell with it! Understand?
58:04No? You are asking for trouble now.
58:07Be calm, Ramprasad. It'll be as you say.
58:11But, Chief... - Enough is enough!
58:13No more buts!
58:18We must go to our Rajaji.
58:25The issue now is not Lagaan or the game...
58:31...but of British honour.
58:34And Captain Russell's ego.
58:39Talk to the White Sahib once more, Your Highness.
58:42Forgive him, Your Highness. Bhuvan is naive, impulsive.
58:45He got carried away.
58:47It doesn't matter what he is.
58:50He has challenged the British on behalf of you all.
58:54He's ready to beg the British Sahib's pardon. All of us are.
58:59I'll agree to 100 whiplashes...
59:02But I won't beg pardon.
59:04What're you saying, Bhuvan!
59:05It's too late to beg pardon.
59:08Now pay for what you've done.
59:12But what shall we do, Highness?
59:16I suggest... you learn their game.
59:28Why're all these other guys standing around on the field?
59:32Like in Gilli-Danda, to catch the gilli... I mean the ball.
59:41That is out, sir.
59:47Why does he point his finger at the sky?
59:50That's what I'm trying to understand.
59:52He must be thinking of his Ma. She's sitting up there, huh?
59:59Bowl it on the offside.
1:00:27Excuse me. I might just take a walk.
1:00:29Of course, my dear.
1:00:49Damn! This bug's after me!
1:00:51Be quiet.
1:00:58Look! The White lady is coming here.
1:01:13Damn! It got in!
1:01:17Hell!! Out!
1:01:25Miss, what happened?
1:01:27Are these darkies bothering you?
1:01:29It's all right. They're farmers. I know them.
1:01:32Thank you. Carry on your game.
1:01:41I know what you were doing behind that tree.
1:01:44You were trying to learn the game.
1:01:47No, Memsahib. We were only trying to understand the game.
1:01:52Oh, I thought you were trying to learn the game.
1:01:57What's she saying, Bhuvan Bhaiyya?
1:02:00I think she is telling us to go.
1:02:03All right, Memsahib. We'll go.
1:02:05No, wait.
1:02:10Ram Singh!
1:02:17Yes, Memsahib. What can I do?
1:02:19Ram Singh, I want you to tell them...
1:02:21...that I would like to help them learn the game.
1:02:23Yes, Memsahib.
1:02:24Memsahib says she'll help you understand this...
1:02:36What if your brother learns of this, Memsahib!
1:02:39Ram Singh, can I trust you?
1:02:42Of course, Memsahib.
1:02:43No one should know about this.
1:02:48All right, Memsahib.
1:02:50No one will know.
1:02:55Memsahib says she wants to help you understand this game.
1:02:59Really?
1:03:03But why? Isn't she Feringhee too?
1:03:06The man wants to know...
1:03:08...why would you want to do this as you, too, are British.
1:03:14Tell him... because I know what happened to them is unfair...
1:03:18...and I want to give them a fair chance.
1:03:21Memsahib knows injustice has been done to you.
1:03:25That's why she wants to give you an equal chance.
1:03:29Thank you. We'd be very happy.
1:03:32He's happy to receive your help and he thanks you.
1:03:35Good.
1:03:36Wonderful!
1:03:39Tell him I'll meet him tomorrow.
1:03:42Same time but not here.
1:03:45And certainly not in their village.
1:03:47Some other place maybe?
1:03:50Memsahib will meet you tomorrow at the same time.
1:03:52But not here. Nor in the village. Have you any other place?
1:03:57I got it. Behind the hill near the village.
1:04:02You can meet him next to the hill, near the village.
1:04:07I know the place. - All right.
1:04:12What's his name?
1:04:14Memsahib wants to know your names.
1:04:16He's Guran, that's Bagha. This is Tipu.
1:04:21And I am Bhuvan.
1:04:25No, no! Bhuvan.
1:04:29Bhu... van.
1:04:33There! That one sprouted right, huh?
1:04:37My name is Elizabeth.
1:04:39Memsahib's name is Elizabeth.
1:04:41Ali... and what?
1:04:44My God! My tongue'll get into a twist saying it!
1:04:49It's a nice name... Whatever it may be.
1:04:57All right, Memsahib. We're going. Namaste.
1:05:17He'll never agree, Bhuvan.
1:05:25He will agree.
1:05:29Greetings, Bhabhi. - How're you, Bhuvan Bhaiyya?
1:05:32What're you up to, you imp?
1:05:35Have you eaten, Goli? - Yes.
1:05:39I didn't see you all day, Bhuvan Bhaiyya.
1:05:41What to do. I was busy preparing for the game.
1:05:46How's your game coming along?
1:05:50It's just the beginning. We're learning the ropes.
1:05:57Do you know everyone here is making fun of you?
1:06:00They say, "Some players Bhuvan has got, ha!"
1:06:03One's Bagha and the other, Guran!
1:06:05One can do nothing else but beat a drum.
1:06:07And the other keeps staring like a madman.
1:06:10Oh, no. It's not me, the others say all this.
1:06:15Is that so!
1:06:17We also have a White lady with us. She teaches us the game.
1:06:22A White lady?
1:06:25Don't tell me tall tales!
1:06:27What do you think? Ask them.
1:06:32Is this true, Gauri?
1:06:35Yes. There's some White lady.
1:06:40That means you will really play?
1:06:43Is there a choice?
1:06:46I don't have so much land like you that I can sell off a piece!
1:06:51What do you mean?
1:06:52Why should I sell my land? I'm not selling any land!
1:06:55Will your Granny pay the double Lagaan then?
1:07:05Well, I'd better be off.
1:07:12Hey, Bhuvan.
1:07:16Do you think I could be of any use?
1:07:18No! Your buffalo would be more useful!
1:07:20Silly, you will be the most useful of all!
1:07:23Really! How?
1:07:24You'll throw the ball the way you swing that slingshot of yours.
1:07:27What aim! It's deadly!
1:07:31Slingshot...
1:07:37Then... we won't have to pay Lagaan?
1:07:40Yes, Goli.
1:07:45We'll eat our bellyful.
1:07:50Will our dream ever come true?
1:07:54No, Bhuvan. It hurts too much to dream like that.
1:08:00Have faith, Goli.
1:08:03He who has truth and courage in his heart shall win in the end.
1:08:08Beautifully said!
1:08:16Every saint and seer has said
1:08:26He who has truth and courage in his heart
1:08:34It's he who wins at the end
1:08:58Come, yes, come on
1:09:04However long the path may be
1:09:07This body of yours shall not grow weary
1:09:12Come. Hear the call of the road
1:09:18Let not the road remain waiting for you
1:09:21You come along
1:09:24You are the king of this earth
1:09:27Know this for sure
1:09:29Go forth to meet hardship head on
1:09:32Don't ever accept defeat
1:09:35Listen, O my friend
1:09:38What's this fear you have?
1:09:41This earth is ours So is the sky
1:09:46Listen, O my friend What's this fear you have?
1:09:57You just come along
1:10:34Hear me, O my friend
1:10:40What's in your heart is in my heart too
1:10:45The dream you have is also my dream in life
1:10:56Yes, we go ahead with hope lit in our eyes
1:11:02May this light of our hope never go out
1:11:08May never a storm put out this light
1:11:16Listen, O my friend What's this fear you have?
1:11:21This earth is ours So is the sky
1:12:26Listen to this, my friend
1:12:32The balmy easterly breeze will join our song
1:12:35Pleasure will cast its intoxicating spell
1:12:38If we call out in unison...
1:12:40The season of flowers will also come
1:12:47Oh, yes
1:12:49Happy days shall be here again with no trace of sorrow
1:12:56Let's all together create a festival ofjoyous colour
1:13:01Tell me why you stay alone this way
1:13:08Listen, O my friend What's this fear you have?
1:13:13This earth is ours So is the sky
1:13:34Every saint has said
1:13:38As has every seer
1:13:44He who has truth and courage in his heart
1:13:52It's he who wins at the end
1:15:08The lady hasn't come yet.
1:15:10I am here!
1:15:11Not you, silly. We're waiting for the White lady.
