i have never see lot of indian movie . monsoon wedding be my one and only and in fact . this be a great film to follow up with . it definately offer viewer a style of movie which isn not as familiar a typical hollywood production . while monsoon wedding be a great film and it be in a format i be comfortable with . while asoka give me something new . the muscial accompaniment have me and at first and shake my head and think what in the world . but now i can not imagine the film without it . the score be compel and i now own both the dvd and the soundtrack and lol . if you want something off the beaten track . something purely ethnic and not just a hollywood production with minority player represent give asoka a chance . no and it may not be historically correct and but that wasn not the purpose of this movie . it for pure entertainment and enjoyment and it succeed very well in bring both to the screen .
