Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
rutambhtrivedi I thought It will be Great, There are so many things Missing! From Episode 1 to 4 (/6) They Only Coverd South India, I think They were finding Culture of India Because those People even Today's Generation Follow that Very Well But They didn't Covered The Yoga ,The Different foods Of India, The Natural Beauty Of India, The Beautiful Difference in Our Languages (They Covered Sanskrit very Well Though), Rather Taking Different Part Of India They took Pakistan! There is a reason for that but I don't think It was Necessary! They also didn't Covered Different Festivals Of India! They should have Covered History of India More But They didn't! Overall its Good! But Research Was not very well!
Bipin Bhosale The Story shows real history of India. Not from the books taught in the school all over the country. The voice and face expression of Micheal Wood is fantastic and heart touching. Its the Real History of India. Specially the Part of Buddhism and Chandragupta Mourya is very informative. The culture followed since so many years. The belief of people. Why do they believe in reincarnation. "Ages of Gold" - mind blowing "Freedom and Liberation" - its focuses on stories unheard by the Indians till date. Go buy a DVD right now. Its a must collection item. I have enjoyed every scene of this documentary and strongly recommend it.
Ratan Tata a) Amazing never seen visuals. b) Powerful all engaging presentation.c) A honest interest in the subject of India. d) On location shooting of the narrative subject matter. e) Great background score.f) Balanced and well researched topics, which have lessons for world as a whole.I can go on listing points of greatness of this great work. Wish Michael Wood was my history teacher! I would have definitely majored in History.If you really want to experience 'time travel' don't watch science fiction movies... just watch this series, you will be amazed. Take my word for it.
Mangesh Soni Dear Readers,I started with the first episode with a little doubt in mind that " how it would be to see my own home through the eyes of others" but no doubt it was excellent.Michael Woods style of presenting and his vast experience in filming would never distract you throughout the episode, he would travel across the nations to reveal about a subject and research it vastly.Besides that all the participants behind the scenes were equally complimenting each other in their respective areas. The background score changes with the demand of scene which really is commendable.Being an Indian, I myself enjoyed the series and a very good experience to know more about my own home. A Must watch.... from me.
