LOL, he is limited as an actor and host IMO. I've seen his arrogance develop especially when he joined rangeela and did shows for the same channel. 😆

He really is. Haven't seen him host, but as an actor he was terribly stiff and lacked that conviction. Then I saw him in another Colors TV show (after matsh ended) and realized he hadn't improved at all. But he seems to be in good books of EK, so he's being given loads of content to work on.

Just finished up watching the web series, I see what you meant by the glorification factor. Being a brute vs his human side now.

One thing this web series culminated was that this throne usurption was a never ending saga that Babur faced, and the cycle has repeated with Kamran declaring his rivalry with Humayun. I guess, it ultimately boils down to how subjective historical facts are and the roles they donned. There was a small mention of Babur welcoming as the emperor of Hindustan but they didn't boil down to the fact whether he was a brute against non-Muslims or women. It was solely focused on political affairs and giving charge to the throne based on experience, characterization more than bloodline. Speaking of bloodline, it was also talked about how bitter and sweet bloodline could be in terms of ultimately usurping the throne.

Though after episode 5, I did feel that the plotline became more predictable in terms of establishing the Mughal empire thus I felt it was a theek-thaak web series. Not the best

There were several distortions such as age difference between Babur's son, cunning side of Khanzada (in the show, they were portraying this factor something Khanzada picked up from her grandmother thus anything for the bloodline, even if it means going against her husband), the shrewd side of Kamran's mother Gulrukh, significance of Mahham as someone alien from the royal bloodline, etc. But, would say it is worth watch for entertainment purpose though the storyline becomes more predictable and easily moves into the 18 year leap.

This is what I meant. If it's an okayish series, then cool, and it will be forgotten soon. I just wished people rated this series low, so they'll get message that people will watch movies like Shershah (which had no propaganda whatsoever and the purpose of the movie was to tell the story), whereas here it seems to be an effort to humanize the tyrants. I won't be surprised if a series on Aurangzeb is made, and Audrey Truschke and Devdutt Patnaik will dance together in glee.

Aurangzeb would be more in for controversy, that too if Truschke, Pattnaik, just like Manoj Muntashir is facing right now. 😆

Not really low but I'd say average tbh. There were good moments, there were bad moments. Eh with Shershah, I just found the military visuals decent though Kiara was annoying lol. 😂

No, what I mean is that we just don't need Mughal Kings glorification. Our textbooks have done that enough. Jodha Akbar and the romanticism of Humayun, etc., on the name of entertainment seriously needs to stop. No jew ever finds the idea of glorification of Hitler fascinating. It's just downplaying centuries of brutality and cruelty against Indians.

I loved Shershah! The movie is closer to the actual events and doesn't stray from the main narrative. No false propaganda, no demeaning of the army, and no lies on the name of the creative freedom. No wonder a lot of critics think it's a bad movie when Veere Di Wedding and ADHM got decent ratings from them. 😂

Oh, I'd much rather the people bullying Manoj Muntashir prove him wrong factually and logically instead of going about their way. Bet they can't prove him wrong coz he's totally right. It's just these people can't digest the truth.

Kitne dino baad??!!
