Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat

"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.

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.

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 audience.it should be avoided.Some character are not interesting.

So I'd recommend that people watch this historical drama for Siddharth Nigam and the special effects of the show.

Thank you for reading

Just start watching it You will definitely love it.

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. Mean-while; Bindusara is ruling the vast Mauryan Empire. The show later-on focuses on the life of young Ashoka; who gets guidance from Chanakya in tough circumstances.While on the other hand; a game of conquering the entire empire is being played by Helena and the Empresses of Bindusara- Charumitra and Noor. Meanwhile Chanakya along with Radhagupta and his other disciples are busy in protecting the throne of Magadha from the evil and corrupt practices done by Helena and the other enemies of Magadha. Acting of Siddarth Nigam is really excellent. The music tracks and background songs are divine. This TV show teaches us lot of morals. Acharya Chanakya's lessons are worth enough to study. Magadha Kingdom is very beautiful. This help us a lot to know about real Indian history. Every Asian must watch this wonderful historical TV show.

There have been so many historical themed shows on Indian television but none has been so unrealistic. First and foremost the makers have only misused the name of one of the greatest emperors of India - Samraat Ashoka. The story of the show is not only historically inaccurate but also far more fictional than even Hatim Tai or other imaginary folk tales. The makers of show didn't bother to research the life of Ashoka the great and inserted characters and events processed in their own minds. eg. Ashoka was born in the Mauryan Palace and lived there as a child along with his mother Dharma but in the show young Ashoka and his mother live in a countryside village. Creators have failed to maintain chronological consistency as well. eg. Emperor Chandragupta Maurya was alive until Ashoka was about 7 years old but in the show he is shown to be dead long ago.

Secondly, the writers have failed to write the characters and the storyline, which even if not true to history, could have been true to rationality. Things like occult and black magic, immunity to lethal venom, masked vigilante etc. have been unnecessarily added and tend to take the story away from reality. Yet the story is boring and predictable and moves ahead in a sloppy manner.

Apart from these major anomalies in the story, casting and production value are not impressive at all. Siddharth Nigam needs to be lauded for his portrayal of young Ashoka. Sameer Dharmadhikari and Manoj Joshi have played Emperor Bindusara and Chanakya respectively and both have done their job quite well. They are the saving grace of the show. Other actors are not good enough. Set is commendable and costumes are good though not authentic. The presentation of characters, however, is heavily inspired from popular TV series Game Of Thrones. eg. Sushima resembles Prince Joffery Baratheon, Dastaan resembles Khal Drogo etc. VFX is below average. Fight sequences are exaggerated as seen in a lot of contemporary movies but the show's creators are clever enough to utilize the agility and athletic prowess of Siddharth Nigam, who is a national level gold medalist in gymnastics.

Also, the show is biased towards Ashoka and Sushima is portrayed as sadistic and narcissistic. Actually, Ashoka was a much more fierce and ruthless warrior than Sushima since childhood, as evident from the historical records of that period.

The show gets 1 star for casting Siddharth Nigam, Sameer Dharmadhikari and Manoj Joshi in their respective roles and another star for beautiful set design. Had it been a mythological show, creative liberties could have been granted to a vast extent. But with a historical show there are limitations over creative liberties. The show has everything except truth. This show may appeal to some people who love cheesy entertainment. But if you hope to obtain knowledge about Emperor Ashoka's life you will be disappointed. Old TV Shows like The Sword Of Tipu Sultan, Bharat - Ek Khoj, Chanakya, The Great Maratha etc. have set a benchmark in historical drama genre which yet another show of the new generation fails to attain.

Very inspirational show I respect for Ashoka who made our emblem Ashok chakra He is the best king in the world ever I respect him very much .
