I liked that hat too.

Everything that ML and FL wore in Mr. Queen was fabulous too!

Is this thread only limited to Korean, Chinese or Japanese historic outfits? Because I’d like to post some from India too.

Indians adore jewelry a lot, especially the ones made out of gold. Here are snapshots of Deepila Padukone as Mastani.

The choreography is really gorgeous and so is the flow.

But Indian shows won’t be from Viki, since it hasn’t any - or extremely few.
And if it’s from other platforms, we are not allowed to post links to these.

But in the past there were many indian shows I have seen a closed channel recently and I’m shocked to know that it was a Telugu movie that was available on viki.

In the past. Sadly not anymore. Now if you go to the Explore page and go to “Countries/Regions”, India is not even in the dropdown. Funnily enough, there is Canada and the US, but it’s only movies for and about Asians, most of the time done by Asian-American or Asian-Canadian people.

Gorgeous fabrics and embroideries. I like gold jewelry but I could not hack the nose jewelry - (Hayfever) :laughing:

I’ve seen her in many movies. Does that movie take place in Rajastan?

And the sets were fantastic too!
