This is a list of historical (set pre-1800) or historical-fantasy films produced by Asian countries from 1949 until the present day - including Bollywood and martial arts pictures.

The list is alphabetical using the most common English titles (where applicable), so the IMDb titles may appear to be all over the place alphabetically.

This list is certainly far from complete and a work in progress, so I would welcome any suggestions of titles I may have omitted.

I have included a few additional titles at the end of the main list which bear some relevance to the subject.

There were a number of Asian titles, at least 10, mostly Indian and Pakistani, for which I was unable to find matching IMDb pages, and which are therefore not included.

I will be updating the list regularly with new and expanded reviews and any new titles that I may discover.

This list is a companion piece to my other lists:  Peplum Paradise Part 1: Italian Historical and Fantasy films 1949-1969 (http://www.imdb.com/list/9zpI-Wdt6pU/),  Peplum Paradise Part 2: Italian Historical and Fantasy films from 1970 onwards (http://www.imdb.com/list/ZRRuOUh_u_o/)  and Peplum Paradise Part 3: International Historical and Fantasy films 1949 onwards (http://www.imdb.com/list/R3yu3z-zETE/) Peplum Paradise Part 5: Animated Historical and Fantasy films 1949 onwards (http://www.imdb.com/list/XHCOctNtVqg/)

Peplum Paradise Part 4: Asian Historical and Fantasy films 1949 onwards.

Unfortunately, a lot of movies that I would like to put on this list are not on IMDB, and I found difficulty in getting the information needed to put them onto IMDB.  This list is not remotely completed yet.
