Jodhaa Akbar
9:44am Wednesday 13th February 2008
Comments (3)It seems everyone has cleared the way for the biggest film of recent times. But is it worth the wait?
It marks the return to epic filmmaking from director Ashutosh Gowariker, the man responsible for the internationally successful 'Lagaan'.
Set in the sixteenth century, 'Jodhaa Akbar' tells the story of the marriage of alliance between the great Mughal Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai).
How the marriage alliance turned into true love is the tale at the heart of the film but the film also deals with issues such as resentment, factional in-fighting and extreme prejudice between the Muslim rulers and the Hindu subjects.
Aishwarya Rai excels in her role as the feisty princess but Hrithik Roshan is woefully miscast as Akbar - he can certainly dazzle us with his dance routines but can the poor man act?
The words 'slight chance' and 'in hell' come to mind!
The Akbar/Jodhaa love-saga unfolds against the backdrop of big battles, big themes and the prerequisite big song and dance numbers.
Just goes to show that you can make any film in Bollywood - as long as it's a musical!
Jodhaa Akbar Stars: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Sonu Sood and is Directed by: Ashutosh Gowariker
