Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

Wonderful character development!

Very best movie i ever watch

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

When I watched Jodhaa Akbar back in 2008, I was amazed. I remember my awe when I saw the chemistry between Hrithik & Aishwariya. Today, I've watched the movie again.. Somehow, I managed to like it even more. The brilliance of this movie isn't based on only one aspect, but on the magnificent cast, the soundtrack & the plot. Yes, the movie is 3h30, but it doesn't feel like so. You are compelled by the characters, and you're left with wanting more. A truly grandiose movie that I will certainly watch again.

It's not historically accurate, but the filmmaker states that at the beginning. However, if you want to see a visually stunning and compelling film, do not miss this one.It is on par with the great epic films of the past, even by Hollywood standards. I have already watched it several times.All of the actors do a great job. I believed Hrithik in his role as a King, which was a concern at first that he would be able to transcend his "beauty" to make us see him as Akbar. He proved that he is up to any acting challenge thrown his way. Aishwarya was wonderful as usual.If you want a history film, watch a documentary. If you want entertainment, you will not be disappointed.

Jodhaa Akbar is a spectacular Indian epic drenched in colors and music.. The legendary Moghul emperor may not have been anything like Hrithik Roshan, but Hrithik is every inch a royal prince, all 6 feet of him. Both he and Ms. Rai look beautiful and do their best with the minimal script. Lovers of historical romance and adventure films should be pleased...if they don't expect accurate history any more than would be present in a King Arthur or Robin Hood tale. Besides the two stunning leads, the film offers the most glorious vision of a bygone era seen on the screen in quite a while. The action, war and dueling scenes are just as outstanding as the static opulent court and palace scenes. The film is visually rich, beautifully photographed and choreographed. Lavish sets and costumes equal and compliment the beauty of the players.
