Ashutosh Gowariker’s epic JODHA AKBAR is a classic tale of love after marriage & the coming of age of a young emperor . Ashutosh proves with this one that he is Indias finest filmmaker as only he can deliver a hattrick of movies which will be remembered for years to come in Hindi Cinema . All 3 movies are a great amalgamation of art & entertainment as well as extremely different in terms of content . Asutosh’s screenplay have one thing in common , great moments which will linger in your heart even after one has seen the movie –1. the sword fighting scene between the Hrithik & Ash produces a rare sexual energy ever seen 2. the Khwaja Song where Hrithik is completely immersed in the powers of the Almighty along with the Bhajan were he has almost the same effect is superb . te film has many more such beautiful moments & add to that is his vision & scale on which he never comprises . an example of this are the huge sets , the big scale battle scenes (hardly ever seen in hindicinema ) which are realistically shot & will surely pump ones heartbeat , the beautifully mounted song ‘Marhabba’ is eye popping & rich in treatment as well as money .
Ashutosh vision is greatly helped by the two protagonist –Hrithik plays Akbar like a true king , not once does Hrithik The star come to your mind when u see him perform , u completely take him to be the real vulnerable but good hearted Akbar completely dependent on his loyal ones .the voice modulation , the walk , the eyes all convey the much needed sense of royality to the audience. it is a character which Ashutosh has obviously written keeping the image of hindi film hero & nicely adding it to the larger than life persona of Akbar . the brilliance of Hrithik is superbly supported by Aishwariya Bhachan who proves yet again that if she is guided by a good filmamaker can give the best in the business competition . their superb performances are also a reason for their crackling chemistry . the confrontationscene where Hrithik is trying to convince her to come back with him & Ash not relenting is a real example of their superiorty .
But the brilliance of the two is not quite replicated by the support cast which is average . though tere are some brilliance like the man who plays Hrithiks guardian in the beginning or the actor who plays the eunch , the main cast comprising of Sonu Sood (average) , Dheer , Poonam Sharma ( cant act ) , Illa Arun(hams) . but the 2 leads old the film .
Asutoshs writing & Direction as mentioned is brilliant , though there are few scenes which linger a tad too long & could have been shortened & would have helped the length of the film . music is divine , Rahmans compositions touch your heart slowly like Amrit jal & make u pure . The Lyrics are superbly rendered . The cinematography is a dream , it changes beautifully in transforming us to a fantasy land which is beautiful to the battle scenes , shot in an apt rustic manner . the sound recording is brilliant . u get to hear each & every sound right from the voice of the elephants to the sound of the bangles which makes the watching the movie greater fun . Editing could have been tighter s a few scenes are a tad too long as mentioned before . Action is the kind hardly seen in hindi cinema ever absolute classic . Background score has te right blend of melody & thrill which adds to the beauty.
In conclusion , Jodha Akbar is definitely Indias finest film on a real life character & will certainly be counted as a classic in times to come . I m certainly looking forward to DVD to absorb the magic of thismovie again |
