Key Points
That Ron Scalpello has chosen an ensemble of fresh and (nearly) forgotten names for his series Taj- Divided By Blood is its biggest asset and most crippling liability..
And its always arresting to witness seasoned performers like Dharmendra and Naseeruddin Shah (Their Tahalka is still a guilty pleasure)..
Right in the first episode, a sword fighting scene is mostly shot by top angles and side angles to maybe deviate from the lack of intensity in the actors demeanor..
Rahul Bose, the evil Mirza Hakim puts his best sword forward, but the glaring inconsistencies in the visual effects and those inevitable comparisons act as major hurdles..
The first episode ends on an almost haunting note, the camera zooms straight into the gleam in Anarkalis (Hydari) eyes when she overhears the conversation between Salim and Jodha..
