:30:15
Listen, villagers,
to this proclamation!

:30:19
Orders of Rajah Puran Singh,
your liege and master.

:30:23
This year you shall pay
twice the amount...

:30:26
...of wheat, rice and maize.
:30:28
The double lagaan
will apply to the whole province.

:30:32
-How can this be possible?
-This is tyranny!

:30:38
Double lagaan!
:30:41
Demon! Why don't you just
skin us alive?!

:30:44
Our plight isn't hidden from the Rajah!
Even then, double lagaan!

:30:54
What have we done wrong?
Why double lagaan?

:30:57
We didn't pay on time last year.
And we paid only half.

:31:01
Abba, it was Rajahji who waived it
because it didn't rain.

:31:06
Sweets one year and abuse the next.
:31:09
We're being punished for it now!
:31:12
Quiet, Lakha!
:31:13
l won't hear one word
against our Rajahji.

:31:17
He and his ancestors have protected us.
:31:20
So? Was that any favour?
:31:23
lt is the duty of a tree to shelter.
:31:26
All l want to know is...
:31:28
...for how long will we
fill his coffers?

:31:32
Try and understand, Arjan.
:31:34
This demand is the doing
of those damn white sahibs!

:31:39
Whether we put it into
the right hand or the left...

:31:42
...it is still we who pay.
:31:45
l say we all go to the palace
and talk to him.

:31:50
He's seen these clouds too.
:31:52
We'll say we cannot pay lagaan.
:31:55
Not a single grain.
:31:58
What if Rajahji refuses
even after hearing us?
