The Storyline

One of the greatest Mughal rulers of India – Jallaluddin Mohammed Akbar (Hritik Roshan) and his fictional love affair with a Hindu Rajput princess – Jodha bai (Aishwariya Rai). The matrimony between them is fixed more as a political checkmate between king of Amer (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and Akbar, but once Jodha and Akbar meet – the real love story evolves fascinatingly. The respectful and tolerant Akbar is shown giving enough leeway to listen to what Jodha has to communicate to him – verbally and non-verbally. This changes Akbar in the way he looks at his kingdom and subjects. There are a few sub-plots; one, the conflict between Jodha and her mother-in-law (Ila Arun), the treachery of Akbar's brother-in-law to topple him and rule India and the terrorist attack on Akbar.

Jodha Akbar - Ashutosh proves himself once again with his New Age Epic and gives a new dimension to the word 'GRANDEUR' in Indian Cinema. The very first thing I suggest is that don't consider it as an Historical movie, rather see it as a fiction and keep aside all the controversies related with Jodha, her actual name and her relationship with Akbar. The second thing I would like to say that as most of the people took it as a miscast movie, "its not". The casting is just perfect and after watching it you cannot consider any other actor portraying the role of Akbar among the young generation so brilliantly except Hrithik.

 Harpreet Singh
A timeless classic. Full marks to the director and the cast. Hrithik is perfection personified as usual. This would be Ash's best performance till date as she does not giggle needlessly or overact at any point.

The supporting cast has done a great job too - especially Punam Sinha and Nikitin. A slight regret is that Sonu Sood should have had a stronger personality for his background, but it is does not impact the movie in any way.

The music is endearing. It will catch up on you as you listen to it a couple of times.
Avoid watching pirated online versions and go watch it in a theater. A pirated version simply cannot capture the grandeur of this movie.

 Nikita L.
It is on par with the great epic films of the past, even by Hollywood standards. I have already watched it several times.

All of the actors do a great job. I believed Hrithik in his role as a King, which was a concern at first that he would be able to transcend his "beauty" to make us see him as Akbar sultan. He proved that he is up to any acting challenge thrown his way. Aishwarya was wonderful as usual.
