Asoka (2001)
Character assassination of Ashoka

A trashy movie that is not only boring, but extremely misleading. This is a film that is supposed to be happening in 2-3rd century BC, and at least be sketching the life of king Ashoka, The Great. The film fails miserably to do any justification to its title, which unfortunately has been used shamelessly as a gimmick to sell this trash mainly to Indian cosmopolitan and western audience. The film in the beginning claims not to be accurate, but it is no excuse for abandoning the truth altogether. The film is boring, and has copied some of the ideas from GLADIATOR, and BRAVEHEART. The war scenes are ridiculous. From the typical Bollywood formula movie angle, it is an average movie. Cinematography and songs are good.
