Chakravartin Ashok Samrat is a show aired on colors from February 2nd, 2015. As of today 29th of january a total of 264 episodes have been aired.
The show very nicely represents the history of king ashoka right from his childhood and the hardships he had to face in becoming the king of patliputra( modern day patna) .
The role of ashoka played by siddharth nigam has made justice to his role by his acting skills which we already had seen in the film dhoom 3.
The show doesnot show exact situations as in the history but the writer shows his version with dramatizations to show on the indian television. The show at times becomes boring as a particular situation is kept on for weeks and becomes like those daily soaps in indian telvision where a person takes 1 full episode to walk a distance of 10 steps or tell someone some secret. Overeall the show is watchable fir people who have an interest in history otherwise its not ever serialistic or something for others to watch. Acting skills for main actors are good but the side actors or the army inducted for shooting look dumb without any energy and thus the show doesnot have the energy of what a kingdom history show should have.
