Ashutosh Gowariker reveals one correction he'd make to Lagaan 20 years later

Ashutosh Gowariker directed Lagaan. The Aamir Khan-starrer completed 20 years of release on June 15.

On June 15, Lagaan completed 20 years of its release. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the film received accolades from critics and was also nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 2002 Oscars. In a recent interview, Ashutosh Gowariker was asked if he would like to change anything in Lagaan in hindsight. The director replied saying that he would change nothing in the 3 hours 44 minutes film, except for one thing. In an interview with The Quint, Ashutosh Gowariker said, "I would definitely make it exactly the way I made it, but there would be one 'correction' that I would like to do. And the correction is that when we made the film then, it was four hours and five minutes, the first cut that we had. And we had removed 18 or 20 minutes of an entire track, which was Captain Russell arresting the villagers and putting them behind bars, and framing them, and then Elizabeth coming and rescuing them."