1:15:14Not a lassie but a lady!
1:15:17She has come, Bhuvan Bhaiyya!
1:15:31Tell me this, Bhuvan.
1:15:33Why's that White witch ready to help you?
1:15:36Simple. She took a fancy to Bhuvan Bhaiyya.
1:15:39Is that so?
1:15:40Cheeky brat!
1:16:14Who are they?
1:16:16Oh, wow! You learnt our language very fast.
1:16:21Ram Singh taught me.
1:16:23Who are they?
1:16:25You already know Tipu, Bagha and Guran.
1:16:28This is Goli, he's Isar Kaka. And this is Gauri.
1:16:34We'll meet again.
1:16:39You should say, I'm glad to meet you.
1:16:43Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.
1:16:47I'm glad to meet you.
1:16:49We're glad to meet you too.
1:16:54So, Bhuvan, what do you know about the game?
1:16:57What?
1:16:59Memsahib is asking you what you know about the game.
1:17:03Oh, lots!
1:17:04There are six sticks. Three this side and three that side.
1:17:08Two fellows stand with planks before the sticks.
1:17:12One comes running near the sticks and throws a ball.
1:17:15The chap with the plank hits the ball hard with his plank...
1:17:18...and then everyone runs helter-skelter.
1:17:21One of them grabs the ball and gives it to the first guy.
1:17:24He runs again to throw the ball at the guy who twirls the plank.
1:17:29That's all. It goes on all day.
1:17:31Throw the ball, twirl the plank. Throw and twirl! Right?
1:17:35Memsahib, I can't translate all that.
1:17:39No need, Ram Singh. I understood most of that.
1:17:44He knows nothing.
1:17:48This is what a cricket field looks like.
1:17:51Suppose this is the playing field.
1:17:53And this is what a cricket pitch is.
1:17:55This is the strip on which the game is played.
1:17:58There are three main aspects to cricket:
1:18:00Batting, bowling and fielding.
1:18:03The game has three parts.
1:18:05Wielding the bat, bowling the ball and guarding the field.
1:18:09My God! Even our great uncles can't pronounce these things!
1:18:14What did he say?
1:18:16He said this language even his ancestors won't understand.
1:18:22All right, we better make it simpler.
1:18:24Cricket is played by two teams, say, yours and the English.
1:18:29Each team has eleven players. Five batters, five bowlers...
1:19:11Yes...
1:19:13What happened?
1:19:16What happened?
1:19:19Nothing.
1:19:20Memsahib, I think we should leave. It's getting late.
1:19:25This is enough for today.
1:19:31Let's begin with the Lord's name on our lips.
1:19:31Let's begin with the Lord's name on our lips.
1:19:34Catch it.
1:19:39Look. Try pouncing on the ball and catch. Don't let it fall.
1:19:43Bhuvan, the White lady said there must be eleven in a team.
1:19:48We are only five.
1:19:50Why only five? I'm here too.
1:19:52Whatever that White lady can do, so can I.
1:19:56All right, Gauri. We're six, not five.
1:19:59Isar Kaka, as you thought of our village and joined us...
1:20:02The others will also come and join.
1:20:05Or we will drag them in.
1:20:07Hey, Goli!
1:20:09Catch the ball.
1:20:31Who threw this ball? - Goli Chacha did.
1:20:36Goli, you jackass! I won't leave you today.
1:20:41There it starts again!
1:20:44I'll crack you open like an egg!
1:20:47Will you stop your infernal squabbling!
1:20:53Isar Kaka, don't you interfere. - Stop it, you fools!
1:21:03Gauri, our sixth player.
1:21:07Hey, Bhura.
1:21:10Oh, wow!
1:21:13You saw how a ball is to be caught, Isar Kaka?
1:21:16That was something to see! Like a bird diving for fish.
1:21:20Oh, that's how it's done, is it?
1:21:22Of course! Here, Bhura, do it again.
1:21:25Show them all, 'specially this Goli here.
1:21:28He's hopeless. Just doesn't know how to catch.
1:21:31All of you come here and watch carefully.
1:21:35Get ready, Bhura.
1:21:41Watch carefully.
1:21:43Saw that?
1:21:45Brilliant, Bhura! - That was something!
1:21:48But where did you learn it?
1:21:51I'll tell you.
1:21:53The ball comes straight. But hens! They run zigzag.
1:21:58To catch hens, you've got to be quick and agile...
1:22:01...like Bhura.
1:22:03Bhura will teach us all now, won't you, Bhura?
1:22:06I'll teach you... but...
1:22:09But what?
1:22:13What about my hens?
1:22:16Bhura, these hens of yours are a real pain!
1:22:27Hearing of the wager and cancellation of Lagaan...
1:22:30...all the senior officers were greatly concerned.
1:22:34Colonel Boyer, Major Warren and Major Cotton summoned...
1:22:38...Captain Russell to express their anger at his audacity.
1:22:50At ease, Captain.
1:22:52You know Major Cotton. That is Major Warren.
1:22:58Take a seat.
1:23:04Now, what is this we hear?
1:23:07That you have agreed to cancel the tax of the farmers in Champaner...
1:23:12...if they beat you in a game of cricket?
1:23:15Is this true?
1:23:18Yes, Colonel Boyer, sir, it is.
1:23:20What on earth do you think you're here for? To play games?
1:23:24Let me remind you...
1:23:26...that you are working here for Her Majesty, the queen.
1:23:29Your job is to ensure the smooth running of your province.
1:23:33Pardon me, sir, but that's exactly what I'm doing.
1:23:36I think we'll be the judge of that, Russell.
1:23:39We also understand that if you lose this so-called match...
1:23:44...you will cancel their taxes for the next three years.
1:23:48Not just Champaner but the entire province.
1:23:51But they won't win.
1:23:53You're missing the whole bloody point.
1:23:57Do you realize we could have on our hands a bloody situation...
1:24:02...of cricket matches all over the damn subcontinent to cancel the bloody tax!
1:24:07But there's one thing you don't know. If they lose...
1:24:10...which they will, they will have to pay the queen three times the tax.
1:24:16This is ridiculous! This officer wants to make the government...
1:24:21...into some kind of bookie with whom he can place his wagers.
1:24:25What would you have us do next? Race horses?
1:24:28This is the most preposterous idea I've ever heard of.
1:24:31Captain Russell, the British Empire cannot function according to...
1:24:35...the whims and fancies of officers like you.
1:24:38Now jolly well understand this.
1:24:41If you win, you will have had a narrow escape...
1:24:44...but if you lose, you will pay the taxes for Champaner...
1:24:49...and the entire province out of your own pocket.
1:24:52And then you'll be packed off to Central Africa.
1:24:55Is that clear?
1:24:57Yes, sir.
1:25:00That'll be all. You may go.
1:25:04It was against British pride to withdraw from this wager.
1:25:09And so, Captain Russell was warned...
1:25:12If he won the game, he'd have a narrow escape.
1:25:16But if he lost, he'd have to pay the triple tax...
1:25:19...of the entire province from his own pocket.
1:25:22Moreover...
1:25:24He'd be transferred to the Central African desert.
1:25:43Is that the way a soldier behaves?
1:25:45You're supposed to salute when a superior officer passes.
1:25:48I did, sir. - I didn't see it.
1:25:53That's better.
1:25:55I imagine your meeting did not quite go as expected, sir.
1:25:57Damn right.
1:25:58The senile old hats want to teach me how to run the show.
1:26:02They've lost their sense of adventure with age.
1:26:04What's wrong with a little fun along with the Lagaan?
1:26:08Is the match cancelled, sir? - No, of course not.
1:26:14Hey! How dare you hurt my horse!
1:26:20I'm going to destroy you people now!
1:26:25I'll take so much Lagaan you won't have a rag to your backs!
1:26:35You bloody slaves will remain crushed under our boots!
1:26:55However thick the sole, it wears out. Then nails will begin to prick, Sahib!
1:27:04Ram Singh!
1:27:07Yes, sir.
1:27:08Get him out of here before I kill him.
1:27:42Arjan. What happened?
1:27:43Bhuvan, I've been blind and stupid.
