– I HAVEN’T LAID EYES ON PICTORIAL REPRESENTATIONS of Jahangir as an infant, but going by Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar, he was doubtless the handsomest baby in all of Mughaldom. The actor is superlative in the intense moments, and charismatic when he is playing the romantic.Hrithik and Aishwarya shine as married royals… when not smothered under the bloat of Ashutosh Gowariker’s historical romance. Dialogue writer K P Saxena comes up with some powerful lines.Īnd Gowariker and story-writer Haider Ali provide a competent sceeenplay.Ī R Rahman weaves magic with his sufiana 'Khwaja mere khwaja' and Javed Akhtar captures the magical mood perfectly in 'Azeem-o-shaan Shahenshah' and 'Khwaja mere.'Īs for the performances, Hrithik Roshan brings to life Emperor Akbar in all his glory. The vibrant colours and images stay with you long after the lights come on. Kiron Deohans's cinematography is ostentatious. Ila Arun (Moham Anga) Akbar's surrogate mother and his queen Jodhaa are locked in a battle of jealousy and then there is the emperor's brother-in-law played by debutant Nikitin Dheer (Shariffuddin Hussain), who keeps making innumerable plots to overthrow Akbar. Obviously while the romance between Jodhaa and Akbar is the mainstay of the plot there are several other dramatic moments provided by sub-plots revolving around deceit, conspiracy, murder and jealousy. And she, in turn, looks vulnerable and virginal as is expected of her. Instead, Hrithik almost maks you smile as he caresses Aishwarya with his his longing, soulful eyes. You get none of those been-there-done-that romantic cliches. The fact that the couple don't consummate their wedding on their first night the fact that much of the romance is played out aankhon hi aankhon mein adds a lot of colour and character to this story. Here-in lies the magic of this love story. And though he's liberal in thought, Jodhaa takes her own sweet time to warm up to her Prince Charming. And she walks into the relationship by laying down conditions of how she will not convert to Islam and she also requests for a temple to be made in her corner of the palace.Īn indulgent Akbar agrees to fulfil his queen's wishes much to the chagrin of the hardliners in his court.

Interestingly the reticent Rajput princess Jodhaa (Aishwarya) is not too eager to give herself up to the all-powerful Mughal Emperor Akbar. But once the Jodhaa-Akbar marriage is arranged, the magic of romance takes over. The first 20 minutes of the film unfold slowly because the plot-line and the various characters are established slowly. Their dalliance is a politically motivated move, but it has the magic of a true-blue romance. Simultaneously the film also follows the trajectory of Akbar's love story with the Rajput princess Jodhaa.
