PROLOGUE
OOOH LA LA,, the movie is here and i chased it like a crazy female across the ahmedabad as no multiplex is showing it ( some yudh between the Distributors and Multiplex owners for the moolah..)
So at last here i am sitting dazzled and lil bit glazed from the experience named Jodha Akbar.
Review
The name should be Actually Akbar and Akbar coz i find this character better written and dynamic then the Jodha's. The Akbar or Jalal played Theek theek by Hritvik Roshan is really a round character which evolves with the film but Ash as the jodha inspite of Haute Coutre Jewellery and colourful, gota tucked duppatas lacks the fire .Her boldness is shown , when she demands protection of religious sentiments and bas this is it.
The Palace saga is all encompassing intrigue,dissonance, mutiny,nefariousness, deception, romance, thrill, great action and shadiyantras.. The sets r dazzling and leaves audiences during the initial intoduction mouth gaped and eyes popped,, the Aish also leaves the same impact ( i heard a fan calling Aish as Apsara ).The film starts with a great, well executed fighting scence to establish then 13 yr. old Jalal as the Ruler of India . Then the movie progressess with the winding path of plot and sub- plots.
The movie i dare say , is rather long ( almost 3.45 min. ) and still leave much to long and wont for. The Cinematography is out of this world and editing lil slack,, but scriptwriter is the person ashutosh should send to Mecca as its really loose at someplace.
Some scences gives the impression of director lingering on them and thus not cutting it at the right time , like the sword fighting scene of Jodha & Akbar .
I will be commiting great paap if i dont mention and appreciate acting of Sonu Sood as Suja Mal and Dheer as Sharifuddin..The songs 'Jashne- Bahara" is a true love song, the background music is horrendus .
EPILOGUE
The movie deserves one watch..Dont try to get your history right by this movie PER Se Geography just try to enjoy the Chemistry. The look of total rapture and wonder on the face of roshan when he sees Jodha first time leaves true lovers dry-mouthed, i am sure.And haan when Aish speaks, try to look at the jewellary or anything else or you will be disillusioned .
P.s : Was that the wobbly chin or the Double chin ( of Aish ...)
