'The Rising'

Although it is not in our period, I would recommend the new Bollywood epic 'The Rising' for anyone who wants a light film to see. In terms of history it scores 0%. In terms of colour, gyrating bodies, marching regiments, exotic women, great music and dramatic over-acting it scores 100%. Also amusing to spot the historical and practical howlers - such as when the hero shoots himself to avoid capture (after potting four British officers in 10 seconds with a single Brown Bess at 500 yards). Pity his gun has no flint and the bassinet is open! Verdict: rivals 'The Adventures of Gerard' for being worst but most fun history film.
