“The Taj story” is a fictional attempt aimed at provoking emotions and distorting history by rejecting authentic historical evidences and established archaeological facts. The Tourism Guild of Agra strongly condemns, rejects and distances itself from such misleading narratives.

#TheTajStory is a sleep-inducing disaster!😴 Director confused history with fiction & still failed. Script dull, acting lifeless, music torture. Even my remote wanted to escape halfway!😂 Such films should come with a free pillow!⭐️ 1/5 #KRKReview @NetflixIndia #TheTajStoryReview… pic.twitter.com/KOScdOAUI2
