It's an interesting series taking you through the stories of world's most notorious dictators. The narration of Peter dinklage is amazing. The only down point is that it just talks a out the first half of the story I mean it only talks about the rise of dictators but not the fall of those dynasties. Otherwise a good watch!

I thought of giving it a shot but it is so painful to see fake personalities of wanna be English people. it's a complete rip off housewife of Beverly hills. it's the worst. Quitting after 10 minutes of watching.

Bollywood should definitely stop making remakes and do some original work. It's silly and mindless movie. When will we raise our standard of film making. Zero stars

Warning : once you start watching it you get hooked and soon you get obsessed. And you feel why you did not watch it earlier. And this show is too good looking. Most gorgeous cast ever. And story is equally compelling. I am crazy for this show. Recommended if you like interesting story lines, have spirits of thrill and supernatural. You won't be disappointed. And yes, I am team Damon. !

Fun.. Kiddy... Entertaining... Perfect....for Sunday afternoon with kids or if you are into relaxing non complex stoeylines This one's for you. It's a straight sequal to the previous one. Personlly speaking I loved it.

Visually oppulant but historically inaccurate I saw the movie last night for the curiosity of finding what the fuss is all about? First if all I would like to say tha film is lavish in every aspect from costumes to sets to casting everything looks grand every where. Bhansali films are like that only and with every film he is just getting more and more grand. The actors have performed brilliantly. Shahid looks like the the godly Hindu king and his queen is also truly gorgeous while we get to see her a little because she is heavily covered all the time with lehnga and jewellery. But any how, in some scenes Deepika performs brilliantly. Ranveer slays as the ruthless khilji, he has given a very heavy weight performance as a villain who is madly self obsessed and brutal and thinks only about himself and his wants. He is so cold hearted that he doesn't even shy away from killing the family. If you're a GOT fan he would remind you of Khao drogo a lot and director has also given him attires and rusty colours like that only and behavior and mannarisms are also stickingly similar but nevertheless, ranveer performs brilliantly. He makes an impact in the movie. While I am not a historian I found it interesting to know the history of it and found some in accuracies which were probably constructed in the name of liberty of cinema. The final battle in which ratan singh loses his life was actually never fought between khilji and ratan singh. It was another king by the name of devpal who was also smitten by padmavati that he tried to aquire her and The battle between ratan singh and him where both lose their life. And finding this opportunity khilji attacks the chittorgarh and then all the events took place. If I am able to find out inaccuracies in the movie I guess historians are somehow correct in their view of moulded facts that are shown in the movie. I am not supporting any one because violence is not a solution I am just pointing out the inaccuracies. So final verdict is, yes you can go and watch the movie to enjoy spectacle and great performances, if not more then you would definitely enjoy it for the first time. Jauhar scene will give you chills. 3/5 stars.
