Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol, the movie depicts how a young man unwillingly joins the Indian Army just to maintain his family tradition.

At 12:30 pm, watch Amir Khan’s Oscar nominated film Lagaan. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, this iconic movie tells the tale of a revolt led by a young farmer Bhuvan arising from a challenge by a British officer to beat his team at cricket or pay double Lagaan (Tax) on their land.
At 5 pm, witness the 101% Shuddh action film ‘Karma’ starring Dilip Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and

Ending the day on a high note will be Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. The movie relives the time of partition and tells the story a happily married couple – Tara, a Sikh driver and Sakeena, a Muslim girl. However, their happiness is short lived as Sakeena’s father forces her to stay in Pakistan in order to separate her from her family.
