overseas, "lagaan" earned an oscar nomination for best foreign language film at the 74th academy awards in 2002. this made it one of only three indian films to receive an oscar nomination, along with mehboob khan's "mother india" (1957) and mira nair's "salaam bombay!" (1988). this also makes aamir khan one of the few indian filmmakers to ever receive an oscar nomination. khan later commented on the loss of "lagaan" at the oscars: "certainly we were disappointed. but the thing that really kept us in our spirits was that the entire country was behind us". in addition to an oscar nomination, "lagaan" received a european film award nomination for best non-european film, and won awards at a number of international film festivals, including the bergen international film festival, leeds international film festival, locarno international film festival, natfilm festival, and portland international film festival. "taare zameen par" was also india's submission to the oscars, but did not receive a nomination. another aamir khan production, "peepli live" (2010), was india's submission to the oscars, while "dhobi ghat" (2011) was longlisted for the bafta award for best film not in the english language, though neither were nominated. in 2017, "dangal" won him the inaugural best asian film award at australia's 7th aacta awards, as well as movie of the year and top foreign actor from china's douban film awards, and it is an award nominee for the 68th berlin international film festival.

"lagaan" was met with high critical acclaim. the film currently scores a 95% "certified fresh" approval rating on review aggregate site rotten tomatoes, based on 59 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10. the site's critical consensus is, ""lagaan" is lavish, rousing entertainment in the old-fashioned tradition of hollywood musicals." derek elley of "variety" suggested that it "could be the trigger for bollywood's long-awaited crossover to non-ethnic markets". somni sengupta of "the new york times", described it as "a carnivalesque genre packed with romance, swordplay and improbable song-and-dance routines" roger ebert gave three and half out of four stars and said, ""lagaan" is an enormously entertaining movie, like nothing we've ever seen before, and yet completely familiar... at the same time, it's a memory of the films we all grew up on, with clearly defined villains and heroes, a romantic triangle, and even a comic character who saves the day. "lagaan" is a well-crafted, hugely entertaining epic that has the spice of a foreign culture." peter bradshaw of "the guardian" described the film as "a lavish epic, a gorgeous love story, and a rollicking adventure yarn. larger than life and outrageously enjoyable, it's got a dash of spaghetti western, a hint of kurosawa, with a bracing shot of kipling." kuljinder singh of the bbc stated that ""lagaan" is anything but standard bollywood fodder, and is the first must-see of the indian summer. a movie that will have you laughing and crying, but leaving with a smile." kevin thomas of the "los angeles times" argued that the film is "an affectionate homage to a popular genre that raises it to the level of an art film with fully drawn characters, a serious underlying theme, and a sophisticated style and point of view." sudish kamath of "the hindu" suggested that "the movie is not just a story. it is an experience. an experience of watching something that puts life into you, that puts a cheer on your face, however depressed you might be." "the times of india" wrote, ""lagaan" has all the attractions of big-sounding a. r. rahman songs, excellent performances by aamir khan... and a successful debut for pretty gracy singh. in addition, there is the celebrated david vs goliath cricket match, which has audiences screaming and clapping." perhaps one of the most emphatic recommendations for the movie, coming 10 years later, is by john nugent of the "trenton independent", who wrote "a masterpiece ... and what better way to learn a bit about india's colonial experience! history and great entertainment, all rolled in to one (albeit long) classic film."
