What do i say about this movie? a beautiful movie perhaps….
Eventhough the movie is a weeeee bit too long and you tend to get restless at times, you come out feeling good.
yes good …. i had never assumed Akbar to be this way..like how he was portrayed in the movie. Or rather never gave a thought about Akbar other than cursing him for having made my history lessons tougher with so many battles and the dates on which they were fought to be remembered.But after watching this movie, i kind of developed a never-before respect and im in awe of his personality.A powerful king who is very serious of what he wants for his kingdom is just a normal person like anybody else.how he longs to win the love of Jodha,the way he is intrigued and inturn respects other cultures and religion.
One of my favourite scenes from the movie, would be the scene wherein, Akbar is in his court and his subordinates complain of the Hindu rituals taking place inside the muslim territory and exactly at that time Jodha starts her bhajans…I love the next few seconds of the movie which keeps on playing in my head over and over again.The way she teaches him to pray, the way he keeps the sindoor on Jodha’s forehead.I guess all these are not facts , but it was so nice to see. Though the scenes may have been weaved out of imagination,i loved them. I even liked the scene towards the end of “khawaja mere khwaja” song, where Akbar dances in a trance.
There can be so much that can be said about this movie…Its music requires a separate,exclusive blog.so im not going to say anything about it now.
The jewellery and costumes were exquisite.I still cant forget some of the clothes and jewellery.The actors, the direction,the camerawork and what not… very good performances from all quarters, from behind the camera, from the subjects of the camera …. I still don’t know if the respect for Akbar, came from his deeds or if its because of Hrithik’s charm.
I still have so much to say… but it will have to wait…

Hypnosis is a normal state of mind, one which most people go in and out of every day. When you are watching a movie that you are engrossed in, driving down a long monotonous road, listening to music that captures a mood or engrosses you, you are in hyp…
