Movie Review : Lagaan





15th, August 2018. on the occasion of The Independence Day in the Department Of English. we have a film screening of "Lagaan"(Tax) Ashutosh Gowariker , produced by Aamir Khan and Mansoor Khan. we all know that coin have a two different sides so here we watched this film to understand another side of film.

1) 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.

2. Post-Colonialism:
In the movie "Lagaan-once upon a time in India" Bhuvan accepts challenge by Russel just to cancel the double texation and learns to play cricket and also teaches cricket to other villagers and intention behind learning the game of cricket was only for winning the challenge and to get freedom from from double taxation; though Britishers have left India and we are celebrating 71st Independence Day there is impact of Britishers over many fields and on people's mind also,
      Most of Indians are the fan of game cricket or most of them  likes to play or watch this game but in comparison of cricket there are few people who knows about Indian games or likes to play or watch Indian games like hockey and Kabbadi.

3. Religion :
There is coexistence of many religions in India and we may say that in our India there is unity in diversity. Most of us are believing in God and in the movie "Lagaan-once upon a time in India" Director has described it very well that every person is a strong believer of God and they all are praying for better tomorrow. So,religion is also important matter in India in that time and today also.

Post Truth

When we talk about the POST-TRUTH its hide real situation and it is not presents the reality of the society .The people also live in some kind of   assumption  that is is  truth. The truth means something exist in the society but the POST-TRUTH is retelling the truth which canbe truth or not. We see in the media tht how they hide the reality of people so people is live in some kind of ignorance but in the real life but it is not truth. Truth is always about that exist or we can say the facts which are there. On the other hand post truth is ‘‘created truth’. the famous  phrase about truth is ‘’universal truth’’.
