Bollywood movies are known for their elaborative sets and aesthetical visualisation. From giant Dharma setups to the very elegant Sanjay Leela Bhansali sets, Bollywood has always set a benchmark. However, there are also many movies which are set in a rural or a small town setting and they have never disappointed. Twitter user ‘Mimansa Shekhar’ took to the blue bird app and shared a few such movies. She asked people to pick their favourtie movie.
With that, she also gave a shoutout to Amir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’. “To me, #Lagaan is perfect in recent times. Its village Champaner was created near actual Kunaria (Bhuj), Gujarat. From costumes, professions to art direction, everything was top notch,” she wrote.

"Dum laga ke Haisha" speaks in volumes about the socio culture and mindset of the people of small town. There day to day challenges and struggle have been exceptionally portrayed on celluloid. On top of that I loved the way it ends the film on a high note.— Nitish Jalali (@shoonyakumar) May 2, 2023
