The film showcases the thuggee cult, which indulged in human sacrifice.
This is a superstitious practice, like sati, which had no basis in the Vedas.
In fact, you can see in the Ramayana, Rama's lieutenant Hanuman battling and killing Mahiravana who indulged in such human sacrifice.
Similarly, in the Mahabharatha, Krishna along with Arjuna and Bheema, challenged Jarasandha, who similarly indulged in thuggism or human sacrifice, which Krishna deplored, and slayed Jarasandha.
For superstitious reasons, such practices persisted, and they were wiped out few centuries back.
