Celebrating 25 years of cinematic excellence, Aamir Khan’s Oscar-nominated blockbuster Lagaan is set to return to theaters across India on June 12, 13, and 14. Originally released on June 15, 2001, the epic period sports drama was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Aamir Khan.

Set during British colonial rule, Lagaan follows a group of villagers who challenge their colonial rulers to a high-stakes cricket match to escape oppressive taxes. The film earned international recognition with a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 74th Academy Awards and remains one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated achievements.
