BOLLYWOOD COMES TO LEWANNICK - INDIAN NIGHT WITH FOOD!

Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001)

Cert PG - 224 min. 

Considered to be a modern classic of Indian cinema, LAGAAN is a musical drama which tells the story of a central Indian farming village in 1893.

Awhirl with colour and magnificence — it is beautifully shot — and long but never stretched, this is a film that will contradict every prejudice you might have against that most elusive of worlds — Indian cinema. It isn’t subtle, it doesn’t want to be, but a better entryway into the alien complexities and designs of Bollywood, or, for that matter, the dizzying rules of cricket you will not find. Action, romance, intrigue, dancing, music and not forgetting cricket!

With an equally stunning soundtrack, this rollicking yarn is a must for all film lovers.

Combined cost with food £10 - without food £4.50

Information & Bookings:
Carole Newbery Telephone: 01566 782 621
