The Empress of Ayodhaya

Attempting a period drama has always been challenging. Not a lot of attention was paid to filming a detailed war but to internal politics of harem. If i remember correctly a certain cast have been replaced since the official trailer. Ending failed to impress me in a sense. Trailer depicted a coronated queen who struggled and surpassed bonds, whether lawfully or not. Apparently she died alongside her lover in conclusion. Grandeur of femininity bedecked in ruthlessness as in the teaser was not borne by subsequent episodes of the plot. Davika and Film in the main casting was enough for me to venture into this story which showcases a portion of history, altered by the director occasionally. Body language of leading ladies seemed more like a beauty pageant than charismatic royalty. Also their wardrobe and accessories were attention deprived cementing the fact that director is a male. I don't see the requirement to harm animals for filming.