1:27:48I am with you now. Tell me in what way I can be of help.
1:27:53Very good! We're coming together to form a fist.
1:28:05No, Arjan! Not like that.
1:28:23Lakha, Goli was telling the truth.
1:28:26About what? - The White lady.
1:28:29So?
1:28:36We did wrong, Lakha. But it's still in our hands to put it right.
1:28:42We must support Bhuvan.
1:28:45What did you say? Have you gone crazy!
1:28:48Try to understand.
1:28:51Look!
1:28:54An English girl is helping us to save our bodies and souls.
1:28:59And we sit sulking! Shame on us!
1:29:08By Allah's command, we must be with him.
1:29:13Come with me. Come on.
1:29:15Have you gone senile, Ismayeel?
1:29:19Then get yourself a crutch and a shroud too!
1:29:24This Bhuvan of yours will never succeed.
1:29:33Ismayeel... he'll never take you into his team!
1:29:41Now catch this.
1:29:47Look, Bhuvan...
1:29:49It's not just your honour at stake, it's the whole village.
1:29:54I'm ashamed of all the things I said the other day.
1:29:59I swear by God, I am with you in this effort.
1:30:04It's the word of a man of prayer.
1:30:05What a beautiful thing to say!
1:30:07Ismayeel has raised our spirit, hasn't he.
1:30:10Who can stop us now!
1:30:27With a procession of elephants and horses...
1:30:29Raise a cry of victory to Lord Krishna.
1:30:50What are you looking at, Memsahib?
1:30:52These statues. Whose images are these?
1:30:57This is the temple of Radha and Krishna.
1:30:59They are statues of Lord Krishna and Radha.
1:31:02Today is Krishna's birthday. So the idols are decorated.
1:31:07It's very beautiful.
1:31:10Were they husband and wife?
1:31:13Oh, no, Memsahib.
1:31:14Krishna was married to Rukmini and Radha married Anay.
1:31:19But the deep love they had for each other has set an ideal.
1:31:25It's like the dewdrop on a lotus leaf...
1:31:31...not united nor separated.
1:31:35They have been worshipped together from aeons.
1:32:08Let's go.
1:32:28If Krishna were to meet a lovelorn Gopi in the grove
1:32:33And then smile and talk and even tease her
1:32:38How can Radha be not jealous!
1:32:40How can Radha be not jealous!
1:32:43For her body and heart are on fire
1:32:54Even if Krishna were to meet a lovelorn Gopi in the grove
1:32:58It's only the flower of Radha's love that blooms in his heart
1:33:03Then why is Radha jealous?
1:33:08With no thought or reason
1:33:11Why is Radha jealous?
1:33:42All the Gopis are but stars Radha is the moon
1:33:47Why is her faith then so half-hearted?
1:34:04Faithless Krishna is forever looking hither and thither
1:34:09Then how can poor Radha believe in herself.
1:34:14Gopis come and go but Radha queens over his heart
1:34:23Dawn and dusk by theJamuna's banks
1:34:25It's only Radha that Krishna calls out to
1:34:30If someone garlands Krishna with her entwined arms
1:34:34How can Radha be not jealous!
1:34:39Her body and heart are on fire
1:34:42How can Radha be not jealous?
1:35:29If Radha is enshrined in Krishna's heart
1:35:34Why doesn't he then tell her so?
1:35:39Love has its own language its own expression
1:35:43Let the eyes speak Such is Krishna's sweet wish
1:35:48These eyes of yours, O Krishna!
1:35:50They destroy the peace of many a Gopi's heart
1:35:58She meets your eyes and is lost in love
1:36:00Even if she be the fairest damsel
1:36:03If love for Krishna ripens in a Gopi's heart
1:36:08Why is Radha jealous?
1:36:13How can Radha be not jealous!
1:39:46Is the White Memsahib among them?
1:39:54There she is.
1:40:01You are not making a mistake, are you?
1:40:03Hang me on the cross if I've made a mistake.
1:40:06She is the one, I swear on my mother!
1:40:13So you too are in the team.
1:40:15No, Sahib. As if I'm crazy like Bhuvan...
1:40:18...to challenge the might of the government!
1:40:22Why are you telling me all this?
1:40:26Only the slaughtered beast knows the agony of the knife, Master.
1:40:31And I am being cut from inside.
1:40:34Just say that my victory lies in Bhuvan's defeat.
1:40:46What is your name?
1:40:48Your name?
1:40:50Lakha, Sahib.
1:40:52Lakha, you do this.
1:40:56You join Bhuvan's team.
1:41:00What are you saying, Sahib!
1:41:02You will be in Bhuvan's team. But you will work for me.
1:41:13I understand, Sahib.
1:41:27Yes, Andrew, what is it?
1:41:31So, Eliza, you've been sightseeing.
1:41:34How's the countryside?
1:41:38It's beautiful.
1:41:40The mountains, the woods, the cattle...
1:41:44And the villages?
1:41:48I didn't see any villages. - My foot, you didn't see any!
1:41:51You were with the villagers and what's-his-name teaching them cricket.
1:41:55You thought I wouldn't come to know?
1:41:57You have the audacity to go against your own brother?
1:42:00Listen to me carefully.
1:42:03You will not be meeting those villagers again...
1:42:05...because you will not be leaving...
1:42:07...the Cantonment. Is that understood?
1:42:28Bloody farmers.
1:42:54Why're you worried, child? Our game's improving day by day.
1:42:59Goli, you throw the ball with a lot of passion.
1:43:03Why do you just stand after hitting, Arjan?
1:43:07Take off and run.
1:43:14Bhuvan... Bhaiyya.
1:43:18Today when I see you all playing together...
1:43:22...I am aware of the wrong I did.
1:43:25I regret it very much.
1:43:29Can... Can I play with you?
1:43:40No... you can't play.
1:43:44Why?
1:43:45See the game and understand, Lakha.
1:43:47It's not like chopping wood, you know.
1:43:49It needs special skills. What do you say, huh?
1:43:53Yes, absolutely!
1:43:55Take Goli now.
1:43:56He whirls and twirls the ball like he swings his slingshot!
1:44:01And our Bhura here.
1:44:02He pounces on the ball the way he grabs at his runaway hens.
1:44:07Arjan has iron hands from all that hammering.
1:44:13That's right.
1:44:14As for Isar Kaka's hands...
1:44:15If money doesn't slip through them, what's a mere ball!
1:44:19And we do need a medicine man in a game of cuts and bruises.
1:44:25And who doesn't know our Bagha's strength!
1:44:28Tough as teak.
1:44:34As for this Guran...
1:44:35Passion runs like a fever through this possessed loony.
1:44:39Saturn is strong and Mars is mighty.
1:44:43And Ismayeel... as I remember...
1:44:47We have always been rivals in Gilli-Danda.
1:44:50And I?
1:44:51Oh, yes. Tipu.
1:44:52Our Tipu is so bright.
1:44:56Now, you tell me, Lakha. What are you good at?
1:45:00I... I can run very fast.
1:45:05So... you can run fast.
1:45:09Okay. Then do one thing.
1:45:12Let's see you run fast up the temple steps three times.
1:45:15Fast, I said. Can you do it?
1:45:23Okay, Lakha. Now run.
1:45:27Don't fall!
1:45:32Even I can run faster than him!
1:45:37Bhuvan, don't you ever take him. There's malice in his heart.
1:45:41No, Gauri. We need him.
1:45:45All that chopping of wood has made his hands tough and strong.
1:45:49He'll hit the ball really hard.
1:45:53Come on, run! Yes, run.
1:45:58He's at least trying, isn't he.
1:46:00Don't worry. I'll give you ointment for stiff legs!
1:46:03Hey, run up the steps!
1:46:07The fellow is back.
1:46:15So you saw, Bhuvan? What do you say?
1:46:19You run a tad slow, pal.
1:46:21You have to be faster.
1:46:23I'll improve, Bhuvan. I'll run every day.
1:46:26But take me into the team.
1:46:29I can't bear the thought of the village being dishonoured.
1:46:33What do you all have to say? - Give him a chance and see.
1:46:36Okay, let's try him out.
1:46:38Look, Lakha...
