    Dont believe false propaganda

    Watch the series like any other series! Not everything has historical significance.. acting cinematography is good. Something never done in indian series Sadly nowadays we judge all shows based on religion.

    We were better.

    Painful to watch

    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.

    Fake Babar, Worst story

    The presentation is awesome but story is not real.

    Cheap Game of thrones

    Dont waste time in watching poorly directed. Acting is below average.
