Lack of good storyline.

Excellent, a Must See

The first must-see film of the year.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

When I watched Jodhaa Akbar back in 2008, I was amazed. I remember my awe when I saw the chemistry between Hrithik & Aishwariya. Today, I've watched the movie again.. Somehow, I managed to like it even more. The brilliance of this movie isn't based on only one aspect, but on the magnificent cast, the soundtrack & the plot. Yes, the movie is 3h30, but it doesn't feel like so. You are compelled by the characters, and you're left with wanting more. A truly grandiose movie that I will certainly watch again.

a mughal emperor discovers his love in rajput princess to whom he married just as result of an alliance. usually directors loose plot when they make a historic film in India but here ashutosh holds his point.the film although chooses a historical backdrop but main theme is to show that love exists beyond barriers and religions.so pin-pointing out historical inaccuracies in a movie like this will be unfair.however, script had to be more strong.the convas is beautiful considering it's budget.And the more we talk about performances the less will it be because the performances are superb.HRITHIK ROSHAN is an actor with infinite expressions , especially in this movie his eyes speak more than his dialogues and most importantly it's not that easy to speak urdu with that emphasis.overall if you plan to watch a movie with family it's a worth watch.it's perfect for your DVD collection.

This was such a long and period movie. Hrithik is overconfident,sexy,stylish.He gets to show off his body to his rajput wife. Aishwarya has no make up which makes her look naive and pretty. I still don't know if this movie made it as box office hit in India or not. It was so long that it should be seen only once. Hrithik acting was good and fight scenes were impressive but you need a lot of patience to see this movie. Their chemistry rocks again after dhoom 2. I feel that hrithik was too perfect acting in this movie(can be bad,can be good) The songs have to be good and composed well by A R rehman. It can be predictable movie for some.

Let me start by saying that I watch less than 5 "bollywood" movies a year. So my perspective comes from one of an Indian-American who is familiar with the culture but not immersed. I had seen Lagaan, Swades and enjoyed both thoroughly. So going into Jodhaa-Akbar, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they might have been too high.The positives: The movie looks stunning. On par or better than any Hollywood epic. The actors are generally good (and obviously very good looking) and the dialogue is good. The songs themselves were decent although there were only 3-4.The negatives: I didn't go in expecting to see an accurate historical portrayal or anything even close. I went in expecting to be entertained. So the fact that most of the story never happened is irrelevant. The biggest problem was that the movie didn't know what it wanted to be. Was it a history lesson? was it a love story? The movie dragged and the segues between the love story and the story of Akbar's rule were just awkward. At no point do I feel that Jodhaa and Akbar gave a damn about each other. Akbar feels like an angst filled teen and Jodhaa has 2 emotions: happy and angry/sad. Too many scenes that felt like they were just praising Akbar as opposed to making us actually think of Akbar as great.I really wish they had dropped the entire subplot with Sujamal/Sharifuddin and concentrated on Akbar trying to woo Jodhaa and Jodhaa liking Akbar. And the movie dragged for ever.I can't believe I asked for romance in a bollywood flick :)
