2. Prelude
It is about Bhuvan and his team, who, against all odds,
fight for pride, land and country - and win.
Lagaan is about people. Ordinary, average people, who
are going about their lives - like each of us. Who, when
the moment demands, do extraordinary deeds. It is
about the power of a Team - the mutthi ("closed fist"). As
a team, they were fighting for the future of tens of
thousands of their countrymen against a heartless
enemy (the British). They had few resources, and little
knowledge of the game of cricket. What they did not lack
was fighting and team spirit, and the will to win. They
were not playing a game; they were fighting a war.

3. Lesson No. 01
Accept the Challenges…
When Captain Russell challenges Bhuvan to a
cricket match, Bhuvan accepts it because he knows
that there is really no option. It is a risk, but
without taking risks, there are no rewards.

6. Lesson No. 03
Team Building…
Bhuvan considers all his team members equally
important and respect everyone’s talent…so he builds a
team of 11 people unaware of what Cricket is? No matter
how well Bhuvan played in the match, nothing would
have been possible if all the team members did not put
in their efforts

7. Each one of has something unique in us, the
thing is to realize our potential and make the
best use of it…
Bhuvan put together 11 men
including a forecaster, a dumb drummer, a hen
catcher, a potter, a wood cutter, a medicine
man, a farmer and above all a untouchable
sweeper of the village. Bhuvan showed how an
average team filled with team spirit can
overcome a group of talented, experienced
but under-motivated individuals.

8. Lesson No. 04
Assigning Task…
Bhuvan also assigns responsibilities to each of his people.
1. Putting right man at the right job to the right
place and at the right time.
2. Delegating authority to the right person.
3. Analyzing everyone's potential and knowledge
and giving job according to it.
Just getting the people in the team is not
good enough. They have to be told what the
goal is.

hard work.

11. Lesson No. 07
Celebrate Minor Victories:
Chhoti- Chhoti Khushiya helps in motivating and
encouraging the team. It also helps to lift the
spirits of the team members.
This was very well projected by Bhuvan's team.
Do we people do this in our daily life???

12. Lesson No. 08
Never Give Up:
Even the last ball of the match was played with hope.
5 runs to win out of 1 ball, but Bhuvan played it great
expectations as though it could win the match for the team
and that is exactly what happened.
He never gave up on his ability and this is what made
him win the match.
In life or in business always be alert and keep
giving your best to situations, because you never know
