3.5 Very Good

One of the much awaited movie of 2008 finally hit the screen today - Jodhaa Akbar, and as always how could I miss the first day first show, after all it had my long time dream girl Aishwarya :-) and I had to write this review…

Jodhaa Akbar is a pretty well made movie and gives you the deja vu of epics like Mahabharat, Chanakya and more recently Prithivi Raj Chauhan. Bollywood have not attempted something like this at least on such large scale. Despite strong story, backed by well established cast and crew, the movie does lack in the screenplay and editing department which disappoints you bit. Hrithik after dashing performance in Dhoom 2, still proves his versatility as Badshah Akbar, Aishwarya fulfills her role with panache and so does all supporting cast in this 3 hours 20 minutes historical love and war journey.
