Special: Hrithik, Ash create magic in Jodhaa Akbar There?s even a sword-fighting scene between the two call it a yesteryear equivalent of the basketball challenge between these very two actors in Dhoom 2. Lovers? tiffs, misunderstandings and making up continues while you let out a slight yawn. While Akbar dotes on Jodhaa who insists on retaining her religion after marriage and even demands that a temple be made in her chambers she, in turn, is the wife who stands by her husband through everything. The moments stolen by this pair are heartwarming, as is their love founded on a strong base of friendship and mutual respect. Their love blossoms ever so hesitantly and tenderly amidst the tall towers of the Mughal palace.

Review: Ash, Hrithik excel as Jodhaa and AkbarĪfter the first few minutes of the film that sound more like a history lesson, we are introduced to the story of Rajput princess Jodhaa, who is forced to marry Emperor of Hindustan Akbar for purely political reasons. Jodhaa Akbar has a much more simplistic treatment at best a mish-mash of a love story and a historical drama. But you?d be mistaken to compare it with Gowariker?s recent works including Lagaan and Swades. If one expects the world of Jodhaa Akbar, it?s not without reason.Īnd does the film stand up to these expectations? Yes, when it comes to grandeur, beauty, opulence, aesthetics and soul.


AR Rahman?s lilting music Ashutosh Gowariker?s masterful direction two supreme stars that look like they?ve been living their roles forever.
