  Asoka isn't quite a flop. It isn't a bad movie either - but it just can't beat Lagaan. Lagaan was really one of a kind - something that will go down in history as truly a classic.

  i think santosh sivan cud have done a much better job - asoka could have been something like braveheart or gladiator, but i think it crashed. too much bollywoody sing-songs some of which seem to be completely out of place (the fantasy sequence) - unlike in lagaan where all the music flowed with the story narrative, didn't stick out so badly. lagaan had a much better storyline and i think cast as well.

  I think both movies were truely brilliant in their own rights.
  
  Lagaan - what a story, i watched the movie probably about 70 times. perfect casting, perfect music (no one can beat A.R.Rahman).
  
  Asoka - amazing story (its almost the real story of Asoka). cast was well chosen. I have never seen cinematogrophy like that. It is right up there with Hollywood, or maybe even better. Look at the picturaziation, truely magnificiant. My fav. part was when Arya falls to his knees and there is arrows in his back, it raised the hairs on the back of my neck.
  
  I say both movies should go to the Oscars.
  
  And i think Gauri Singh (Gracy Singh) deserves more recognition then what she has recieved. She is an extremely sweet girl.
