All the hype `n` hoopla that Asoka created was before the movie released. The sensuous Kareena posing and with the mighty Shah Rukh baring his chest did wonders to arouse curiosity and tantalise one`s senses.

But much to everyone`s disappointment the movie achieved nothing that the hoardings did expect for dampening the audiences spirits. However the in foreign markets the movie did create a stir if not a hullabaloo amongst the audiences, so the producers decided to send the movie to the overseas centres where it hasn`t been released yet. In fact based on the public reaction here, some scenes have been trimmed and one song deleted before it is sent overseas.

Must say the King `Asoka` and his subjects are trying real hard to make this work one way or the other, well, if not for the movie they certainly deserve a pat on their back for all their efforts...what say?
