Asian/Middle Eastern History/Hollywood vs History

Question
Hi.  I'm interested in the Hollywood vs History angle.  The film "300" won big at the box office so it got me thinking.  Are there any other films dealing with Indian History that get you going in terms of the accuracy or inaccuracy?

Thanks so much for your time.

Answer
Hi Jim,

First of all thanks for asking this interesting question. eventhough, I am not expert in that area, still i will try to answer your question. As per my opinion, Movie "Gandhi" (1982)is more accurate than any other movie made on indian history in hollywood. All incidents were shown accurately, especially Jalianwala baug massacare.
