L'impero

Well, let me begin by saying I started watching this series with zero expectations. Given the really low opinion everyone else here has, it was really a chance I took to start watching. And boy! Was I blown away! I have yet to see an indian series with such production values. The story is fictional of course. Based on Alex Rutherford's book by the sane name, this work of fiction is just that! It's great fun to watch. The charatcers are all well etched. I was pleasently surprised by Dino Morea's acting. Also worth mentioning is Drashti Dhami. She brings grace and beauty to her role.

I'm definitely going to be waiting for Season 2!

I gave it 4/10 purely based on the audio visual parameters. From an historical and factual pov it's a 0/10 . Same old blind sympathizing act towards your perpetrators. I would have enjoyed it if this show actually portrayed what Babur did to the people whome he ruled , What his preachings actually were along with the obvious gagging celebratory scenes of him doing something heinous and us clapping. But yeah ... Guess that's bollywood eh . Can't expect more 😅

Did not like the ending at all, don't like such endings.

Two stars only for Kunal Kapoor because I respect him as an actor, otherwise everything about this show is cringey. Especially as a Hindu and a history buff, knowing what Babur and his progeny did to my ancestors and my heritage, seeing such monsters being glorified left me angry and disappointed. Don't recommend this show to anyone.

This series was excellently done; right from direction to costumes.. this is a good way to get a glimpse and learn about History!
