Top Ten B-wood films on cricket

Lagaan (2001) Without question the ultimate cricket-based classic, this film made by Ashutosh Gowarikar was shortlisted in the category of Best Foreign Film at the Oscars. Lagaan is the story of a village whose rural population has to find a way to form a cricket team and beat the well-equipped team of British colonisers to avoid the burden of taxes. Starring Aamir Khan who also produced the film and helped by a glittering ensemble cast, Lagaan is a minor masterpiece.
