Lagaan takes place in the town of Champaner, Central India during the height of the British Empire in India in 1893. Captain Andrew Russell, the commanding officer of the Champaner cantonment, has imposed high taxes (“lagaan”) on people from the local villages which they will be unable to pay due to a prolonged drought. Led by Bhuvan, they beg Raja Puran Singh to help them. He tells them that much to his regret, he is also bound by British law.
