I'd include 'The Pacific' as well, same team which produced BoB. Both the miniseries are fantastic. Stradlater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very well shot and acted movie but it did not need a 'certain' plot-line at all Spoiler The 'certain' plot line being the stupid-a$$ 'love in the midst of death' angle between the 3 main characters. We did not need that one bit. ARGH!#(! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradlater Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Enemy at the gates was a massive letdown. Such a powerful premise that it could have been one of the greatest war movies ever made and they squandered everything to melodramatics and Bollywoodesque romance.

Stradlater Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 @Muloghonto India has such a rich historical past. If given a chance to make a movie on any past subject, which event would you choose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A movie on the Kannauj triangle that shows the intricacies of geo-strategic politics, culture, historical interaction, etc. would be a big one. Though there are lots of scope to take artistic liberties or ignore various angles, as its a very 'in-flux moment' of Indian history. Would do a better movie on Chandragupta Maurya.

Kannauj triangle is better suited for a tv show. Inclusion of Arabs will make it even more grander. Imagine a battle scene featuring Battle of Rajasthan when combined Rajput confederacy defeated Caliphate forces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though its a topic best left alone for India now - as it can create regionalistic fervor etc in Indians of today, if we start to show the part where the 'prime power' of the Kannauj era, aka Rashtrakutas, actively aided & supported the Sindh-Multan Caliphate rule, by squeezing their 'frontier enemy', the Gurjaras (aka predecessors to the Rajput confederacy).

Rashtrakutas did help Rajputs against various Ummayad campaigns though. That was an era of changing political alliances. So much for joint Hindu resistance to Arabs lol.
