Indian cinema has an old tradition of films based on historical and cultural symbols, but actor Paresh Rawal’s new film “The Taj Story” can be called a different and courageous step in this direction. The film not only tells the story of the Taj Mahal, but also delves deeper into the history, myth and controversy behind it.

gist of the story

The story of the film revolves around an archaeologist Dr. Raghuveer Mehta (Paresh Rawal), who sets out on a mission to find out the truth about the history of the Taj Mahal. His research raises many questions which have been the subject of discussion among Indian society and historians for years. The film shows how a monument is not just a marble building, but a ‘raj’ wrapped in layers of power, love, politics and faith.

Direction and presentation

Director Alok Nath Sharma has tried to present historical research in an entertaining manner. The cinematography of the film is superb – especially the spectacular scenes of the Taj Mahal. The film, shot in Agra, Delhi and Jaipur, also shows the conflict of ideas between the old and new generations in detail.

The film’s narrative doesn’t feel like a documentary; It has a good mix of mystery, emotions and social dialogue. Although the story slows down a bit in the second half, the dialogues keep the audience engaged.

acting and character

Paresh Rawal once again proved that he can play any character with depth. His role as Dr Raghuveer Mehta is restrained and impressive – a man who has the courage to touch the layers of history, even if it means getting into controversies.

In the film, Swara Bhaskar is seen as a journalist, who tries to take Raghuveer’s mission to the public through media. At the same time, actors like Rajesh Sharma and Annu Kapoor have also strengthened the story with their characters.

Music and technical side

The background score of the film adds more depth to the mystery and tension. Composer Amit Trivedi has captured the emotional rhythm of the story even in limited tunes. The editing is tight, which maintains the seriousness of the subject.

Does the film create controversy?

The film directly questions historical facts, but it does not reach any conclusion. Instead, it forces viewers to think about how we understand history — based on facts or traditions. This is its biggest strength.
