Mean-while Bindusara is ruling the vast Mauryan Empire.
#MAHARANA PRATAP 11TH NOVEMBER 2015 TV#
This is the best Historical TV show on the planet so far.The story starts with Chanakya who recently had a dream in which Chandragupta Maurya (in the form of a lion) appeared and foretold him about the danger approaching the Mauryan Empire.
Don't know where Indian Television is going? Don't waste your watching this show, especially if you think that by watching this show you might clear your History Exam My rating to this show is in Minus, I mean below ZERO. And the great thing is that they won't find an adult version of ashoka because as Contilloe have their legacy that they never show adult version of the lead character, all adventures are experienced by the teenage and child version. They are also showing that Kaurvaki was his first wife whom he met during his teenage, which is purely contrary to history as he already had two wives before Kaurvaki and the character called Kichak is purely fictitious as there is no record about this guy. The show has shown that he was born in a forest and not in the palace and that his father (Bindusara) didn't knew about Ashoka was his son. They are showing Ashok as some child prodigy who is doing gymnastics all the time. (which make shows like Maharana Pratap and Jhansi ki rani, all being inaccurate to history) has done no research about Ashok. Thank you for readingīeing a history student i have read about Mauryan empire and of course about Ashoka all the time but this show as i know is created by Contilloe Ent. So I'd recommend that people watch this historical drama for Siddharth Nigam and the special effects of the show.
But Also there is a lot of scope for improvement.First of all ,some time the show drag the track so lengthy that it bored all should be avoided.Some character are not interesting. As we know the representation of the historical story is challenge for every show and movie.I think the the makers of the show are doing good job.Script is good.the twist given in story is also good attempt.But the best part of show is the visual effect.What I liked though is the visuals and the diligence that has been put in the show by the special effects and VFX team is brilliant. "chakravartin Ashok Samrat" is one of the finest show in the Indian historical genre.It is no doubt Siddharth Nigam fully justifies the main character "ashoka".He set high level foe that lead character.But Chanakya was also a good part of show.Manoj joshi gave a power pack performance.
