Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lagaan (Tax) is a 2001 Academy Award-nominated Bollywood epic set during the British Raj in India. When the residents of a drought-stricken small village cannot pay their taxes (lagaan) to the British, a young man, Bhuvan, is offered a bet by the British Captain: if they can win a cricket match against the British team, he will cancel their taxes for three years. If they lose, they must pay triple. Bhuvan, to the horror of his fellow villagers, accepts the challenge, pointing out that without rain, the taxes would ruin them either way.Bhuvan must then make a competent cricket team out of a rag-tag group of villagers. In the meantime, he catches the eye of the captain's good-natured sister, Elizabeth, which greatly upsets his childhood friend Gauri.A rare example of a sports story about Cricket, and in 19th-century India at that.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has nothing to do with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, although one character is named Guran. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| Lagaan / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: Russell, and how! His senior officers are more complex; they want to get as much tax out of the territory as they can and are afraid of other provinces getting a similar idea or even open rebellion, but they also tell Russell that they expect him to pay the lagaan out of his own pocket should his team lose, rather than stepping in to force the province to pay. Averted with the rest of the higher-ups. Elizabeth is genuinely upset with her brother's actions (and in love with The Hero) and helps the villagers by teaching them how to play cricket; the Raja hates Russell as much as anyone (but takes pains to conceal it); the referees are completely impartial; and the rest of the Brits graciously applaud the Indian villagers when they win the match. | |
