Chandigarh, June 16

Bollywood’s most iconic movie Lagaan has completed its 22 year on Thursday. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, it starred Aamir Khan, Gracy Singh, Yashpal Sharma, and British actress Rachel Shelley as the key characters. This masterpiece not only garnered enormous box office success but also left a lasting impression on viewers all around the world.

Lagaan’s remarkable journey earned it a major Oscar nomination in 2002, making it a genuinely ground-breaking accomplishment for both Aamir Khan and Indian cinema in general. Movie lovers still adore and value its pre-independence era-based plot.

Amir Khan Productions’ official Instagram account just posted a collection of vintage Behind The Scene (BTS) images from the film’s production. The caption read:

“A nostalgic throwback to ‘Lagaan’ as we celebrate its 22-year milestone, reliving the moments that made it an iconic part of the Indian cinema.”