1:46:42Cheating at games has been a childhood habit of yours.
1:46:46What if you try it here too...
1:46:48What are you saying, Ismayeel! I'm sorry. Truly sorry, I swear.
1:46:53Okay, Lakha. You are in our team.
1:46:58But remember! It's a huge responsibility.
1:47:01For the Whiteys, it's only a game.
1:47:04But for us, it's our life!
1:47:09Yes, Bhuvan.
1:47:11I am with you.
1:48:01You will play with this ball from now.
1:48:05Oh, wow!
1:48:09Memsahib, your support has really lifted our spirits. Thank you.
1:48:15Goli will inaugurate this ball.
1:48:17Forget the ball now.
1:48:19You must all eat first.
1:48:21It's to fill our bellies that we must practise so hard, Gauri.
1:48:23We'll play first. Come on, all of you.
1:48:28Come here, Bhura.
1:48:36Ouch, he really made me run.
1:48:38Marvellous! That was some hit, Bhuvan.
1:48:56Hey, give me the ball.
1:49:17Who is Bhuvan here?
1:49:19I am Bhuvan.
1:49:23And you are...?
1:49:26I am Deva. Deva Singh Sodhi.
1:49:30I've come from Dhaulpur.
1:49:33I hear you have vowed to fight the British.
1:49:40Yes. But not with sticks and spears. With bat and ball.
1:49:44Whether with sticks and spears or bat and ball...
1:49:48...I want to be in every battle against the British.
1:49:53Let me lend a helping hand in this fight, Bhuvan.
1:49:57I have played this game before.
1:50:01When?
1:50:02I was in the British army.
1:50:06I couldn't bear it any more one day.
1:50:09I came away after slamming a final salute to those brutes.
1:50:16I hate the British!
1:50:21The Memsahib is with us, not against.
1:50:27What do you know about the game?
1:50:31Two things, Memsahib.
1:50:34When I throw the ball, shatter all three stumps.
1:50:39And when I hit the ball, smash it to pieces.
1:50:45That's good.
1:50:47We saw your bowling, Deva. Now take the bat.
1:50:52Goli, throw the ball.
1:50:55Goli, leave the ball. No play until you eat.
1:50:59Okay. All of you come and eat.
1:51:01Come, Deva.
1:51:03I'm getting late. I must go.
1:51:07Bhuvan, I have something to say to you.
1:51:10Yes, Memsahib.
1:51:11Bye, Gauri.
1:51:22Obstacle...!
1:51:26Looming obstacle!
1:51:31Bhuvan, it's difficult for me to get out of the Cantonment.
1:51:38I can't meet you every day now.
1:51:43Anyway, you now have the support of your people.
1:51:49But that is not because of me but for your own sake.
1:51:57Because you are a good man.
1:52:03And also a good friend.
1:52:07You know, I've had no friends since I was a child...
1:52:18...until I met you.
1:52:24I don't know if I should say it or not...
1:52:32But...
1:52:36Don't say it.
1:52:42In fact...
1:52:45...I'm falling in love with you.
1:52:48Memsahib, I don't understand English.
1:52:53I'm falling in love with you, Bhuvan.
1:53:18Hey, Jigni, where's Gauri? - She went off.
1:53:21Where? What are you glaring at me for?
1:53:28What the hell have I done now!
1:53:41Hey, Gauri.
1:53:45I've searched all over the village and you sit here!
1:53:49Why did you go off in a huff?
1:53:51My wish.
1:53:53What do you mean, "my wish"! You could've at least told me.
1:53:57How could I?
1:53:59As if you can ever spare time from that White lady!
1:54:01The moment she comes, you flutter around like a silly pigeon.
1:54:05You can't see anything else.
1:54:08And today, you completely forgot me as if I wasn't there!
1:54:13Try to understand, Gauri.
1:54:15Memsahib had something important to tell me.
1:54:17If it was so important, couldn't she say it right there?
1:54:20Where was the need to go off to be alone?
1:54:23You think I don't know which way the Ganges is flowing!
1:54:28Ah, poor me! How I feel the pain...
1:54:34...of the scorpion's sting!
1:54:38You are jealous!
1:54:40Me! Why should I be jealous! It's totally beneath me.
1:54:44You are jealous and I know of whom you are jealous!
1:54:49I will never meet you after this day!
1:54:52And don't you even try to talk to me!
1:54:58Hey, Gauri!
1:54:59There's only one house in the whole village...
1:55:01...with a Neem tree in the courtyard.
1:55:06There's also a big field beside it...
1:55:10And a pair of oxen, two cows and three goats too.
1:55:15And I know whose house that is, silly girl... it's mine!
1:55:21Listen to one more thing before you go. Mai also likes you!
1:55:36O my lovely lassie!
1:55:42Listen to what I have to say
1:55:47It is only you that I love
1:55:52What is my life without you!
1:55:58The kajal that darkens your eyes
1:56:02It's the cloud of dreams
1:56:04It's because of you that my heart is crazy
1:56:07O lassie, it's true
1:56:16O sweet laddie!
1:56:19These words come out of my heart
1:56:29It is only you that I love
1:56:35It's only you that I take for my beloved
1:56:41Your assuring hand stills my fluttering veil
1:56:44And there is turmoil in my heart
1:56:46This is the moment I shall never forget
1:56:50O my beloved!
1:57:26My heart it speaks a thousand words
1:57:28I feel eternal bliss
1:57:31The roses spout their scarlet mouths
1:57:34Like offering a kiss
1:57:37No drop of rain No glowing flame
1:57:39Has ever been so pure
1:57:42If being in love can feel like this
1:57:45Then I'm in love for sure
1:57:53What lay in my heart
1:57:59What lay hidden in my heart leapt to my lips today
1:58:04An arrow resting somewhere in my heart
1:58:07Has found its bow today
1:58:11Listen, O my love! For all our lives to come
1:58:14May we remain in this abode of love
1:58:17May our entwined hands never be parted
1:58:21I shall walk beside you in your chosen path
1:58:25True to your love
1:59:29Oh, I'm in love
1:59:35I am in love
1:59:40Yes, I'm in love
1:59:51Should someone ask
1:59:53I shall tell them what's happened to me
2:00:02My every limb is fragrant because you touched me
2:00:10Your fragrant body your flaming beauty
2:00:12You are the red rose my enchanted eyes see
2:00:16How can this allure not wake my desire
2:00:21Your beauty shines bright in youth's searing light
2:00:30Oh, I'm in love
2:01:04Yes, I'm in love
2:01:29Despite my warning, you continue to meet those bloody farmers!
2:01:32How dare you!
2:01:33I'm not going to tolerate your nonsense any more.
2:01:37You can damn well do what you like in London but not here.
2:01:39You will pack and leave for England by the next ship.
2:01:42Is that clear?
2:01:43Let me make some things clear to you, Andrew.
2:01:46Stop telling me what to do. I'm not a child.
2:01:49I'm not leaving Champaner and get this straight.
2:01:52I'll go to the village as and when I so wish.
2:01:59Tell me, Eliza.
2:02:02What's so special about them that you go against your own brother?
2:02:07There's nothing special about them.
2:02:10You're being unfair with your silly challenge.
2:02:12That's why I decided to help them.
2:02:15And you mark my words.
2:02:17They'll give you a tough fight.
2:02:30That's it, Yardley, line and length. Line and length.
2:02:36Good.
2:02:38How's that?
2:02:40One short, Burton. Full play.
2:02:59How was that?
2:03:02That is out, sir.
2:03:03That's the end of the day's play, gentlemen.
2:03:07I'm going to announce the batting order now.
2:03:10Smith and Burton will open...
2:03:12...with Smith to face...
2:03:15...followed by myself at number three.
2:03:18Followed by Brooks, Wesson...
2:03:22...North, Benson... - Sir.
2:03:27...Harrison, Flynn...
2:03:31...Willis, Yardley.
2:03:34Right.
2:03:38Who's to be in the team? - I think it should be Madhav.
2:03:42What's going on? Everyone wants to see you play.
2:03:48We haven't found our eleventh player.
2:03:50We'll fix it right away. Take Bhima.
