Prince Asoka (Shahrukh Khan), heir to the Magadha Kingdom, bowing to his mother's (Shilpa Mehta) demand forsakes his princely status and goes to live in the wild for awhile. There he meets and falls in love with Kaurwaki (Kareena Kapoor). He identifies himself as Pawan, not wanting to disclose his identity yet. Asoka has to return to Magadha, but when he returns to find and wed Kaurwaki, he is told by Bheema (Rahul Dev) that Kaurwaki and her brother Arya have been killed. Devastated Asoka returns home. On the way home he is attacked and Devi (Hrishitaa Bhatt), of the Buddhist faith rescues him and tends to him till he gets well. As a result, Devi's marriage to her groom is cancelled. Asoka weds her and brings her to Magadha, only to be told by his father that since Devi is not of the same race as he, she cannot be welcomed. Asoka leaves with Devi and lives in Ujjaini. Soon Devi gets pregnant, and this arouses jealously and hatred amongst Asoka's step-brothers. As a result they plot to kill Devi, however, their plans are foiled by Asoka's mother, who is killed. Asoka swears to avenge his mother's death by killing his step-brothers one by one, except for one, who has led to Kalinga. Asoka asks the ruler of Kalings to turn over his step-brother to him, and they refuse. Asoka swears to raze Kalinga to the ground. Asoka is unstoppable. Even his close friend, Virat (Danny Denzongpa), too, is unable to stop Asoka. Asoka proceeds to war, little knowing that the queen of Kalinga is none other than Kaurwaki, who is still alive.

Amateur at best. Mr. Khan's acting is extreamly cringy and does not do justice to such an iconic historical character, Totally avoidable crassy old formula Bollywood (who ever invented that funny term called Bollywood)

Only songs and kareena's looks are something to watch in this movie. Remaing scenery is too boring, I must say. (3/5 satrs)

Ashoka had a great courage. His story is a combination of ROMANCE, BRAVERY, TRAGEDY, COMEDY, MYSTERY. It's a great idea of the film producer to have thought of a production like this.. I think Ashoka's story is the best life story any Emperor of INDIA ever had.. lf you are a history lover like me then please watch it at least once in your life I love it . I became a great FAN of ASHOKA as well as SHAHRUKH KHAN😅😅😂😂.
