This 1985 film was such a gem! Made me a life-long fan of @anilskapoor ! A remake of a 1981 Bangla film of the same title, this was a beautiful film about a family's struggle to get their daughter married, with a dark and unexpected twist at the end. this. #NationalSportDay

I watched #Lagaan after my exams in the summer of 2001, in Chandigarh... even with a run-time of 3 plus hours, it had such a nail-biting finish... who doesn't love a cricket match that keeps you hooked till the end, especially between the oppressor and the oppressed, where the right side wins? ... Lagaan made the Foreign Film category at the Academy, apart from sweeping all awards here. I loved the music by genius @arrahman the entire cast... it was the beginning of what I call #AamirKhan's patriot films ... @ashutoshGowarikar 's best.

We were promoting #Fukrey in Dubai when our multifaceted producer @faroutakhtar joined us. He hit the gym before he joined us for Press. Amazing commitment! His physical transformation made as much news as his performance. Salute heroes like Milkha Singh, this was a fantastic biopic #nationalsportday
