How can one say that so-and-so movie was better than LAGAAN? It is not the same
run-around-the-mill story. It’s different from all the movies of this generation. These
days you this kind of movies are made very less and when a movie of such a caliber
is made one naturally feels good about the movie and words of appreciation flows
just the way a healthy person breathes. Its no the usual love story or family drama.
Ok so what if K3G, Mujhe Kuch. , Dil Chata Hai and Gadar were great success and
they were good in their own form, but Lagaan gives you not only three-hour
wholesome entertainment but also inspiration to win against something great. It is
really a great influencing movie. Performances, music, sets, screenplay and direction
were all superb. But one cannot deny the fact that the direction, sets and
performance (strictly in that order) of K#G were also fine. But Lagaan will be
remembered for generations to come. It will be a classic of all times.

Some points below is to look for our directors and film fraternity ....

1. The film lagan was not able to portray reality as had been done by the Bosnian
film.
2. This bolywood production was worth only the nomination.
3. The synchronization between the actors and the director seemed to be missing.
4. ‘Mother India’ which was of a better quality than Lagan failed to get an Oscar
5. The difference between actual villagers playing the cricket match and actors trying
to portray the same was distinct.
6. Although it was good effort it was missing that wow effect.
7. The directors need a lot of exposure to foreign films.
