The Empire

The presentation is awesome but story is not real.

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!

Two stars only for Kunal Kapoor because I respect him as an actor, otherwise everything about this show is cringey. Especially as a Hindu and a history buff, knowing what Babur and his progeny did to my ancestors and my heritage, seeing such monsters being glorified left me angry and disappointed. Don't recommend this show to anyone.

In the name of real history they just spread agenda of their own imagination .

Maybe 5% percent of truth. You can compare With history book and empirical evidence but this series is just opposite of all the facts.

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.
