The Empire

Dont waste time in watching poorly directed. Acting is below average.

Well, let me begin by saying I started watching this series with zero expectations. Given the really low opinion everyone else here has, it was really a chance I took to start watching. And boy! Was I blown away! I have yet to see an indian series with such production values. The story is fictional of course. Based on Alex Rutherford's book by the sane name, this work of fiction is just that! It's great fun to watch. The charatcers are all well etched. I was pleasently surprised by Dino Morea's acting. Also worth mentioning is Drashti Dhami. She brings grace and beauty to her role.

I'm definitely going to be waiting for Season 2!

The presentation is awesome but story is not real.

I gave it 4/10 purely based on the audio visual parameters. From an historical and factual pov it's a 0/10 . Same old blind sympathizing act towards your perpetrators. I would have enjoyed it if this show actually portrayed what Babur did to the people whome he ruled , What his preachings actually were along with the obvious gagging celebratory scenes of him doing something heinous and us clapping. But yeah ... Guess that's bollywood eh . Can't expect more 😅

When you are using historical names try to be real. Mixing fiction with real names is really irritating to watch. Mughals were not Urdu speaking and from steppes while we have Babur with good height and Arab kinda looks, really funny. Apart from grand scale everything fails be it acting which is too loud, be it dialogues which are too filmy for mature viewers and distrubing background score. Don't waste your time.
