Jodha Akbar is a very spectacular movie. The movie I was waiting to watch for a long time... And does it fulfill the expectations? Well..
Yes...

To some extent... It does not disappoint... But compared to Mughal-E-Azam ( comparision is inevitable ) it lacks impact... At least in certain places...
Mughal-E-Azam was a true love story. I still remember the impact it had on me. There was a personal connection with Salim-Anarakali, a personal connection with Akbar. We hate him in the beginning as he opposes their marraige and slowly towards the ending, we begin to feel great reverence for him as one of the noblest Kings and the great Mughal Emperor...
In contrast, Jodha-Akbar is more of a war movie and less of a love story. It is very good, in its own way.. but there are quite a few patches in the film which leave you feeling bored and distracted...

Some scenes that I loved and are worthy of repeated watch:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
1. Akbar’s fight with the elephant
2. Akbar-Jodha’s first meeting
3. Akbar-Jodha’s sword fight
4. Songs: In Lamhon Ke Daaman Mein, Jashn-E-Bahara
5. Akbar’s devotion to God
6. Akbar’s fight in the end  

The scenes that were not so good:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
1. The ending scene.
2. The cooking scene.
3. Azeem-O-Shaan song.. comes suddenly, without a build-up
4. Khwaja song.. too long... could have been edited

Other aspects:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
Cinematography: Excellent
Costumes, Jwellery: Spectacular.
Sets: Excellent
Story: Good, engaging but could have been better.............. 3/5
Music: Deos not go well with the movie. Music is enjoyable seperately.
Direction: Some scenes lack impact, some scenes lack pace, but overall good... 3.5/5

Performances:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
Hrithik Roshan: Excellent in most of the scenes, average in some scenes, about 10% of his role. 
In some scenes, Hrithik’s expressions make you feel that Akbar is going to say ’cool’ or ’dude’ :)
But he is amazing in rest of the movie. So................. 3.8/5

Aishwarya Rai: Very Good. Ash looks Jodha bai all the way and Jodha Bai looks quite younger, 
in her early twenties........................... 4/5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

Overall, good in parts, hence........................... 3.5/5
