Ashutosh Gowarikar didn’t short fund the movie on any of the aspects. Its set’s are rich and real, direction is wonderful, choreography is awesome, picturisation is amazing and music is outstanding. For a while Gowarikar’s direction makes us believe that the cast can not be more perfect than this. Movie begins with the background preparation in the form of wars that have been directed to Hollywood quality and one must accept that it is entertaining for the viewers who want Hollywood-like war movies from Indian industry. The movie starts with good pace and it is maintained through out till the end. The entry to climax settings for main casts of Hritik and Aishwarya are just perfect and entertaining. Hritik Roshan has conquered one more milestone as fine actor in the role of historical characters though this movie. Both Hritik and Aishwarya have exceeded the expectations while helping bring Jodhaa-Akbar very close to the Hollywood quality as well.
A R Rahman is once again exceptional through this movie. The song “Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah”, on which Gowarikar reported 37 crore spending, is well justified by Rahman. The other songs as well as instrumentals are melodious, too. The background sound is crisp and fresh.
The movie had a challenge of showing the political turmoil, which would become subjects to numerous such movies independently, and the so called love story of this movie. This challenge is successfully showcased in the fast flowing story which shows glimpse of complicated relations among the Rajput kings and even internal family disputes. In the background of this there a love story takes births and reaches to the height half way through the movie. Then there are tests for both the lovers which they pass in polished bollywood style. Gowarikar has put tasty mirch-masala which he admits saying seventy five percent of the events showed in movie are imaginary.
All well presented but still the movie doesn’t get deeper into the heart. Indian public has in impression that Akbar was mildest in cruelty among the Moghals who are regarded as one of the bloodiest emperor of the world. But the public might raise the question about the love story for which many historians do not recognize at all. Then in addition, it was same Akbar who fought a war with his own son against his love marriage proposal. Then it’s natural for even most dumb person on this earth to digest it was a true love story beyond political alliance, that too of a Moghal emperor who had thousands of women locked behind the huge palace walls merely for his entertainment and lust.
Hence it feels like a beautiful mansion without any base.
In the event this movie is hit on the base of its entertainment package, it will for sure help create a soft corner for the bloodiest rulers for whom generations of Indians, especially Hindus, never pardoned for their heinous deeds.
