Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India Page #8
We will not play!
What's happened?
This damn Untouchable!
He can't play with us. No way!
That's right. We'll not mix
with an Untouchable.
It's unthinkable!
I am not playing.
- We too won't play.
What are you doing?
It's absolutely wrong!
You are polluting
the whole system.
To fight the English is our duty
but mixing a low-caste...
...is like poisoning milk.
I will not allow this!
Kachra, you scum!
Get lost.
Oh, my God!
Bhuvan touched an Untouchable!
You brand people untouchable
and pollute humanity itself.
Chief, why are you choking
the very air of our village...
...with this caste division!
Is it right to destroy and shatter
hearts in the name of skin colour?
Then why worship Ram who ate
a tribal woman's half-eaten berries?
The Lord who ferries us all
across this sea of life...
...was himself ferried by
a low-caste boatman.
You know all this and yet
talk of untouchability!
And you, Isar Kaka!
You are a man of medicine.
You check the ailing patient's pulse
and treat him.
Do your scriptures tell you
not to treat an untouchable?
And let him die?
If that's so, it'll be the darkest blot
on humanity. After this...
...no one will regard a man of
medicine as God's other form!
Leave all that, Bhuvan.
You want a big hefty player, don't you?
This Kachra is a cripple!
Your hands aren't deformed, right?
It's by God's grace, Lakha,
that you can say all this.
But the man you call crippled will be
our greatest strength. Wait and see.
This seemingly lifeless hand
will give us victory.
Let me remind all of you
of one thing.
This is not a game we are
playing for fun or entertainment.
This is a battle we must win!
Our only goal is liberation from Lagaan
and welfare of our village.
And for that, I will not bow
before anyone till my last breath!
Whether you support me or not,
Kachra will play.
Bhuvan, my son...
Shame can't even enter eyes
that are fully opened.
I agree with Isar Bhai.
What you said was right, Bhuvan.
Kachra will play with us.
Again and again, yes
Say this, my friend
May victory be ours!
Defeat, their lot
Again and again, yes
Say this, my friend
May victory be ours!
Defeat, their lot
Let no one win
against us
Let's walk ahead
Let's walk ahead
All challengers
will bite the dust
Let's walk ahead
Even if it is pitch-dark
Let's walk ahead
Let's walk ahead
Let no one stay back
on the road
Let's walk ahead
If a finger rises
break it shall
When all five join
the fist is formed!
Let our unity grow
Come on, walk ahead
However seductive
the lures cast before you
Walk ahead
No one can ever win
against us
Let's walk ahead
Let's walk ahead
All challengers
will bite the dust
So walk ahead
Let no one stop you
obstruct you
Break all barriers
What have you ever got
being weak and powerless
Never will we suffer again
Such will be our play
the enemy will lose
We will now take
the path of courage
We will shake up this earth
We will show everyone
Who is king
who the slave
We shall show this
overwhelmed world
What we are worth
Again and again, yes
Say this, my friend
Victory will be ours
Defeat, their lot
Now
No fear will enter our hearts
Let's walk ahead
Let's walk ahead
Every shackle
will now break open
Let's walk ahead
Keep walking
Don't ever falter
You are the journeyman
of the road
The snake of tiredness
should never bite you
He that rules you
is a tyrant
He that has destroyed us
His home is in the west
We shall make sure
he will not remain
We will shake up this earth
We will show everyone
Who is king
who the slave
We shall show this
overwhelmed world
What we are worth
What has to happen
will happen
Let's walk ahead
Let's walk ahead
Now
No one will bow his head
Let's walk ahead
And then, the historic day dawned
when the first rays of the sun...
...fell on the cricket field.
Good morning, Captain Russell.
- Good morning, Colonel Boyer.
This way.
- Thank you.
Morning, Miss Russell.
- Miss Russell.
Are you feeling confident, Captain?
- Yes, sir.
Decent crowd.
Hail Hanuman,
The Mighty Ape God!
Long live Your Highness.
Smash the Feringhees.
Beat them to pulp.
Crush Captain Russell's arrogance.
Long live...
- Your Highness.
Things are certainly beginning
to hot up a bit, aren't they?
Yes.
Both the teams will bat once.
The game will be played
over three days.
Which team bats first...
...will be decided by
the toss of a coin.
For this, both the teams
must enter the field.
To ensure fair play...
...senior officials had invited
neutral umpires from Kanpur.
Will you call, Captain Russell?
Heads, sir.
Heads. Your call.
We will bat.
Good luck, Captain.
- Thank you, sir.
Good luck, young man.
The batting team that scores
more runs wins the game.
Opening the batting for
the English team...
...are Lt. Smith
and Lt. Burton.
What are they doing?
Come here.
What are you all doing?
All running at
the same time!
You run and grab the ball
only if it comes to you. Got it?
Now go.
Well done, Bhura!
The ball crosses the boundary
and the English get four more runs.
No ball.
No ball.
Steady, Smith, steady.
Deva crossed the line
before he bowled the ball.
So the English batsman has not
been given out.
Instead, he got an extra run.
Damn! He made me run!
Bat's over.
With this ball,
Deva's over is finished.
And eight runs were made.
Now, a new bowler
will bowl the ball.
The ball will spin.
Grab the catch.
Okay.
Spin it!
Good shot, Burton.
Why isn't the ball spinning!
- Don't know.
Catch it, Lakha!
Kachra isn't spinning the ball
at all today.
He has to be taken off.
Deva, you better get
your breath back.
Bhuvan, you bowl.
- Okay.
Aim and hit!
The first English batsman is out!
Rather looking forward to this.
Well done, Smith.
- Yes, sir.
Coming to bat now...
...is the English captain,
Captain Russell.
Sharp fielding there.
Well done.
For the loss of one wicket...
...they have scored 66 runs so far.
Shatter the sticks, Goli.
- Of course.
Will throw with the right arm
and from this side.
Right arm, over the wicket.
Very good, Goli.
Sir, did you see that?
- Yes, I did.
That's excellent, Goli!
This is ridiculous.
Sir, he may not be allowed to bowl
the ball like this. It's improper.
What's the matter?
He can't bowl like this.
- Why not?
What's wrong, Sahib?
Have you ever seen
such an action, sir?
Excuse me, sir.
Is something the matter?
You see we have a problem here.
This man swings his arm more than once
before releasing the ball.
He'll have to bowl conventionally.
Sir, I think you're being unfair
to the home team.
Unfair! How can you say that?
It's only fair they ask this man
to bowl properly.
There is no rule written anywhere
about such an action, is there?
Well, there's nothing written
about it that I can recall.
There's nothing written
about this rule.
Well, we better write
some rules, Captain...
...which, unfortunately,
