But he's got a wealth of material and a fabulous cast.....Asoka" is rated R for scenes of violent warfare (swordplay, arrow fire, hand-to-hand combat and even some slapstick), gore, some extremely suggestive dance moves and some mildly vulgar humor.....As good as Khan is, it's the riveting Kapoor who commands attention;....And Sivan's peculiar staging of the action scenes ensures.... ...

Furious Asoka vows to avenge the killing of his beloved.....Confronted by the aftermath of his conquest, in which thousands lost their lives, Asoka renounced the path of war....Santosh Sivan's direction and cinematography is sleek and polished....As one of the most expensive films made in the recent times "Asoka" is brilliant in patches but not in its entirety.....Sivan seems to have taken a lot of cinematic liberty to intersperse the commercial ingredients in the otherwise average story..... ...

The movie has an interesting star cast.
A sensual Kareena Kapoor looking dazzling like never before.

Shadows on the Wall
Everything about this film is great fun--and if you warm to the style and feel of it all, it's surprisingly moving too.
The story is terrific, and extremely well told by director-cowriter Sivan (The Terrorist).
