Celebrating Lagaan, 10 years on

Aamir Khan's blockbuster Lagaan was released 10 years ago on this date, June 15. We celebrate the film.
Suhasini Mulay stands on a barren piece of land somewhere in Bhuj, Gujarat, and looks up at the scorching sun. She is dressed in a white sari and has squinted her eyes as the sun shines mercilessly upon the arid landscape.
A few feet above her, cinematographer Anil Mehta sits on a giant crane with a movie camera aimed directly at Mulay.
After a few takes, everyone decides that the shot is good enough. From behind a monitor, Ashutosh Gowariker says 'Okay' into a microphone and is greeted by a round of applause.
Among the ones watching this scene unfold are Tahir Husain and Nasir Husain, the usually reticent AR Rahman, Aamir Khan's then wife Reena Datta, his to-be wife Kiran Rao and Khan himself.
Hugs and backslaps follow. Soon after, the guests make their way into the cars waiting for them. The others get back to work.
This is pretty much how it all began -- at around 11 am on January 6, 2000 -- the shooting of what would become one of the greatest films in Indian cinema and undoubtedly the biggest landmark movie of the decade that would follow: Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India.

Ten years ago, Lagaan swept the nation by storm when it released on June 15. It made its lead actor Aamir Khan reach a new level of stardom, director Ashutosh Gowariker earned a new kind of respect, and the rest of the cast got a new lease of life in their careers.
Last night, Aamir threw a special bash celebrating the film, and his production house Aamir Khan Productions, which completed 10 years on June 15.
Held at Taj Land's End in Bandra, a western Mumbai suburb, it was attended by all the people who contributed to AKP's success.
Aamir invited his former wife Reena Datta as well, who helped produce Lagaan. In an earlier interview, Aamir had mentioned that if it hadn't been for Reena, Lagaan wouldn't have been made.