2:03:54Hey, Bhima! - No, Chief.
2:03:56He's named after the mighty hero but has backache all the time.
2:04:00Then how about Kashi Nath? - Kashi Nath!
2:04:03If the old crock runs he'll split! Kashi this side and Nath that side.
2:04:08What's to be done then?
2:04:10We want a big hefty man, Chief. Let's wait and see.
2:04:13Deva, you throw the ball. Isar Kaka, you take the bat.
2:04:17All of you spread out.
2:04:24Deva, bowl slow to Isar Kaka. - All right.
2:04:52Hey, Kachra, throw the ball.
2:04:57Stop gaping and throw it, will you?
2:05:11Hey! What did you do?
2:05:13I didn't do anything. You told me to throw it.
2:05:17Come here.
2:05:20Come here, I said.
2:05:22I didn't do anything. You said throw and I threw the ball.
2:05:26Come here, all of you.
2:05:28Eliza Memsahib, just watch Kachra.
2:05:32Hey, Kachra, throw it again.
2:05:34I did no wrong. Bhuvan Bhaiyya asked me to throw and I did.
2:05:38Come on. Throw the ball.
2:05:40Stop. Not with the left hand. Throw with the right.
2:05:49See how it spins!
2:05:54Amazing. He's actually spinning the ball.
2:05:58We have found our eleventh player! Come, Kachra.
2:06:01Isar Kaka, you'll face him. Goli, give Kachra the ball.
2:06:05Lakha, go back. Come on, throw the ball.
2:06:11What's the matter? Why's everyone standing and staring?
2:06:18No, no! We will not play!
2:06:22What's happened?
2:06:25This damn Untouchable! He can't play with us. No way!
2:06:33That's right. We'll not mix with an Untouchable.
2:06:37It's unthinkable!
2:06:41I am not playing. - We too won't play.
2:06:47What are you doing? It's absolutely wrong!
2:06:51You are polluting the whole system.
2:06:56To fight the English is our duty but mixing a low-caste...
2:06:59...is like poisoning milk. I will not allow this!
2:07:01Kachra, you scum!
2:07:03Get lost.
2:07:10Oh, my God! Bhuvan touched an Untouchable!
2:07:21You brand people untouchable and pollute humanity itself.
2:07:26Chief, why are you choking the very air of our village...
2:07:29...with this caste division!
2:07:30Is it right to destroy and shatter hearts in the name of skin colour?
2:07:35Then why worship Ram who ate a tribal woman's half-eaten berries?
2:07:40The Lord who ferries us all across this sea of life...
2:07:42...was himself ferried by a low-caste boatman.
2:07:45You know all this and yet talk of untouchability!
2:07:48And you, Isar Kaka! You are a man of medicine.
2:07:51You check the ailing patient's pulse and treat him.
2:07:56Do your scriptures tell you not to treat an untouchable?
2:07:59And let him die?
2:08:02If that's so, it'll be the darkest blot on humanity. After this...
2:08:07...no one will regard a man of medicine as God's other form!
2:08:13Leave all that, Bhuvan. You want a big hefty player, don't you?
2:08:16This Kachra is a cripple!
2:08:19Your hands aren't deformed, right?
2:08:21It's by God's grace, Lakha, that you can say all this.
2:08:24But the man you call crippled will be our greatest strength. Wait and see.
2:08:29This seemingly lifeless hand will give us victory.
2:08:33Let me remind all of you of one thing.
2:08:36This is not a game we are playing for fun or entertainment.
2:08:42This is a battle we must win!
2:08:45Our only goal is liberation from Lagaan and welfare of our village.
2:08:49And for that, I will not bow before anyone till my last breath!
2:08:52Whether you support me or not, Kachra will play.
2:09:11Bhuvan, my son...
2:09:13Shame can't even enter eyes that are fully opened.
2:09:21I agree with Isar Bhai. What you said was right, Bhuvan.
2:09:33Kachra will play with us.
2:11:55Again and again, yes Say this, my friend
2:12:00May victory be ours! Defeat, their lot
2:12:05Again and again, yes Say this, my friend
2:12:10May victory be ours! Defeat, their lot
2:12:15Let no one win against us
2:12:18Let's walk ahead Let's walk ahead
2:12:20All challengers will bite the dust
2:12:23Let's walk ahead
2:12:25Even if it is pitch-dark
2:12:28Let's walk ahead Let's walk ahead
2:12:30Let no one stay back on the road
2:12:33Let's walk ahead
2:12:35If a finger rises break it shall
2:12:40When all five join the fist is formed!
2:12:45Let our unity grow Come on, walk ahead
2:12:50However seductive the lures cast before you
2:12:53Walk ahead
2:12:55No one can ever win against us
2:12:58Let's walk ahead Let's walk ahead
2:13:00All challengers will bite the dust
2:13:03So walk ahead
2:13:42Let no one stop you obstruct you
2:13:45Break all barriers
2:13:48What have you ever got being weak and powerless
2:13:53Never will we suffer again
2:13:55Such will be our play the enemy will lose
2:13:59We will now take the path of courage
2:14:04We will shake up this earth
2:14:07We will show everyone
2:14:09Who is king who the slave
2:14:14We shall show this overwhelmed world
2:14:19What we are worth
2:14:24Again and again, yes Say this, my friend
2:14:29Victory will be ours Defeat, their lot
2:14:34Now No fear will enter our hearts
2:14:37Let's walk ahead Let's walk ahead
2:14:39Every shackle will now break open
2:14:42Let's walk ahead
2:15:41Keep walking Don't ever falter
2:15:44You are the journeyman of the road
2:15:47The snake of tiredness should never bite you
2:15:52He that rules you is a tyrant
2:15:55He that has destroyed us
2:15:58His home is in the west
2:16:00We shall make sure he will not remain
2:16:03We will shake up this earth
2:16:06We will show everyone
2:16:08Who is king who the slave
2:16:13We shall show this overwhelmed world
2:16:18What we are worth
2:16:23What has to happen will happen
2:16:26Let's walk ahead Let's walk ahead
2:16:28Now No one will bow his head
2:16:30Let's walk ahead
2:17:56And then, the historic day dawned when the first rays of the sun...
2:18:02...fell on the cricket field.
2:18:59Good morning, Captain Russell. - Good morning, Colonel Boyer.
2:19:02This way. - Thank you.
2:19:12Morning, Miss Russell. - Miss Russell.
2:19:17Are you feeling confident, Captain? - Yes, sir.
2:19:21Decent crowd.
2:19:51Hail Hanuman, The Mighty Ape God!
2:20:25Long live Your Highness.
2:20:29Smash the Feringhees. Beat them to pulp.
2:20:36Crush Captain Russell's arrogance.
2:20:40Long live... - Your Highness.
2:20:47Things are certainly beginning to hot up a bit, aren't they?
2:20:50Yes.
2:20:51Both the teams will bat once.
2:20:55The game will be played over three days.
2:20:58Which team bats first...
2:21:02...will be decided by the toss of a coin.
2:21:06For this, both the teams must enter the field.
2:21:40To ensure fair play...
2:21:43...senior officials had invited neutral umpires from Kanpur.
2:21:49Will you call, Captain Russell?
2:21:51Heads, sir.
2:21:57Heads. Your call.
2:22:00We will bat.
2:22:02Good luck, Captain. - Thank you, sir.
2:22:07Good luck, young man.
2:22:22The batting team that scores more runs wins the game.
2:22:28Opening the batting for the English team...
2:22:33...are Lt. Smith and Lt. Burton.
2:23:18What are they doing?
2:23:39Come here.
2:23:43What are you all doing?
2:23:45All running at the same time!
2:23:47You run and grab the ball only if it comes to you. Got it?
2:23:53Now go.
2:24:02Well done, Bhura!
2:24:19The ball crosses the boundary and the English get four more runs.
2:24:30No ball.
2:24:40No ball.
2:24:43Steady, Smith, steady.
2:24:46Deva crossed the line before he bowled the ball.
2:24:49So the English batsman has not been given out.
2:24:52Instead, he got an extra run.
2:24:58Damn! He made me run!
2:25:06Bat's over.
