Lagaan , which won an Oscar nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category, finds a place in the all-time 25 best sports movies list of Time .
It is in the 14th spot “Even those who know none of cricket's complicated rules will bounce in their seats to A. R. Rahman's irrepressible tunes; here, one can immediately and fully accept the Bollywood music and dance as an expression of life's deepest, most soaring emotions. As a sports film, social document or communal ecstasy, Lagaan is the all-time all-rounder,” Time said.
