The Empire (Season 1)

The Empire (2021) is an Indian historical epic you can watch online on iFILM, tracing the Mughal dynasty from the young prince Babur's first campaigns in the early 1500s to the dynasty's eventual collapse. Babur — a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan — loses his throne, wanders, rebuilds his army, and forces his way across mountain passes into the Indian subcontinent.

What follows spans generations: palace coups, siege warfare, royal marriages used as political instruments, and successors who range from visionary to catastrophic. Dino Morea and veteran actress Shabana Azmi lead the cast; director Mitakshara Kumar delivers eight episodes as an India-Uzbekistan co-production with real production value behind the battle sequences.
