Yes, it is. The film 'Lagaan' is based on a true - story concept. It showcases the struggle of Indian villagers against the British rule through the game of cricket. This story is set in a time when the villagers were burdened with high taxes (lagaan) and they took up the challenge of a cricket match to get relief from the tax for three years if they won.
Yes, it was. It was set during the British colonial period in India. The unfair taxes on the peasants were real. The movie just added the cricket aspect to make it an interesting story of how the villagers fought back.
In a way, Lagaan is based on true events. However, it's a cinematic adaptation that combines reality with imagination to create a compelling story for the audience.
Partly. While Lagaan isn't a verbatim account of a specific true story, it takes cues from historical and social contexts to create a fictional narrative with underlying real-world influences.
