Taj divided by blood is a historical drama show directed by ron scalpello.
Naseeruddin shah and aashim gulati are the two bright spots in the otherwise dull acting department. Both of them bring the fragile yet compassionate male presence in the show. Taha shah badussha kept screaming throughout, making it unbearable to watch him. Only scene invloving him providing me comfort is when he asks and contemplates about what he needs to do to gain akbar's praise. Aditi rao hydari has been mostly wasted in the show. None of the other characters infuse life into the characters.
The writing treats the characters as pieces and not humans. Daniyal's mother problems could have been so meticulously designed giving him so much depth but alas! The plot twist surrounding this does work well though. Murad was almost devoid of any emotion other than rage and screams. The screenplay is entertaining no doubt but is not engaging and nuanced. The middle episodes are stretched without much substance which give the feel of a soap opera.
The set and production design is marvellous. The palace and locations can transport you in the medieval india. The action set pieces are very loud and amateurishly staged. The vfx work is patchy here and there.
The dialogues are well written and interpreted. It could have been more effective if the characters saying them had a better dialogue delivery. The cinematography looks monotonous and stifled.
The show highlights the frailties and faults of the mughal dynasty quite successfully. Familial feuds were a common occurrence in most of the dynasties, especially in the mughal family. The concept of harem and multiple wives have been criticised heavily through slight pokes. The mughals used the rajputs as their source of false sense of integrity, using them as cover for their barbarism and social weddings. Maharana pratap has been cherished in this series. Akbar was the most lenient of the mughal rulers, and he really thought about the hindus but bound by his surrounding barbaric muslim courtsmen, he could not do much.
The background score is grand and pushes the show towards its good. The strings, and operal sounds work well in favour of the show.

I can't stress enough how highly I recommend the Divided by Blood series to you, Taj. All through the explanation, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next surprising development. Each of the characters is well out and easy to follow. In reading Taj: Divided by Blood, I felt as though I were actually on Taj the whole time. In particular, the writing in the action sequences is quite good. This fantastic action-adventure picture should be seen by everyone. The stunning visual effects elevate the story to a new level. Fabulous series. I can't stress enough how highly I recommend the Divided by Blood series to you, Taj.

I recommend everyone to watch this epic masterpiece series like any other series!
Acting, Cinematography, Story, Direction, Costume designing, background score, Lighting, Set, is all brilliant.
It has all the elements on right place. Naseeruddin Shah is the heart of this Series.
After a very long time, there comes a great series from India.
Something never done in indian series till date.
Sadly nowadays we judge all the shows and movies based on religion.
I don't know Why people just don't accept their history as it is. If you don't like history just go back in time and change it.
My rating is 8/10.
Go for it, don't miss it at any cost.

The performers really bring the characters to life. One of my all-time favorite book series is the Divided by Blood books by Taj. World-building-wise, Taj: Divided by Blood does a fantastic job, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the tale. The central concept of Taj: Divided By Blood is something new and has never been tried before. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how wonderful Taj: Divided By Blood is. In and of itself, this is a work of art. The unexpected twists and turns in Taj: Divided By Blood kept me on my toes right up to the very end. The performers really bring the characters to life.

Dharmendra Ji, a legendary figure in Bollywood, makes his debut in this movie. Seeing him perform is well worth your time, even if nothing else. Naseeruddin Shah is notable for his easy charm and sense of style in addition to Dharmendra. Now, this series is receiving nothing but positive reviews on the internet. Although storytelling isn't bad, it might be. A must-see, but not for everyone, for lovers of Naseeruddin Shah and Dharmendra. Although it is true that Bollywood films based on the Mughal Empire are more concerned with show than with accuracy, you may still have fun while watching them.
