aka: Aŝoka the Great / aka: Samrat Aŝoka
An Indian historical drama with a hefty dose of artistic licence thrown into its story. Shah Rukh Khan plays the legendary Emperor, who eventually ruled most of India, and as was often the case throughout the 90s and 00s he’s the best thing in the film. He's perfect as the dutiful son, the humble lover, the merciless leader, and the passionate traveller. It may seem like a long haul from start to finish if you're not familiar with the Bollywood formula, but by the time the credits roll parts of it'll be burned into your mind.
