Introduction:-
15 August 2018, In this day at Department of English MKBU, we have a film screening of Lagaan. This movie based on nationalism but now we try to look and understand deeply the structure, metaphor and different way to interpret and connect with human aspects.
Lagaan movie shows the different points and aspects :
Indianness.
Post colonialism.
Patriarchy.
Religion.
Nationalism.
Cricket as a metaphor.
Subaltern.
Rural India.
Feminism.
Team work and leadership.
Goodness of Britishers.
Love triangle.
Language.
Dance style.
Indianness :~
Indianess is the energy which gives to the people strength. In the movie we see many things happens with Indianness.
Yoga : Yoga is the symbol of Indianness. Movie shows Bhuvan and other players doing yoga for fitness of their health.
*Temple Ball : When Bhuvan hits the ball that ball hit the temple bell. This significant shoemws the God to play the game and also this incident shows hope.
In this movie does love triangles. We can show that 2 love triangle in this movie.
1. Bhuvan, Gauri and Elizabeth.
2. Bhuvan, Gauri and Lakha.
Elizabeth fall in love with Bhuvan but Bhuvan beloved wife Gauri. That's why Elizabeth can't express his love. When she looks both are happy with each other than she sacrifice har love.
Similar like Elizabeth, Lakha fall in love with Gauri but she loves Bhuvan.
Language :~
In the movie language is important thing.
English consider as high class language because it's only used by Britishers.
Villagers can't know English language that's why Elizabeth confess his love proposal but Bhuvan can't understand his feelings.

Rural India :
The whole setting of the movie remains in the village. Which represents the actual India. Where we finds agricultural activities as their chief source of livelihood. The dialect which people uses that also represents the countryside. But the situation of the people is not good. The another interpretation comes in our mind is that after having these kinds of problems yet they lives their lives happily.
● Patriotism :
During the whole movie we finds this quality in the people. The protagonist of the movie, Bhuvan who shows great courage for the welfare of the province and motivates other villagers to come up and rebel against the Britishers. The characters of Lakha, Deva, Arjan and Ram Singh who has worked for the Britishers but after realizing that they merely exploits them and joins the Bhuvan's group. Even women helps a lot in this rebel. Altogether they all vigorously works to get rid of from the high taxes.
● Nationalism :
What political ideology tells about nation that becomes Nationalism. They have a strong belief for the nation. When Raja Puran Singh denies to eat non-vegetarian food that shows the nationalism. The another scene comes in our mind is that when we see Captain Russell doing deer hunting that time Bhuvan tries to rescue deer. Which again portrays the national ideology because in reality the situation seems vice versa.
Yoga : Yoga is the symbol of Indianness. Movie shows Bhuvan and other players doing yoga for fitness of their health.
*Temple Ball : When Bhuvan hits the ball that ball hit the temple bell. This significant shoemws the God to play the game and also this incident shows hope.
Castism :
The character Kachara who consider as lover cast and untouchability. The other players not want to play with him but Bhuvan try to confess them to play the game because Kachara was fantastic spinner (firki player). And also try to show and connection with religion conflict like Ramayana, the relationship between Rama and Shabri.
Post - Colonialism :
As we all knows that the game of cricket is belongs to the Britishers. So metaphorically cricket is imposed on us. In the movie also we finds Elizabeth as an instructor of cricket. In the movie Lakha represents dishonesty whereas Elizabeth represents the honesty. So again White remains on the positive side.
Leadership Skills :
Leadership is the difficult task. The leader face many problems and difficulties. In the movie Bhuvan accept the challenge of cricket, but the other people not understand his ambition and condition. Than he try to prove him and play the game which unknown by villagers. After playing game than people understand his motive and people play with him.
