This is the story about the resilience shown by the Indian when they were under the British Rule. They are already taxed to the bone by the British and their cronies, but when Jack Russell announces that he will double the Lagaan (tax) from all villager, they decide to oppose it. Leading the villager is a handsome young man named Bhuvan, who challenges them to a game of cricket, a game that is to be played by veteran British cricket player, verus villager, including Bhuvan himself, who have never played this game before, and do not even know a bat from a piece of wood. As the challenge is accepted, the interest grows and attracts Indian from all over the region, as well as the British from all over the country - as everyone gather to see the 'fair play' that the British will display againt their counter-parts, who are aided by none other than the sister, Elizabeth, of Captain Rusell.
