But finally someone said it! The movie totally rocks.
Koodos!
You should take a bow for posting this
I really am mighty impressed. I knwo its historically inaccurate and i wish they had just made it a fictional piece rather than associating it wtih Asoka. Perhaps said "inspired by Asoka's story' or something, but not gone ahead and claimed it to be asoka's tale.
But otherwise, my goodness the cinematograhpy for htis movie is simply breathtaking!
And the way they show Asoka viewing hte word towards the end, the way his eyes open up for the first time as he takes in the carnage and pain around him. And one scene of hte woman just sitting htere by her dead husband looking at asoka.
And some symbolism as well. WHen he was Pawan, he had a white horse. When he turned into "Asoka" they showed him straddling a black horse for warfare. And interesing how Kareena was right htere in front of him in the battle scenes. She even saw him, but he was so blinded by hate that he coudlnt spot the woman he love right in front of him.
And in the end, when he fially achieves revelation, he suddenly stumbles upon and spots kaurwaki right there.
And the songs! OMG! Apart from teh stupid retarded item song, I love them all. Special mention to roshni se, raat ka nasha, and san sanana.
And the theme/backgroud score is beautiufl.
I think if hte movie had released now, ti might have done better.
