Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar on Screens

Ashutosh Gowariker goes two more centuries back from his Lagaan era to deliver another magnificent masterpiece by weaving a gripping narrative around the Mughal Emperor Akbar and Rajput Princess Jodhaa. The beautifully recreated 15th Century period doesn’t give any scope at pointing fingers and perfectionist too might feel it pointless to debate on historical facts.

Asjutosh has a skillful scence of vision and connects with the viewer with equivalent ease the well done screenplay had written and co-written by the Director Gowariker himself and the Hyder Ali maintain a perfect balance between the historical relevance and by mixing entertainment in that.The film at no point becomes a lesson from history textbooks and at the same time doesn’t take prose liberty either.



K.P. Saxena is been given a special thanks for his work and also producing his meticulous effort put in powerful dialogues in chaste Hindi and Urdu dialect that re-erect the bygone era and in unison is also easily assimilative to the current generation. Jodhaa Akbar is a brilliant work of cinematic excellence. Period! No there’s more to the review. Just keep an adjective count hereon.



The film expectedly starts with the mandatory prologue in Amitabh Bachchan’s voiceover on India being intruded since the advent of 11th Century and the Mughals arriving in five hundred years later. Clearly the Mughal invaders are shown in a positive light since they settled in India. And thereon emerges the third generation Mughal Prince Jallaluddin Mohammad (Hrithik Roshan) who grows up as a ruthless warrior and brave ruler but simultaneously possessing a heart of gold and a clean conscience. Right from the outset his character is established in heroic conduct which doesn’t seek any transformation of sorts. So the story gets ample scope to focus on his love with Jodhaa.



Right from the opening war sequence the film sets the ball rolling for an engrossing series of events to follow. Despite its long runtime, the film doesn’t drag at any instance and uses the blitzkrieg technique of nonstop bombardments of episodes in its narration. Hrithik’s taming of the elephant, swordfight with Aishwarya, dagger-combat in the climax and the magnanimously mounted battlefield sequences are some of the spectacularly executed scenes of this glorious effor

The part of the story is the mughals strategize war with their neighbouring kingdoms which were under the handover of Rajput's and the Rajput king Bharmal(Kulbhushan Kharbands) plans a peace treaty with Mughal by a marriage proposition of Jallaludin with his daughter Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai) that makes the initiate love between the two kingdoms.

Aishwarya and Hrithik bring to life the splendid chemistry between Jodhaa and Akbar as it is delicately simmered amidst a political backdrop. While the romance doesn’t get mushy, the action doesn’t get too heavy. The film very smoothly switches genres from a war drama to a love story with no palpable jolts.



The Other big aspect of the movie is Background Sound which is filled by well Known Music Director A.R.Rehman to this film.The minute detailing in Kiran Deohans’ cinematography, Nitin Desai’s production design, Neeta Lulla’s costumes.
