Talk about cheating...
FYI, I'm referencing myself not the reader who sent me this email:
Hi:I figure it's a cheap excuse for a post. Off hand, the first films that came to mind were Lagaan and 1942: A Love Story. To a lesser extent I suggested Rang de Basanti.
Know of any Bollywood films depicting the British Raj -- especially 19th
century colonialism? I'm working on a project that looks at former
colonies' cinematic portrayals of colonial periods.
Thanks for any tips!
Mike
My readers--if there are any left ;)--are a smart and well informed bunch. I'm sure there are numerous films I'm not aware of. Don't fail me now!
Drop your knowledge in the comments.

"Mangal Pandey - the rising"? Haven't seen it myself, though, so I couldn't recommend or dissuade...
The Legend of Bhagat Singh
Massey Sahib and Junoon (both parallel cinema; the first of which can be accessed online at jaman.com)
Hey Ram!
Check out Trikaal - a movie which has the last days of Portuguese colonial rule in goa as the backdrop of its story before Goa's liberation in 1961.
