In fact, as how most historical epics would go, such as the likes of Alexander or peer Bollywood film Asoka (starring Shah Rukh Khan), while efforts are placed into extensive research to try and stay as authentic as possible, there still are various interpretations to characters, some of whom will be taken to task (like Oliver Stone's vision of Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great) by audiences. Jodhaa Akbar is set in the 16th century, which tells of an arranged marriage for strategic alliance purposes that blossomed into true love between a Mughal emperor, Jalaluddin Mohammad (Hrithik Roshan) and a Rajput princess Jodha (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan).

It's simply an irresistible combination, one that everyone in the cinema hall would attest to, given the full house, and the full house in the next screening.

Few of the Lagaan cast are repeated here which is maybe understandable! Two ‘newcomers’ to the big-screen are Punam Sinha (wife of Shatrughan Sinha) as Akbar’s Mother and Nikitin Dheer (son of Pankaj Dheer a.k.a Karna in Mahabharat) as Sharifuddin. Those big nose rings do look cute on her! Performance-wise she stands tall at only a handful of scenes and never hits the highpoint of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Fights are his strengths and he does well there though a few swish-swashes are straight out of Krrissh!Aishwarya looks good throughout and even shows some cleavage and belly-button. He manages the diction and command of an Emperor and also carries off the royal bearing well, even if its slightly amateurish. Voila! You have a cake that is too big for your own mouth!!!Īcting-wise, Hrithik was OK though he doesn’t look Akbar-esque from any angle.

There’s the whole rigmarole of Inkaar – Iqrar – Takraar – Izhaar – aur – Pyaar as the sponge base, with a delectable spread of war scenes and conflicts as the cream layer, sprinkled with the nutty shenanigans of a jealous step-mom and the saucy betrayal of a power-hungry subordinate, topped with rosy locales of the forts and sandtracts of Rajasthan and the two cherries at the top – Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. Suffice it to say as a Love Story of an Emperor and a Princess with the backdrop of War & Politics. Jodhaa Akbar has neither that great a content nor that many songs. Of course trash like HAHK & H77H & KANK had bucketfuls of songs. Lagaan was lengthy since it showed the plight of the farmers and proceeded to portray their exploitation and then their ability to beat the Englishmen at their own game. Sholay was as long as it was coz there was a leisurely buildup of characters and a grandiloquent finale. Mera Naam Joker was so lengthy because it traced a man’s journey from childhood to middle-age and his tryst with various women. First things first: I found Jodhaa Akbar dull, boring, slack-paced, unevenly emotional and of course, looong! I know period movies (and other genre movies also!) are more often than not but in most cases, there is content to backup the length.
