The Empire (2021– )
7/10
Entertainment not a docudrama, eye-catching cinematography, sound design, production design, costumes
31 August 2021
From Uzbekistan to Afghanistan to india .. from Fergana to Samarkand to Kabul and then to Delhi, his final destination. He was faced with defeats but that never let him down. Since as a child, he always dreamed of conquering and ruling over India... this is a story of mostly his early years till he defeated Ibrahim Lodhi at Panipat in 1526.

The series fails to depict the account of his days as an emperor in india...the story is embroidered with superficial and somewhat repetitive components that makes this more of an entertainment rather than a docudrama... Exemplary direction, breathtaking cinematography, awe-inspiring sound design, production design, art and costumes and overall good performances.. however, poor VFX, Kunal Kapoor falls little short with some urun-of-the-mill performance in the initial episodes, Shabana Azmi and Rahul Dev are right choices for the roles, Drashti Dhyani shines, Dino surprises mostly in a good way (except some overplayed) Great watch though. Watch The Empire (originally named as *The Empire of the Moguls: The Raiders from the North.* an adaption of Alex Rutherford's book by the same title, available on Hotstar.
