Jodha Akbar, SubhanAllah. Review on Jodhaa Akbar

What an opulent drama! Jodha Akbar is total paisa vassol movie.I was a

little apprehensive before going to watch the movie, as my husband had

told me that it is three and a half hour long.But once Hritik Roshan

came on screen, I was absolutely glued to the screen.Jodha Akbar belongs

to Hritik. It's his movie all the way.The scene, where Aishwarya(

Jodha) secretly watches him practice with his sword, had

crooning, whistling and yelling from all the girls in the crowd(

including myself).Hritik has already proved his acting credentials in

earlier movies, but he is fabulous in the role of Akbar.

If we

compare Shahrukh Khan's Asoka and JA(Jodha Akbar), Hritik is far ahead

of SRK. In Asoka Shahrukh's mannerism and personality hindered him in

essaying the role of a king.Where as Hritik Rohan's steady and calm

attitude blended with the role of Emperor Jalaluddin Mohammed Akbar.

Aishwarya Rai looks just as she should be, a beautiful princess.

Her controlled and measured performance matches with Hritik's.

The

scenes which I likes the most In Jodha Akbar:

1.Bare bodied Hritik

flaunting his prowess with sword, Undoubtedly, Gets my vote.

1. The

Kazi is saying, that the Hindu Princess should not be allowed to flout

Islamic traditions, at exact moment, the music of Bhajan flows into

Akbar's court.

3.When Ash is asked to taste the food herself by Ila

before she’s about to serve the food to the Emperor and his associates.

Once done, Hrithik demanding that he be served the meal from the same

platter that Jodhaa had used.

4.The dual scene between Akbar and Jodha.Aishwarya sure learned fencing well.

5.The song Marhaba.It has the opulence and grace.

The

minus point of Jodha Akbar:

The moment, when Jodha pronounces her love

for Akbar should have been more romantic.something was

missing.Director Ashutosh Gowarikar must have wanted this scene to

excel.That's why the theme of sunlight reflecting in mirrior was taken,

but it could have been more splendid.

This is one movie that I have liked after a long time(apart from TZP).

Lets hope that the movie is not affected by the controversy surrounding it.
