Shah Rukh Khan plays a prospective king who makes a difficult and lone journey to unravel his destiny.
‘Atharva’ chronicles that journey, taking its hero and you on an awe inspiring journey encountering magnificent lands and strange beasts.
Thamilmani thinks that the character of the warrior is not very different from the personality of Shah Rukh.
