I am anti Bollywood but this is unusual.
At least a good movie with compare to other single subject stories. I gave it 5 if we talk about Bollywood then it is a film which can be represent India in Oscar, but there are still lots of deficiencies, which I don't think they can remove.
Yes, I am anti bollywood because they have few topics for there movies,
over acting and less use of technology. But wait a minute this movie is
really something, They used over expensive sets to show great
architectural abilities of Mughal Family, Music was really wounderful
and I was excepting it because of a great music director A.R Rehman,
Acting was also good, but in other hand there were many weak points
like weak story, over acting and miss conceptions about real history,
Hiritik Roshan acted very good, Aishwariya did a good work too, but
director only showed a specific love story of Akbar, this is the thing
from where I am anti Bollywood, why love, love and love stories Akbar
did lots of things and they have only this to show. In the end I
surprised when Indian people acted very strange and did strikes against
this movie only because it contains a Muslim hero, this is narrow mind
thinking, overall movie was a good start to show rest of the world that
how great and rich was our history. And I love the song Mann Mohna very
much.
The strange thing was that a great King Akbar have a broad life in which he did a lot for his kingdom but what director showed is only his love story, and how a King have enough tome to this, this is funny, but actually the picture behind is the title which is Jodhaa a Hindu girl so basically this is story of her, so I am saying that lots of things happened in India, Pakistan, Lots of wars, lots of great kings like Tippu Sultan, Muhammad bin Qasim and many other these all have lots of stories so at least somebody have to show the world that there were lots of legends in this part of world lots of brave and great lords.
What I liked about the movie:
Music5/5, Sets5/5, Acting4/5
What I didn't like about the movie:
Story (Not much about great Mughal Family)
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
