The film is a story of India in the 1550s. The time of the Mogul rulers when, kings walked the soil and fought battles to expand their kingdom. In the midst of this, is an Emperor who has been raised to conquer, with the elders around him making all his decisions. Then one fine day when he decides to make his own decisions, he decides to accept a proposal to marry a Rajput princess. No big deal you say, except the man is a Mogul king, a Muslim. Now don’t expect a modern day drama about how this is un-acceptable. Instead what we get here is a nice story about how secularism was so much more evident in that era than it is now. The story resolves around how betrayal and greed, and also a small dose of fanaticism is overcome by love and secularism.
