WORLD'S MOST INFAMOUS DIAMOND KOHINOOR GETTING ITS OWN EPIC TV SAGA BASED ON A BOOK BY WILLIAM DALRYMPLE! SBS UNVEILS ITS MOST AMBITIOUS EPIC TV SERIES EVER NEW GOLD MOUNTAIN

  KOH-I-NOOR DIAMOND  

GETTING ITS OWN TV SERIES

Koel Purie Rinchet is producing!

Earlier this summer I announced that William Dalrymple's THE ANARCHY book on the rise of the East India company will be turned into a TVseries and now another of his books KOHINOOR: The History Of World's Most Infamous Diamond, written together with Anita Anand, will get a series adaptation too by 185 Carat Films from Mumbai! The book describes the winding true story of the Indian diamond, the 27th largest in the world, which is currently part of the British Crown Jewels. The precious stone changed hands between various factions in south and west Asia, until being ceded to Queen Victoria after the British annexation of the Punjab in 1849. The diamond has inspired much folklore over the decades and has become a

Dalrymple's Anarchy is also becoming a series

symbol of power as it passed from one royal to another. 

 

    This famous and cursed diamond wreaked untold devastation as it was viciously ripped from one royal hand to another. It has ended up in its final home, the Tower of London, after being gruesomely wrested from the hands of its last owner, a nine year old Maharaja. Television has never witnessed a historical story of this magnitude, where bloodshed, love, sex, intrigue, beauty and cruelty all come together to create a layered narrative. This story, rooted in South Asia and traversing countries like Afghanistan and Iran, has a unique international appeal. It is a timely story of greed, power and appropriation regardless of cost.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON DISNEY'S LIVE ACTION MULAN EPIC ADVENTURE WHICH WILL NOW STREAM ONLINE NEXT MONTH CAUSING REVOLT AROUND THE WORLD

     'MULAN' TO STREAM

ON DISNEY + FROM SEPTEMBER

When, after numerous delays, Disney decided, earlier this month, to release their live action adaptation of MULAN on their streaming service

Mulan streams September 4th on Disney +

Disney + instead of opting for a theatrical release, owners of private cinemas saw in it the sign of their demise (as they saw the film as their only opportunity to save their businesses after the corona shutdowns which left most of them without incomes), and some were appalled to such extent that one of them even took an axe in his hands in order to chop down the big movie banners for the film which were advertising it in his cinema that might be now forced to close due to the lack of films to show and no big blockbuster to bring back audience in front of the big screens. Disney obviously does not care much. The film will now stream

The film was originally meant for March release

on Disney + from September 4th both in USA and UK and all other countries that have their streamer. The audience will, however, have to pay a special premium fee of $30 for streaming which unsettled lots of their regular users (you won't be able to see it just for the price of your regular monthly fee and in most online polls people say they won't purchase the movie for that price). It is also interesting that Disney will still release MULAN in cinemas over in China, where it might even flop since the movie there is seen as a cheap version of their masterfully done epic adventures, which is obvious even from the trailer

Yoson An and Yifei Liu are the leads in the film

below. Thousands of Chinese movie lovers have even ridiculed the posters on their internet calling them outdated and cheap. Meanwhile, over in USA some

Donnie Yen is the commander, Jet Li is the emperor of China

members of the cancel culture are boycotting the film because the lead actress Yifei Liu supported the politics of her native country China. So, will MULAN

Niki Caro directed the new live action movie

be a success for Disney or a massive flop, it remains to be seen next month.

     The Story Of Mulan 
When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honoured warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honoured warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation and a proud father.

Who Stars In Mulan?

The movie, directed by Niki Caro, stars Yifei Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan, and Yoson An as

Gong Li and Jason Scott Lee also star in the film

Cheng Honghui, with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. Christina Aguilera has released, last week, the lead song for the movie.
