Like beautiful women dressed in clothes worth more than a GDP of a small country? Like men with more jewelry than a pimp on the strut? Like war elephants and sabers and homicidal, power hungry families? How about Mughal Emperors involved in doomed and tragic love affairs?

Then Taj Mahal is the movie for you.

This Bollywood movie is coming out in November and I am quite looking forward to it, because unless the stills are utter fabrication, whatever the script or the acting, this story about Shah Jehan's love for Mumtaz Mahal is going to look incredible.



If it takes too long to load, let me know and I'll post multiple smaller posts

Princeguy reminds me of somebody but I can't put my finger on it.

The facial expression in these are so amusing:

Unfortunately, the name "Taj Mahal" makes me think of Donald Trump.
I love elephants! Have you ever seen a baby elephant? They are seriously some of the most adorable things on earth.

I know, but it still makes me think of Donald Trump. Believe me, I really would rather think of the landmark in India.

I just love the sheer opulence of this. I mean, it makes Devdas look modest!

These sets are disgustingly lavish. (By which I mean they're gorgeous.)

Heh. I am watching this even if it turns out that the script it atrocious and no one acts, because...who cares, when the thing looks this gorgeous!

Those ARE gorgeous set designs and costumes.

NO WAY, is that Manisha?! Is this like her first in movie in like, forever?

Thanks for the pics dangermousie. They about killed your photobucket account righ?

I don't know but some of these stills remind me of an epic period Spanish soap opera--set in India!

I have a paid photobucket account for a reason :P

Yeah, Manisha hasn't been in anything for a while. A pity, since I think she is a wonderful actress!
