The movie starring Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan nd directed By Ashutosh Gowariker is a masterpiece that leaves you fascinated nd wanting 4 more; nd very few movies come up with that effect. But it wasn't surprising b'coz it comes from a man who gave us Lagaan. The expectation were already high nd he has raised te bar even more.
Looking back at the content (not writing te ntire story) the storyline revolves around how the kingdoms of Amer, Rajputana nd others who used to live in peace and how the Mughal Kingdom was proving to be a threat to all of dem nd how in such circumstances a political alliance in the form of marriage takes place between Jallaludin (Mughal emperoe) and Jodha, the princess of Amer. It also speak about the coming together of two different religon i.e hinduism nd islam which finds its resistance even in the 21st century, way back in the 16th century. And the amalgamation of a hindu women nd her religious values with that of islam. It induces a feeling of pride in our rich heritage, nd a sense of desire to know more about that period.
The director shows his class with every frame nd scene in the movie, the movie is more tha 3 hours long but not a single scene seems unwanted, its the first time in bollywood that a war scene has been so spectaculary shot nd with such precision, nd the scene where Jallaluidin takes on the wild elephant is one of its kind & truly magical nd to top it all, the music is divine, khwaja mere khwaja takes you back to the Mughal era but also has a contemporary feel to it, hats off to A.R Rahman. (but its xpected frm him, he never fails to deliver).
Moreover JA talks about the person who has made it, his vision to make a movie in a genre which has been looked down upon by the indian audience (talking about period films like Mangal Pandey, Gandhi-my father.. which failed to click just because it was touted 2 be "slow"), his guts to make a epic on one of the most controversial topic in indian history, nd that too so convincingly and so meticulously. TAKE A BOW, ASHUTOSH GOWARIKER.
nd just 4 te record der can b no comparisons with Mughal-e-azam, as it shows Akbar whwn he was old but in Jodha Akbar, he is shown in his youth.
