Jodha Akbar - Grand, sensible and great!
Movie name:
Jodha AkbarGenre:
ClassicsActor/ Actresses:
Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya RaiReview:It's a very big challenge to make an epic film. Not only must you keep all the historical happenings in mind but to recreate that kind of grandeur, but also keep people from getting bored with plots and subplots. Director Ashutosh Gowariker does all of that with Jodha Akbar. The movie is so grand that you will actually feel like you are in E mperor Akbar's palace and in that era - the 16th Century that is!
And do not get scared of the length - 3 hrs 20 minutes. Each and every minute of the film is worth watching and getting enamoured. There is drama, romance, war and not one of these has been compromised on to showcase the other aspects. It's really a great balance between politics (Jodha being married to Akbar for political reasons) and romance (Akbar trying to win her love).
Hrithik Roshan looks every bit of the Emperor and Aishwarya Rai will really, really surprise you with her great performance. No one will dare to call her a plastic doll after watching the movie. Not only does she have some great and fiery dialogues that she mouths with great elan but also the sword fight between her and Hrithik is great. 
One of the best parts of the movie is the dialogues. You have chaste Urdu and shudh Hindi too - Akbar being Muslim and Jodha being a Rajput princess. Hrithik and Ash are fab in the film but some other actors like Ila Arun, Sonu Sood are great too.
After Lagaan and a patriotic Swades, Ashutosh Gowariker has given a great epic film that should not be missed, no matter what! And thr release time, during the Valentine's, is just great!
My rating :