2:25:08With this ball, Deva's over is finished.
2:25:12And eight runs were made.
2:25:15Now, a new bowler will bowl the ball.
2:25:23The ball will spin. Grab the catch.
2:25:26Okay.
2:25:39Spin it!
2:25:46Good shot, Burton.
2:26:14Why isn't the ball spinning! - Don't know.
2:26:36Catch it, Lakha!
2:27:01Kachra isn't spinning the ball at all today.
2:27:04He has to be taken off.
2:27:06Deva, you better get your breath back.
2:27:10Bhuvan, you bowl. - Okay.
2:27:27Aim and hit!
2:27:36The first English batsman is out!
2:27:53Rather looking forward to this.
2:27:55Well done, Smith. - Yes, sir.
2:27:58Coming to bat now...
2:28:00...is the English captain, Captain Russell.
2:28:38Sharp fielding there.
2:28:42Well done.
2:28:43For the loss of one wicket...
2:28:46...they have scored 66 runs so far.
2:28:48Shatter the sticks, Goli. - Of course.
2:28:52Will throw with the right arm and from this side.
2:28:55Right arm, over the wicket.
2:29:09Very good, Goli.
2:29:13Sir, did you see that? - Yes, I did.
2:29:17That's excellent, Goli!
2:29:28This is ridiculous.
2:29:30Sir, he may not be allowed to bowl the ball like this. It's improper.
2:29:34What's the matter?
2:29:35He can't bowl like this. - Why not?
2:29:43What's wrong, Sahib?
2:29:48Have you ever seen such an action, sir?
2:29:51Excuse me, sir. Is something the matter?
2:29:53You see we have a problem here.
2:29:55This man swings his arm more than once before releasing the ball.
2:29:58He'll have to bowl conventionally.
2:30:01Sir, I think you're being unfair to the home team.
2:30:04Unfair! How can you say that?
2:30:07It's only fair they ask this man to bowl properly.
2:30:09There is no rule written anywhere about such an action, is there?
2:30:15Well, there's nothing written about it that I can recall.
2:30:20There's nothing written about this rule.
2:30:23Well, we better write some rules, Captain...
2:30:25...which, unfortunately, can happen only after this match.
2:30:29Till then, let's get on with the match.
2:30:31Okay. He can bowl.
2:30:39To kill a tiger or cheetah! Bah! That's nothing!
2:30:42Defeat the tyrants.
2:30:44Thrash the Feringhees! Beat them! Defeat them!
2:30:47Come on! Throw the ball, break the stick!
2:30:59For goodness' sake.
2:31:17Brooks, look out for his arm action. It's damn ridiculous.
2:31:21Dangerous too.
2:31:27The next batsman is Lt. Brooks.
2:31:33Two, please.
2:31:37Thank you.
2:31:51Brooks. - Sir.
2:31:57Just before he releases the ball, he makes a grunting noise.
2:32:01Something like this.
2:32:04Listen for it. - Right, sir. Thank you.
2:32:28Good timing.
2:32:40Losing two wickets...
2:32:42...they have made 132 runs.
2:32:44Capt Russell is on 38 and Lt. Brooks on 32.
2:32:53Catch it, Bagha!
2:33:29I don't think W.G. Grace could have made such confident strokes.
2:33:33This could be.
2:33:43What are you doing, Lakha!
2:33:46I missed it, Kaka.
2:33:49How could you miss, son! Where's your concentration?
2:33:53We have to win. We must win this game.
2:33:56Please concentrate.
2:33:57Go on, Bhuvan. Bowl.
2:34:18The end of the day's play, gentlemen.
2:34:22The English team has scored...
2:34:25...182 runs for 2 wickets.
2:34:28And with this, we come to the end of the first day's play.
2:34:33Our game wasn't good today.
2:34:36What were you up to, Lakha?
2:34:39You played so well during practice.
2:34:42Practice was different. We were playing among ourselves.
2:34:46But why're you blaming only me?
2:34:49You all went gaga over Kachra. Saw the cripple's miracle today?
2:34:54I told you before...
2:34:55At least he tried. You weren't even trying!
2:34:59What did he do with all that trying? - Shut up, Lakha.
2:35:23That night, Elizabeth's eye fell on a shadowy figure.
2:35:29She tried to investigate.
2:35:32My being in the team was of some help at least.
2:35:34She was amazed to see Lakha there.
2:35:46She went to the village at once and informed Bhuvan about Lakha.
2:35:59I... I...
2:36:03...did wrong.
2:36:08What I did was very wrong.
2:36:14Forgive me.
2:36:16Lakha, a snake like you must be crushed!
2:36:50Stop!
2:36:57I'm telling you again, stop.
2:36:59Drag him out, Bhuvan. - We'll kill him!
2:37:06Calm down. All of you calm down.
2:37:08I'll talk to him.
2:37:11Lakha, open the door!
2:37:14No, Bhuvan. I won't open the door. They will kill me!
2:37:19I won't open it.
2:37:20Nobody will do anything, Lakha.
2:37:23How long will you stay inside? They'll not budge from here.
2:37:27Open the door and let me in.
2:37:39I made a mistake, Bhuvan. Forgive me.
2:37:50Why did you do it, Lakha?
2:37:56I lost my mind, Bhuvan.
2:38:02Because...
2:38:06...I was in love with Gauri.
2:38:10I wanted to have her at any cost.
2:38:16But she loves you. And I hated you for that.
2:38:22I hated you for that!
2:38:24I wanted you to lose.
2:38:26I wanted to disgrace you in Gauri's eyes...
2:38:28...and the whole village as well.
2:38:33For that, you risked the life of the whole village.
2:38:37You staked their future?
2:38:41Do you know what you have done, Lakha?
2:38:45Save me, Bhuvan! Save me!
2:38:50Give me a chance to repent. Just one chance!
2:38:55I swear on my mother! I'll do whatever you say.
2:38:57But give me just one chance to repent.
2:39:03I can give you one chance.
2:39:07But you must prove your loyalty.
2:39:11If you can't, you will not find refuge even here!
2:39:29They begin the second day's play with the score at 182.
2:39:35Hail the Great Guru's warriors! Hail the Great Guru's victory!
2:39:56You gladden our hearts! Live long!
2:40:20The next batsman is Lt. Wesson.
2:40:59Nice shot!
2:41:06Rather enjoyable knock. - Lovely to watch.
2:41:19Oh, great shot, sir. Well played. Let's have some more of those.
2:41:24Congratulations, Wesson.
2:41:27And that's lunch, gentlemen.
2:41:34271 to 3 is an extremely good score, Captain.
2:41:37Yes, I think we'll be looking at at least 600.
2:41:40Something to please the crowd.
2:41:43Steady.
2:41:54Bhuvan, if they continue to bat like this...
2:42:04You'll have to do something.
2:42:08Yes, Memsahib.
2:42:11All the bowlers have tried.
2:42:17I don't know what to do.
2:42:48Over.
2:43:00Oh! You are doing it.
2:43:04Come here. Come on.
2:43:09What's this! He's given him the ball again!
2:43:12I can't understand.
2:43:14Crazy chap!
2:43:41Goodness gracious, the ball turned almost three feet.
2:44:02Catch it, Bhura!
2:44:27Gentlemen, he's on a hat trick.
2:44:49He's done it, by George.
2:45:11From 295 for 3, they are now 295 for 6!
2:45:16Hail Almighty Ape! Crack the enemy's back!
2:45:44Good shot, Harrison. Good shot.
2:45:50Oh! So you step out and hit, do you! Try coming out now!
2:46:03Go back! Go back home! With your tail between your legs!
2:46:08You Tea drinkers! Fleabags! Boot wearers!
2:46:29Grab it, Bagha!
2:46:34Catch, Bagha! Catch!
2:46:36Catch it, Bagha.
2:46:51You caught it!
2:47:17The score is 320 and only 2 batsmen left!
2:47:33Arjan, don't drop it!
2:47:39Caught it!
2:48:39With the last batsman out...
2:48:42...the English innings is over.
2:48:46The Champaner team will have to make 323 runs to win.
2:48:53They collapsed like a house of cards.
