Egaro: The Eleven[1][2][3] (transl. Eleven) is a 2011 Bengali sports film based on a historical event. It was directed by debutant director Arun Roy. The film is loosely based on the historical events leading to a football match between Mohun Bagan and East Yorkshire Regiment on 29 July 1911, a time when India was under the British rule. This was the first time when Mohun Bagan, or any native team won the IFA Shield.[4] The film commemorated that event in its centenary year 2011.
