Lagaan - Collector's Edition (2-Disc)

This is a great movie to have in collection. The DVD production is qualitative. The price is good too. Amazon service is topnotch and trouble free. Have bought it during offer so quite a good deal.

excellent movie

Second review comment: I called customer care, they asked me to dump the cd and sent a fresh new pack. This time it worked well. Updating my review rating. My first review comment 18/02/17: Very very very poor. CD is not working properly. It gets stuck in between scenes specifically chapter 27 and does not work after that. Most of the important scenes getting skipped. Absolutely waste of money for a legend movie. Tried on DVD player connected to television as well as laptop. Also, tried downloading various software to try my luck playing the movie. Didn't expect Amazon to ship a product like this. Don't even have an option to return product :(

The Chale Chalo DVD is free inside for its a Collectors Edition. The Dolby Digital 5.1 makes lagaan and its songs so real and wanting to hear again and again...Super resolution DVD.. A must have for any Indian Cinema watcher and Song Lover..

Nice entertainer and nail biting finish in the end. DVD collection is very good and worth a collection for your home viewing.

Could have been better ,if it has got any Blu Ray version

Very poor quality DVD. The volume goes up and down and then goes up and down again throughout the movie. Can't even replace the Prime items. Damn it! Very disappointed, Amazon.

The delivery and packaging was good and on time. The picture and surround sound quality of the DVD is good.There is also a second DVD containing bonus features. Worth buy !

Meravigliosa la musica, la storia, gli attori/ ballerini cantanti, la regia, l'ambientazione... è il primo film di Bollywood che vedo, lo avevo visto sl cinema quando è uscito e ci sono tornata tre volte!. che cinema finalmente diverso da Hollywood! non è un musical ma gli attori ballano e cantano, la storia è banale ma la amate, le ambientazioni non si capisce bene ma ci credete anche se sono di cartapesta, è tutto in lingua indi, peggio di cosi! eppure lo amerete

La explicación en detalle de los contenidos, especialmente idiomas de la película, era un poco deficiente y compré la pelñicula pensando que tenía la opción de castellano hablado, que no tenía.

I ordered Lagaan: Once upon a Time in India (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) because it was my husband’s favorite childhood movie. I love the Indian culture and music but was skeptical at how this movie would play, and I had never watched a Bollywood film so I was curious to see how my first one would be especially being in Hindi. It did not play on my newer Blue Ray/HD DVD player which plays all other movies but luckily I had my older non Blue Ray player which played it. It’s a long movie but well worth the time. It’s based in India in the 1980’s when the Brits came to take over India. It’s about common folk standing up against oppression and fighting for their rights. The story has many lessons on moral and ethical values as well. Lagaan is an enchanting film that works on several levels: as an exciting sports film, as a poignant triangular love story and as a social and political drama. Since ordering Lagaan I have since order several other Hindi Bollywood movies my husband loves and I enjoy them all.

Does not work on my DVD player. Had to put it in my computer but do not have a player on there so no subtitles. Maybe it was burned improperly? Maybe it's my Canadian DVD player.

Note: this is not a review of the disc, but the movie itself. The following may contain spoilers: This is one of my top ten movies. An investment of time, and worth it. I wrote a critical analysis of it for a graduate school seminar, a post-colonial literature class. Aamir Khan's reputation for a flawless work ethic soars -- every detail works, and the end result is magical. "Lagaan" must be experienced: the symbolism, the details, the storyline are an homage to Gandhi, ahimsa, and the triumph of good over evil. Khan's political and social concerns are laid bare, his anti-Imperialism unvarnished. But it's more than politics, thinly veiled. It's about the power of non-violence to triumph. It's a love story. It's a spiritual manifesto, of sorts. It's about the power of compassion and goodness over cruelty and greed. It's a story of idealism and fearlessness, the quintessential underdog movie; and I would argue it is the best underdog movie ever produced, for it incorporates the elements of India's caste system, British Imperialism, and grants the most unseemly -- a lame untouchable -- humanity. This isn't about a single underdog, but a motley crew finding something larger, with Khan's character referencing the power of Gandhi's non-violent philosophy, and India's basis for independence. For this reason the lame hand delivers victory over the iron fist: this is the movie's central symbolism, brilliantly developed throughout, in various ways. Cannot recommend enough: Khan should have received the Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