2:48:55That leaves them a huge mountain to climb.
2:48:58Absolutely, Major Cotton.
2:49:00Come on, brothers!
2:49:02Get rid of Lagaan!
2:49:04Come on, brothers! - Get rid of Lagaan!
2:49:08Come on, brothers! - Get rid of Lagaan!
2:49:12That was simply great!
2:49:16Kachra's magic worked. The Whiteys just crumbled.
2:49:20I felt Bhuvan was making a big mistake giving you the ball.
2:49:25But he bowled well.
2:49:26Brilliantly.
2:49:27The foolish Feringhees only looked in front.
2:49:29And the ball whizzed past their butts and knocked the bails off!
2:49:34All this joking is fine.
2:49:36But you have to think of how you will make these 323 runs.
2:49:41It'll be done, Chief.
2:49:43Listen, all of you.
2:49:45Ismayeel, Lakha, Bagha, Deva and Arjan...
2:49:50We six together are responsible for getting these 323 runs.
2:49:54The others are weak in batting.
2:49:57And so, all six of us must bat cautiously and calmly.
2:50:03Deva, you and I will open the batting.
2:50:07And we should both stay put firmly till end of play today.
2:50:12Okay, brother.
2:51:14Careful, Bhuvan!
2:51:17Steady, Bhuvan, steady.
2:51:20What're you doing, Bhuvan! Get a hold of yourself.
2:52:25The people of the village get four more runs with this.
2:52:42All right, Ram Singh. All right.
2:52:53Come on, brothers! - Get rid of Lagaan!
2:53:10Yardley!
2:53:25Well done, Smith!
2:53:29Oh, how could this happen!
2:53:31Don't forget the crease.
2:53:35Yes, very bad luck.
2:53:49Who is next? Oh, it's Arjan.
2:53:52Just forget how that arrogant White humiliated you.
2:53:56Just stay there till the evening.
2:53:58Be careful.
2:54:17Well done!
2:54:33Be careful, Arjan.
2:54:44You won't have a morsel to eat. Nor a piece of cloth to wear.
2:54:51They are trying to needle you, Arjan. Stay calm.
2:54:56Get that darkie, Smith.
2:54:59You won't have a morsel to eat. Nor a piece of cloth to wear.
2:55:18We will take double and triple Lagaan from you!
2:55:22They are trying to provoke you, Arjan. Stay calm.
2:55:26You damn slaves will remain crushed under our boots!
2:55:31Careful, Arjan. Stay calm!
2:55:40Catch it, North, catch it!
2:55:45Yes!
2:55:46Well done. That's the way.
2:56:00Well bowled, Smith.
2:56:26Yardley...
2:56:29knock his bloody head off.
2:56:50Yardley.
2:57:05Nice bit of sport, Yardley.
2:57:07That was a nasty one.
2:58:16My God, he's got some strength in those arms.
2:58:20Bagha, please be careful!
2:58:22Don't get carried away.
2:58:31Oh, well bowled.
2:58:52Go, my son.
2:59:00Come again, Yardley.
2:59:08Oh, God.
2:59:11What happened!
2:59:14Hurry!
2:59:15That must have hurt.
2:59:20Take him away... easy.
2:59:23Careful.
2:59:30Are you badly hurt? - Yes.
2:59:46How's that?
2:59:53Thank God...
2:59:55That was close.
2:59:57It certainly was, Your Highness.
2:59:59End of day's play.
3:00:01Great bowling, Yardley. Well bowled.
3:00:04We've got them on the run.
3:01:01We've lost five of our best batsmen.
3:01:07What'll we do now?
3:01:26O Saviour!
3:01:32O Pure of Essence Our Dearly Beloved
3:02:01O Saviour!
3:02:04O Pure of Essence Our Dearly Beloved
3:02:07We have no one but You
3:02:15Ease our troubles O Lord
3:02:21We have no one but You
3:02:30You alone are our sole support
3:02:36You alone are our protector
3:02:41We have no one but You
3:02:53We have no one but You
3:03:13You have filled the moon with light
3:03:18The sun shines only because of You
3:03:30Your splendour lights the sky with stars
3:03:42O Lord
3:03:44If not You, who will preserve this life!
3:03:54O Saviour! O Pure of Essence! Our Dearly Beloved
3:03:59We have no one but You
3:04:34If You'd heed, O Lord we make this plea
3:04:43To those who suffer grant this courage
3:04:46May not hardship ever defeat them
3:04:48To the weak give Your protection
3:04:51So they may live in peace
3:04:54To devotion give strength
3:05:06You are the Lord of all universe
3:05:11Listen to this plea
3:05:17When the path is full of darkness
3:05:23Give us the boon of light
3:05:30O Saviour!
3:05:32O Pure of Essence Our Dearly Beloved
3:05:35We have no one but You
3:05:41Ease our troubles O Lord
3:05:47We have no one but You
3:06:21O Saviour!
3:06:50Bhuvan has completed 50 runs!
3:06:58That must be the first 50 in the history of Indian village cricket.
3:07:06Come on, run!
3:07:09And with this, Isar Kaka completes ten runs.
3:07:14Very good! - Well done!
3:07:45Hold it up, Wesson. Concentrate, field.
3:07:55One more!
3:08:23I lost, Bhuvan.
3:08:28I couldn't run.
3:08:31Couldn't run...
3:08:35It was my fault.
3:08:40I couldn't run.
3:08:49"Tormentors of the weak! Beware! You will pay."
3:08:52"The sighs of the oppressed shall turn iron to ashes!"
3:08:55Keep the flag flying, Guran.
3:09:05My goodness. - Coming from the jungle?
3:09:11Stand back. Make way. - Don't get too close, Smithy.
3:09:15Watch yourself.
3:09:17What on earth is he doing?
3:09:19This way, sir.
3:09:24What an extraordinary stance. It looks as if he's riding a horse.
3:09:40Well struck, sir.
3:09:42Umpire, he can't do that. It's not cricket.
3:09:46Hit the ball only once, Guran.
3:09:50Okay.
3:09:51Hail Hanuman, The Almighty Ape!
3:09:53That's called "kicking the horse." - Indeed.
3:09:58Run! - Crack the enemy's back!
3:10:06He is coming, Bhuvan! Sock it to him!
3:10:12Keep it up!
3:10:23Come on, Feringhee!
3:10:40Rot in hell!
3:10:46One more, Guran!
3:10:47I'll whack so hard you'll whine for your Ma!
3:10:56So what does your Ma say, eh?
3:11:04Hail Hanuman!
3:11:12Why're you shouting?
3:11:14Yes!
3:11:17Damn and blast you!
3:11:32Goli, my son. Stay put.
3:11:35Only Bhura and Kachra are left after you.
3:11:38Father, play steady.
3:11:39Hit hard, Goli. - Do us proud.
3:11:43Don't scare him, idiots! Just stay there.
3:11:49Steady, Goli.
3:11:52Come on, Willis, he's nervous.
3:12:13Out the first ball!
3:12:15Wait, Bhura. I'll go. - In this condition?
3:12:24Interesting.
3:12:28They're giving you a hat trick, Willis.
3:12:32But how will you run, Ismayeel?
3:12:35The umpires have decided to let another player run for Ismayeel.
3:12:43When I call you, run. Stay behind the line, understand?
3:12:48Good. Go stand there. But inside the line!
3:12:55Thank God you are here, Ismayeel.
3:13:00We have got to make the rest of the runs. There's no one left.
3:13:05Don't worry, Bhuvan.
3:13:07By Allah's grace, you'll see victory will be ours.
3:13:10We must not lose heart, that's all.
3:13:22Look at me, Tipu.
3:13:26Run, Tipu.
3:13:30Stop. Stay behind the line.
3:13:40Run, Tipu, run.
3:13:43Stop. - Well done, lad.
3:14:21Catch it!
3:14:49Was it two or three? - Three.
3:14:54The last hour of play is left now.
3:14:5720 overs will be bowled during this time.
3:15:31Ismayeel has hit a six!
3:16:01Well played, young man.
3:16:03And with this six, Bhuvan completes a century!
3:16:09I must say this country has a brave future in this game.
