Lagaan on DVD, 2/12/05, 2/14/05

There aren't many politcal movies about taxes, there's aren't many sports movies on cricket and there sure aren't many Bollywood movies that aren't romantic musicals. This is different alright. A movie on taxes, cricket and Indian nationalism is one unusual subject for a movie. Of course, the amazing thing is that it works in spite of the heavyhanded message of tolerance and the songs and dancing. Check this one out if just to check out one very handsome man and learn the rules to cricket at the same time.
