The script demanded a dry location: an

village where it had not rained in several years.

Kutch faced the same problems at that time

and

hence the village of Kanuria, located a few

miles

away from Bhuj..

After searching through Rajasthan, Nasik, UP,

they finally chosen village near Bhuj..

Champaner village where the entire movie is

based is

actually Jam Kunaria village in Bhuj.. Captn Russell’s Headquiter was in Vijay Vilas Palace in Kutch.

SHORT STORY OF MOVIE

This is the story about the resilience shown by the Indians when they were under the British Rule. The story goes like this...There is no rain in the village since a year. The villagers who depend on rain for farming are unable to pay the lagaan to the ruler Captain Russel. 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 villagers, they decide to oppose it. Leading the villagers is a handsome young man named Bhuvan, who challenges them to a game of cricket.

Bhuvan's defeat of the British team. In addition, Russell is forced to pay the taxes for the whole province and is transferred to Central Africa. After long time there was Heavy Rain in that Village in the end of Movie.. After realising that Bhuvan loves Gauri, Elizabeth returns to London. Heartbroken, she remains unmarried for the rest of her life. Bhuvan marries Gauri.
