This movie is really Awesome..New concept, with well directed..After watching sawariya, i had lost my confidence in the top directors, but ashutosh proved it wrong..Top directors are always the best..Its not abt hrithik and aishwariya, but all abt Jodhaa and Akbar. This movie is not for all class, like masala freeks.. Its for 1)Who loves history 2) Who can understand urdu very well..Coz language is very tough, if u loose concentration, u might not understand the movie.. Over all, everythings perfect.(Little boring in the middle), but overall its best film of this year...

All in all a very Disappointing movie.I went for this movie with very high expectations having really liked Mr Gowariker's two previous ventures,"Swades and Lagaan".Also I had read Mr Nahta's review on this site where he had highly recommended this movie.I thought Mr Gowariker was one of those directors who was capable of giving a good,sensible treatment to one of India's finest rulers,unfortunately he could not resist turning it into a Beautiful Canvas with very little Substance. When you talk about Jodha-Akbar,it makes sense to explore their relationship in greater details,Their Differences,Their Attitudes and how they bonded.Unfortunately ,the chemistry between the lead pair did not allow it. Akbar was one of the first rulers of India to develop Secularism as a State Policy and if the Director would have explored this theme to the fullest he would have given a just tribute to a great ruler. He should also have explored the Palace Intrigue in greater Details-especially the Scheming and Devious Maha Manga (Ila Arun) should have been given more time to do more Damage. The Fight scenes and Sword Fights were strictly average Fare-I have seen better Sword Fights on Star Plus's "Prithvi Raj Chauhan",even the Elephant taming scene was average at best not"Hair-Raising Fare). Personally a better option for Mr Gowariker would have been to Split the movie into Two parts ,each of 2 and a Half Hours each and released within a month of each other,to give adequate justice to this Subject.If he would have done this,he would have been regarded as a brave man. In the bottom-line will this movie recover its Investment-Yes,will it become a Blockbuster-Most Definitely Not.Will a Movie Fan Keep this movie in his DVD Collection at home????Absolutely Not. Its a Use and Throw movie for our Disposable Times.

Hi All, Well all have difference of opinion, but I am shocked to see that some of my frnds given full marks to the movie. Yes, the landscape, the direction was good. But it is too slow. I am not happy with the final outcome as I was expecting a blast like Lagaan but i feel sorry. Very boring.

Wow, everything about this movie is amazaing. Music, sets, costumes , performances are all perfect. Battles could have been better, but they are good for bollywood. Hrithik and Aishwarya's romance was immense, they are so well together. It's of course not on par with Mughal-E-Azam, but it is a good historical film. Although it is true she wasn't called jodhaa in real life, theres alot in the film thats historically inaccurate, but its a good watch. everyone should see this movie.

The beginning of the movie was good..n quite informative n it becomes easier to watch de movie n understand it.. Nautre of a mughal emperor (akbar) was clearly shown rite from his child hood.. that he is quite soft hearted n dont want to kill ne one who is under him n absolutely defendless.. this shows the character of a gr8 king.. strategies of akbar to capture whole hindustan was really good. n intelligently shown..

Rarely in our country movie are made on historical events.Period films are always considered as big risks.But on the contrary Jodha Akbar defines a genuine example of how a charismastic,colossus, period film can be made. Akbar Jodha started with the profound voice of Amitabh Bachhan following a war sequence.I have never seen such a realistic and well made battle scene in the contemprory cinema.Nice camera work and sound effects.How Akbar was throned,who took control of Mughal Emperor when Akbar was naive to shoulder the onus of the 'Shehenshahe Hindustan' . But what i appreciated about this movie the most was after the vivah(nikah) of Jodha and Akbar. The romance and the way it was handled was admirable.Scenes like the sword fight between Ash and Hrithik and how beautifully the romance was blended in it,how Akbar was getting impressed by a typical Rajput lady who was not at all ready to compromise on her religion and culture.Whther we talk about dialogues,sets,costumes,expressions,music,culture,rituals everything is so delicately handled by Ashu keeping the right balance between Rajput(Hindu) and Mughal(Islam). Ashu also won on perfectly handling the subjects of politics,religion,family and love.Audience can be showered with right blend of all those time to time throughout the movie.Nothing is monopolised,but still Jodha Akbar can be said as the eternal love story people hardly know. Hrithik is stunning.All praise to him,he succeded in delivering loud dialogues(scene demand) and the chemistry between him and Aishwarya once again proved that Dhoom 2 was not a coincidence. Aishwarya never looked as beautiful as she is lookin in this movie,and apart from her look she paints the screen her colourful expressions and versatile acting. Kiran Kher,Sonu sood are good too. Music is concerned,Khwaja mere Khwaja,Jashne Bahara and Ajeemo Shaan Shehenshah,Specially the last one which was choregraphed beautifully. The only drawback i found in the movie was its length,even that is tolerable if it is cut by 10 to 15 mins.The last song was needless which only tests the patience of audience.If the song is out the length is perfect. Please keep all those controversies aside watch this movie as a beautiful period movie,coz this is a fresh,different and no doubt a risky subject choosen by a daring and super talented Ashutosh Gowariker.In my book i would rate this movie as an admirable,colossus, sincere effort whish is seriously a must watch despite all hue n cry. Hats off to Ashu.
