Product Description
Asoka traces the life of Emperor Asoka, the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya who ascended the throne of Magadha in the 3rd century BC. To extend the borders of his empire, Asoka waged one of the bloodiest wars in history with neighbouring kingdom of Kalinga, leaving it ravaged and devastated. Confronted by the aftermath of his conquest in which hundreds of thousands lost their life to spreading the teachings of Buddhism across the world. This is a story based on legends. This film does not claim to be a complete historical account of Asoka's life but an attempt to follow his journey.

Synopsis
An epic tale of one of the greatest rulers of India, ASOKA is a testament to the redemptive power of love. Asoka inherited India's throne in third century B.C. The Indian dynasty was poised to conquer the entire peninsula and the king began his reign by leading the charge. However, the emperor found greater meaning in the love of two women and was soon transformed, renouncing warfare and adopting the principles of the Buddha. His leadership was . This 2001 Indian biopic of the peaceful leader is a work of great political and dramatic significance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE., 30 Jan 2009
From Santosh Sivan, the maker of The Terrorist, this really a masterpiece, having been made about 10 years ago, without all the computer gimmickry & special effects for the fights scenes.
Leaves such a powerful impact on you after the last scenes, it's difficult to get over it.

What's really special is that it's inspired and based on true events. Teaches a thing or two to the so-called modern men about the destructive nature of violence; the end does not necessarily justify the means.

And needless to say about the underlying love story; you'll feel it to your core for days...if course you've got a heart; I did, even the stonehearted/heartless man that I supposedly am!