3:16:24And that's Ismayeel's grand 50!
3:16:40Sir, how many runs must we make to win?
3:16:43You have to make 30 runs in 18 balls.
3:16:4630 in 18?
3:17:19How's that, umpire?
3:17:23Well done, Willis!
3:17:24What a shame!
3:17:29Well done. - Good thinking, sir.
3:17:30Well done. - Thank you very much.
3:17:36Run along. Your mother's waiting.
3:17:58No matter, Tipu.
3:18:04You played very well. Good!
3:18:20Father, why is Tipu coming back?
3:18:26And they have to make 28 runs in 16 balls.
3:18:33Stay put at one end, Bhura.
3:18:35Don't let your wicket fall. I'll make the runs. Good.
3:18:40This one's petrified, Willis. Get him on strike.
3:18:42Come on, Willis. Two more to go.
3:18:59Willis, hold it! Smith, third man!
3:19:02Flynn, under it!
3:19:06Come on, Willis! Keep it tight, men!
3:19:26You're not asleep, man! What are you doing? Get him!
3:19:51That was marvellous!
3:19:57Willis, keep it tight. Pitch it up, man.
3:19:59The ball is old, sir. - Just do it!
3:20:01This is the last ball of the over, Bhura. We must take a single.
3:20:07Only one run, not two!
3:20:11Gentlemen, step up. Stop the single.
3:20:15I want this man on strike. Step up!
3:20:35Good shot. That's an over.
3:20:37This guy has turned it into four runs!
3:20:41You have to bat now, Bhura.
3:20:45Steady. Don't let your wicket fall.
3:20:50Because of Captain Russell's cleverness...
3:20:53...Bhuvan couldn't take a single.
3:20:55Bhura has to bat now.
3:20:58Champaner now needs 12 runs from 12 balls.
3:21:04Keep it tight, Smith. Get him on strike.
3:21:07Concentrate, gentlemen, concentrate!
3:21:24Go back, Bhura!
3:21:40Well done, sir. One more, sir. - One more to go.
3:21:54Save us, Bhuvan my brother. It's all in your hands now.
3:22:24You did the right thing.
3:22:29Go, Kachra. You have to give Bhuvan support now.
3:22:35Just stay put, Kachra. - Don't be afraid.
3:22:38Say a prayer and go.
3:22:40All right, gentlemen. We remember this chap, don't we?
3:22:42Yes, we do.
3:22:47Oh, dear. Last man in and he's severely disabled.
3:22:54Now, only the last batsman is left.
3:22:56And they need to make 12 runs from 11 balls.
3:22:59Wesson, short legs. Stay in closer. - Right, sir.
3:23:01Wesson, short legs. Stay in closer. - Right, sir.
3:23:03Playing, field! - North!
3:23:05Come on, Smith.
3:23:18And again.
3:23:23Come on, Smith, he's a sitting duck.
3:23:26Be careful, Kachra.
3:23:37You aren't hurt, are you?
3:23:52Good delivery.
3:24:03Don't be afraid.
3:24:05Come on, Smith! Take him, man.
3:24:07Just touch and run!
3:24:19Just once!
3:24:22Run!
3:24:28Well done, Kachra! Stop.
3:24:37Kachra, this is the last ball. We must take only one run.
3:24:41Be ready.
3:24:42Gentlemen, close in, move in. Save the one. Keep him this end.
3:25:05Run, Kachra!
3:25:15Made it!
3:25:18Well done!
3:25:23Six balls left and ten runs to score for victory.
3:25:28Gentlemen, I want everybody to keep on their toes.
3:25:32Be alert.
3:25:33Save the twos. Save the boundaries.
3:25:36But if they take the single, let them have it.
3:25:39Let the cripple take the strike.
3:25:53Yardley, I'm depending on you.
3:25:56Don't give away anything. Just get him.
3:26:02Gentlemen!
3:26:50Well done, Yardley. That won't do us any harm.
3:26:54Are you all right, Bhuvan Bhaiyya?
3:27:10Keep it up.
3:27:29Run! Take two.
3:27:36Stop! Go back!
3:27:46Kachra, we have to take just one run.
3:27:50Touch and run!
3:27:51All right, gentlemen, close in. Close in.
3:27:54Come on, you men in the field. Come on.
3:28:06Good bowling, Yardley.
3:28:11We have to take a run from this ball.
3:28:14Only the last two balls are left, understand?
3:28:17We have to take the run!
3:28:21Come on, Yardley. Dig one in, Yardley.
3:28:26Take the run, Kachra.
3:28:29We have to take one run!
3:28:33Everybody close in. Stop the single.
3:28:36Close in!
3:28:39Come on, Kachra. Strike the ball.
3:28:54Only the last ball left...
3:29:12Kachra, this is the last ball of the game.
3:29:17And we need five runs to win.
3:29:23You will have to lift the ball over the boundary.
3:29:29Or else... triple Lagaan.
3:29:32All our lives are in your hands, Kachra.
3:29:36Do something!
3:29:40Do something.
3:29:48Come on, Yardley. Just once more.
3:29:54Field.
3:30:00Hit it, Kachra!
3:30:03Hit!
3:30:04Hit!
3:30:08Hit it, Kachra.
3:30:12Hit it, my son.
3:30:13Lift it, Kachra.
3:30:31No ball.
3:30:34No ball!
3:30:37What? - No ball.
3:30:43You're kidding me.
3:30:44"No ball"? What do you mean, "No ball"?
3:30:47His foot was over the line.
3:30:50Yardley?
3:30:53Are you quite certain, umpire?
3:30:55I am not discussing it any further, sir.
3:30:57I suggest we get on with the game.
3:31:02Very well.
3:31:04Gentlemen, we have one more ball. Back to your positions.
3:31:08Because of their no-ball, we have got one more ball!
3:31:26We can't afford any mistakes this time.
3:31:32Gentlemen, back to the boundary.
3:31:37Everybody back to the boundaries. Back!
3:31:55If you lose, you will pay...
3:31:57...triple Lagaan.
3:32:00Do you accept?
3:32:05It's this impossible bet...
3:32:07...that Bhuvan has accepted!
3:32:09What have you done?
3:32:10Back! Back! Back!
3:32:14I had told you...
3:32:15...we can face a great calamity.
3:32:17Didn't I say so?
3:32:28You talk just like your father.
3:32:31He was so spirited...
3:32:33...spoke the truth.
3:32:44I have faith in you...
3:32:46...and in your courage.
3:33:07Catch it, sir!
3:33:13Catch it, sir!
3:33:19Please don't catch it!
3:33:25Yeah!
3:33:56We have won!!
3:34:04He's done it!
3:34:24Completely unbelievable.
3:36:51Unable to bear this humiliation, the British government...
3:36:56...decided to shut down the Champaner Cantonment.
3:37:00"By the power vested in me by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria...
3:37:04...I hereby declare that after much deliberation on the matter...
3:37:08...the Cantonment at Champaner be dissolved.
3:37:12And the officers and troops of the erstwhile Cantonment...
3:37:15...shall relocate and re-establish themselves...
3:37:17...in the princely state of Raj Gardh with immediate effect.
3:37:22Signed, Colonel J.R. Boyer, Commanding Officer, Central Provinces."
3:37:30I did not believe I'd live to see this day.
3:38:14Be happy, my daughter. Live long.
3:38:50Memsahib, we will never forget all that you have done for us.
3:39:01I won't either.
3:39:27And so, not just Champaner but all the villages in the province...
3:39:31...did not have to pay Lagaan for three years.
3:39:35Captain Russell had to pay for his capricious behaviour.
3:39:39Besides having to pay triple Lagaan, he was transferred...
3:39:42...to the Central African desert.
3:39:47Elizabeth returned to England holding Bhuvan in her heart.
3:39:52She did not marry and remained Bhuvan's Radha all her life.
3:39:58Bhuvan and Gauri had a splendid wedding.
3:40:01Raja Puran Singh himself came to bless the newly-weds...
3:40:04...enhancing Champaner's status even more.
3:40:08Even after this historic victory...
3:40:11...Bhuvan's name was lost somewhere in the pages of history.
