The movie speaks to you long after you exit the theater. The director has made sincere efforts to create a sense of consideration for one's country. The attention to detail in every aspect, the reality in every shot and the constraint in dramatic persuasiveness is excellent. The only thing one might say is over the top is the romantic idealism of the hero who leaves the materialistic pleasures of US to go back to India. The director uses this to drive the point home and make the audience question their beliefs, values and thinking.

Lots of movies have come which have a lot of Jism, a little Murder and lots of Hawas but this one has a soul and is thought provoking. Mkaes you spend at least one minute and stop thinking about self and focus on the society as a whole. Well done Ashutosh, great encore to Lagaan.
