ASOKA: K-K-Kaurwaki?
ASOKA: K-K-Kaurwaki?
ASOKA is a simple tale of sibling rivalry at its most heinous in a battle for the throne, filial duty, plus boy-meets-girl/boy-loses-girl etc, and how a conqueror realizes he has gained nothing by his brutality, and thereafter embarks on a journey of self-realisation and redemption through peace and Buddhism.A simple tale, but made complex by mind-boggling logistics (600 horses, 50 elephants, 6,000 extras together on the battlefield), thought-provoking themes and lyrical cinematography loaded with symbolism and mystique.

Arclightz & Filmz’ Asoka is a fictionalised account of the eventful part of the life of the legendary Indian emperor, Ashoka. Grandson of Chandragupt Maurya, Ashoka ascended the throne of Magadha in 3rd century B.C. In his quest for power and more power, he waged one of the bloodiest battles ever with the neighbouring kingdom of Kalinga, killing thousands of innocent people. When realisation dawned upon him about the futility of such power, he renounced the path of war and embraced Buddhism to spread the message of peace across the world. It is this reality about the life of Ashoka that’s...more
