No doubt to try and portray Mughals as nation builders . I do expect a series on Jehangir,Shah Jehan and Akbar as well. Cinematic Jihad? The Empire is prodcued by Nikhil Advani. The same guy who directed 'patriotic' movies like D Day, Batla House and Airlift. Don't think he has any ulterior agenda like you mentioned. PS: this series is 'lifted' as is from a book authored by a British author Alex Rutherford. nevada 1

maniac Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 16 hours ago, New guy said: Becusse its historical fiction and not history school books. Historical fiction only uses characters in name but are fantasy works. There are a million such historical fictions all over the world, but i have only seen indians crying about it lately Thats because there are no fictional stories where Nazis are glorified as heroes or nation builders. In every historical war movies I have seen Nazis are usually disgusting characters with no moral values whatsoever. I am sure there were at least a couple of Nazi soldiers/ generals who where just regular guys stuck in a rut and being told what to do. That actually is a great idea right there, why don’t you write a script about a fun loving Nazi engineer who took part in building the autobahn and show some Nazis as good guys, let’s see if you can get funding for such a creative project. Free idea, don’t even want credit. Enjoy adi B, nevada, raki05 and 3 others 1 4 1

There was similar outrage in the west, not an Indian trait anyway

The 'stuck in a wrong place at a wrong time and acted as honourably as possible' trope as legal defense and comparative justice of the victors are topics this movie covers in detail. Wether or not law interests you as a subject, this is a *great* movie. Asks valid questions on what is justice. Is retribution masquerading as justice really justice? To what extent can we judge someone guilty by association etc. Edited September 3, 2021 by Mariyam

EnterTheVoid Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Maavi chiguru - 11/10. All the forum's Telugu abbayis and ammayis, if you are able to watch the movie without choking up, let me know. Waterworks in full flow on my end for a solid 2 hours of the 2.5 hours run time. Wow, that was a hard watch Edited September 6, 2021 by EnterTheVoid
EnterTheVoid Posted September 8, 2021 Author Posted September 8, 2021 Mahanati - 12/10. Some of these Telugu movies really are at a different level of excellence.
