I have removed the statement alleging the ball bowled by Guran to effect a stumping was a no-ball. This is not the case as the batsman was outside the batting crease when the ball passed him, hence making the height of the ball a moot point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.249.240.131 ( talk) 20:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I know nothing about cricket but I saw Lagaan yesterday and then read this article today. But as far as I can tall from reading about cricket rules today 1. getting hit by a beamer is a no-ball 2. knocking over the stumps with your person means you get dismissed UNLESS the bowler hits a no-ball This would mean that Lakha should not have been dismissed doesn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.188.98 ( talk) 09:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that Lakha, after being discovered to be a traitor, did not "score points" for the team. He took a diving one-handed catch, but, IIRC, he was (illegally) dismissed by a bean-ball which hit him in the head, causing him to fall unconscious onto his stumps (first ball) - meaning he didn't score any runs "points".

Somehow the Yashpal Sharma links to a real Indian cricketer, born in the 1954. Unless they used lots of makeup and I am mistaken, the Yashpal Sharma who played Lakha is probably somebody else? Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Does anybody know why several libraries have this title listed as "Lagāna?" Is that how the Hindi transcribes? — Wiki Wikardo 05:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Oh, also, I removed "Lagaan" along with " Dil Chahta Hai" released later that year had a considerable impact on the Indian audiences who were plain tired of the stale formulaic films of old—who’s to say how the entire Indian moviegoing populace felt at any given time? If someone wants to slumping post box office figures or whatever to illustrate, it’s all gravy.
Someone had turned the synopsis into a ball by ball account of the climactic cricket game. The result was not only long and confusing, but utterly boring. I cut the synopsis drastically and didn't say anything about the outcome of the game. The game is a glorious piece of film editing and shouldn't be ruined in advance. I loathe sports and have never seen a real cricket game, but that film had me glued to the screen, breathless with excitement. The synopsis should let people know enough to decide whether or not they want to see the movie, not replace the movie. Zora 03:07, 9 October 2006 I don't understand the problem with spoiling the movie if it's under a spoiler tag. 132.216.19.203 21:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I'm not disputing that Bhojpuri is used in Lagaan (this seems to be a well-sourced claim), but could anyone provide any specific examples? -- Kuaichik 20:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

What is the relevance of Bhojpuri in the title of the film? Maquahuitl ( talk) 17:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
This is in response to the merger proposal of Awards and nominations for Lagaan. The very reason why I created a new page altogether is because of the sheer number of nominations the film received. It also won many national and international awards and mentioning the awards and nominations together on the main page would not have been appropriate and it would only increase the size of the main article. Instead, I felt shifting the nominations as a newer article, which, in itself, would warrant as a new article. The prominent awards and nominations only have been mentioned in the main article. Thoughts on merger are welcome. Best regards, Mspraveen ( talk) 12:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!
