Aamir Khan and Rachel Shelley are back together, twenty five years later. The two stars of Lagaan, one playing farmer Bhuvan and the other British officer Elizabeth, met again at the London Indian Film Festival this weekend. It's part of a bigger celebration around the film's twenty fifth anniversary, and this reunion happened at a special screening hosted at the BFI with IMAX UK. And fans online are losing it over the photos.

Shelley posted a picture with Khan on her Instagram, calling it a glorious Sunday morning celebration and thanking Aamir Khan Productions for putting it together. The post also tagged the Indian Film Festival of London and BFI's film academy. What's kind of sweet, honestly, is that this wasn't her first shot at reconnecting this year.Shelley couldn't make it to the Mumbai event earlier when the film's anniversary was first marked,so this London meeting became her actual reunion moment.Fans on social media have been sharing old stills from the movie next to the new photos,pointing out how both actors have aged but the chemistry from the screen still feels familiar somehow.

Lagaan came out in 2001 and went on to get an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film,one of only three Indian films to reach that stage at the time.
