Today, through this special with Netflix, we gather here and celebrate what the people truly believed in, making it an immensely proud moment,” the director added. ‘Lagaan’ is the story of people coming together and standing united against all odds. It is overwhelming for me as well as the entire team of the film that this dream became a reality. “That it would be appreciated 20 years down the line is something that is unimaginable. Gowariker said it was his “ultimate dream” to create something which will linger in the audience’s mind and “Lagaan” made that possible. “Lagaan” was nominated in the Best Foreign Language category at the 74th Academy Awards and received widespread critical and commercial acclaim. It is also so wonderful to see that the journey of ‘Lagaan’ continues, and I am really looking forward to reconnecting with the ‘Lagaan’ gang thanks to this initiative by Netflix,” the actor-producer said in a statement. “‘Lagaan’ is something I am extremely grateful for and I will always cherish every memory of this ongoing journey. Starting with Ashu and his team of writers, the entire cast and crew, all our partners, our distributors, my seniors from the film industry who lent their wholehearted support, the exhibition sector, and most importantly, our audience, I can’t thank all of you enough.

I am so grateful to all my fellow travellers on this magical journey. “’Lagaan’ has showered us all with so much love. The actor-producer, who also headlined the film, said the team “broke our backs” while making “Lagaan”, but their hearts were full of joy. The film was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Aamir Khan.Īlso Read | Get ‘First Day First Show’, our weekly newsletter from the world of cinema, in your inbox.
