Abstract

An attempt made to examine how directors bring out the tested Bollywood formula in order to generate a broader appeal not only within India but increasingly across the world is presented by focusing on the Bollywood hit film 'Lagaan'. The film raises concerns about the nature of a globalized world as it has been regarded as a euphemism for Western cultural domination.
