this movie be underrated and deserve more then the 6 . 8 from the user rating here in imdb . shahrukh khan be totally hot and perfect a asoka and but i do not understand why so many people be say bad thing about the actress kareena kapoor and that in my opinion and be also nice in the role of kaurwaki . well and whatever representasoka be a very beautiful film and with a great cinematography and scenario and clothes . it be also a great epic from the indian movie that deserve to be watch by people of all age and and even not be 100 % faithful about the real asoka life and it be a great adaptation of it . the only two thing i need to complain be represent plus the song and that be not a masterpiece like in lagaan and also doesn not have anything to do with the story of the movie . in most of the indian movie and the song always have lyric about what be happen to the character . in asoka they do not . plus the end of the film . after the tension if kaurwaki and asoka be go to be together or not and the end should show at least a little bit about their life a a noble couple . another thing i miss and be to see the good thing asoka do for his people and like spread the buddhism and do great construction and monument . it would help the end to be good and specially after see such a massive destruction and annihilation . finally and many thing of asoka remembers me another great epic movie call atilla and that be direct by dick lowry represent the way asoka stay angry and start to be a monster and kill everybody after the supposed death of kaurwaki and be very similar of atilla behavior when his wife nkara dy . and kauwarki be undercover and protect by general bheema and remembers me a classic from akira kurosawa and kakushi toride no san akunin and more well know a the hidden fortress and where the general rokurota makabe take care of princess yuki in an identical situation of kauwarki . prince asoka and after leave his kingdom by his mother wish ( since he be be hunt by his own brother ) and fall in love with the beautiful princess kaurwaki . kaurwaki doesn not know he be a prince and but eventually fall in love with him too and spite of the effort of the general to let her safe from everybody and since she and her brother be be hunt by the kallinga traitor . but when asoka return his kingdom to talk with his mother and he doesn not find kaurwaki and thinking that she be kill by the kallinga traitor and he fall into despair and become a brutal emperor .
