"I had tears in my eyes as I read this book. It took me back to every adventure-filled moment that we went through in the two and a half years it took us to make Lagaan. And what took me by surprise is that the book goes beyond being just a description of how the film was made. It's a story about a time, a space and lives of people from four distinct cultures and backgrounds, who came together to ride the 'wild horse' called Lagaan. As a Lagaanite I want to thank Satyajit for the effort he had made to put on record a slice of all our lives. An effort that will enable us to relive the delicious madness."

"The Spirit of Lagaan makes me relive the whole experience. Satyajit Bhatkal's fascinating and delightful re-telling of an exacting and demanding journey which he himself was a part of, his observations about cross-cultural amalgamation and his real insights into the making of the film make the book a truly gratifying read"
