Standard Screen; Additional Footage; English Subtitles 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. This 2001 Indian biopic of the peaceful leader is a work of great political and dramatic significance. Asoka Reviews: "...The cast is exemplary. Bollywood heart-throb Shah Rukh Khan is excellent....Enthralling..."
-- Rachel Dwyer, Sight and Sound "...A sprawling widescreen historical epic laced with Bollywood musical numbers, melodramatic romance, spectacular locations and violent battle scenes....Khan cuts a dashing figure as a soulful hunk..."
-- David Rooney, Variety

Asoka Movie Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Best of Bollywood
Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor's performances, along with an excellently written script, make Asoka the best Bollywood movie I've ever seen. The drama; music; choreography; and pagentry of this film, plus it's surprise climax, will pull at your heart strings like a master puppeteer.
This majestic epic is a must-see, especially for those unfamiliar with bollywood films.

This is just another cheap entertainment from India which does not intend to define/redefine or depict the history of the times of Asoka nor does it contribute a bit to the Art of Cinema. total waste of time.

worst historical movie ever made
this is what happens when you make a period movie with 21st century gestures and body language and have no idea or clue of the history.less than average performance by the cast drives the last nail.not worth watching.

The lovely Milla Jovovitch is back with a vengeance as amnesiac, genetically-altered zombie ass-kicker, Alice, in this sequel to the 2002 hit film, which is based on the video game. This time around the sinister Umbrella Corporation sends a team of investigators into their destroyed underground lab (the ground-zero of carnage in the previous film) and unwittingly unleash the still-staggering zombies and monsters out into the population of Raccoon City. Soon Umbrella has evacuated all of their own key employees and has shut everyone else inside to be devoured. A mastermind chemist's daughter gets left behind in the confusion, and she is the one ticket out for Alice and a handful of dwindling survivors, including the equally hot, skimpily dressed, and almost-as-tough lady cop, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). There's some nifty motorcycle riding, plenty of bullets and splattering blood, and even a new monster--the hulking, heavily-armored, seriously ugly Nemesis. Comic actor Mike Epps is great as a pimped-out hustler who handles the whole dead-coming-back-to-life thing with cool nonchalance. In some ways, this nonstop creep show is even an improvement over the original, with a pervasive mood of nihilistic corporate dehumanization adding extra concern about the future of civilization to the mix of shooting, dying, punching, and munching.
Alice is back and forced to face off against an unstoppable bio-engineered killing machine ...
