Storyline:
February 2008 – Ashutosh Gowariker’s movie Jodhaa Akbar has beautifully presented the life of the Mughal Kal on screen. In my childhood, I never thought that Jodhaa Akbar would be like this, but after seeing Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the movie and seeing the true character of both of them.
I felt that this is the most beautiful portrayal. It feels as if the life of Jodhaa Akbar has been presented on screen. Even the smallest things of Mughal Kaal have been detailed well in the movie. The direction and cinematography are excellent.
It takes a long time for the movie Jodha Akbar to gain momentum, for that it seems that in the scenes of Ashutosh Gowarikar, the fight on Panipath was made a comedy sequence, it seems as soon as the director said the action, the actors came in a second. In the other scene you will see that when a scene of Hrithik Roshan is shown with the big elephant, you can clearly see that Hritik is trying to save himself again and again and the elephant moves straight and is dancing, in the next moment Hritik jumps and sits on the back of the elephant, then the elephant becomes calm and the scene closes.
Jodha Akbar’s married life is shown to be full of differences, and amidst these differences, there is love going on too.
The movie Jodhaa Akbar, which was released in 2008, was made in 40 to 45 crore rupees, which later did a business of 150 crore rupees. At that time in 2008, the atmosphere was a little different, according to that the movie was a hit and became a hit but if this movie had been made in today’s time, it definitely would not have been a hit because today’s atmosphere and the thinking process among the people is a little different.
Today’s people never promote such a monarchy, which was quite cruel. Ashutosh Gobarikar has tried to present the movie in a very impressive manner. Ashutosh Gobarikar’s movie Tare Zameen Pe was also shot on a very large scale, which was an amazing movie.
In the same way, Jodha Akbar movie also proved to be one of the four greatest movies of the year. We cannot deny the fact that the unique eyes, great personality, and acting skills of both Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai added a lot of charm to the movie.
If you watch Jodha Akbar movie on OTT or TV today, you will still enjoy it a lot. The movie shows a king who tries to bring peace in the region in love, where politics also takes a central stage. It shows how marriages happen due to political reasons. Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai look very lovely as a couple in Jodha Akbar.
The movie Jodha Akbar features a 16th-century set that cost approximately 116 million. After the 2006 movie Dhoom, the second movie with Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai is Jodha Akbar, which was released in 2008.
Jodha Akbar was not as good as Ashutosh Gowariker’s movies Swadesh and Lagan. In movie could not keep the audience captivated till the end, while Ashutosh’s movies Swadesh and Lagan keep the audience engaged till the end. Lagan movie had the soul of a cricket movie, which keeps it exciting till the end. Technically, Jodha Akbar is one of the best movies.
The cinematography and choreography are very good and deserve special mention. The work of Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in Jodha Akbar movie is highly commendable. The Jodha Akbar movie has been released in 2 languages, Hindi and Urdu.
Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai have been kept in the mainstream in Jodha Akbar movie. The entire movie was on the shoulders of both of them, and both directors were centralized. The battle scene and action work in Jodha Akbar movie were quite good. 3D has also been used in some places, which was good. The camera work was also very good.
All the events in Jodha Akbar movie have been taken from history, which is not necessary that all the scenes and events are completely true. Some things have also been taken from the point of view of giving a thrill to the movie.
No director is interested in showing each other’s love story after marriage, but here Ashutosh Gowariker has focused more on the love story after marriage in Jodha Akbar. From this, it can be guessed that Jodha’s name was given first in the name of Jodha Akbar. From this, it is known that more emphasis has been given to women’s empowerment.
Jodha Akbar is a love story of the sixteenth century, which is about a consanguineous marriage. A true love was born between Akbar in the form of a great empire on earth and Jodha in the form of a Rajput princess. Akbar’s success in politics is unparalleled, and he has achieved great success in his career.
Akbar took his kingdom forward with his efforts. Akbar’s empire spread from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal and from the Himalayas to the Godavari River. Tolerance,
Through a clever blend of generosity and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the most industrious Hindus, the Rajputs. Perhaps Akbar did not know that in order to build good relations with the Rajputs, Akbar married a Rajput princess and then set out on a new journey of love.
Jodha, the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amer, objected to the fact that Jodha’s politics became a barrier between their marriage, and now Akbar was faced with another choice that between this politics and the turmoil of Jodha, he also had to win true love in the midst of a caste. The scenes of the movie revolve around some of these points.
Ashutosh Gwarikar has tried to focus on every actor. The director wanted all the artists should get justice for their roles, like the artist who makes Rajasthani Bhojan was also kept in focus, to the extent that Hritik Roshan lovingly focused the camera angle on the nurse of Akbar when the nurse was giving some medicine for her Akbar. According to me, when the hub focuses on every small artist for a long time, then we can get away from the love story of Jodha Akbar which has also been seen in the movie.
In Jodha Akbar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, meaning Jodha has been shown to be a skilled swordsman. Along with that, Akhbar wins over Jodha by doing excellent swordsmanship with Akhbar. I liked a scene in Jodha Akbar movie where it is shown that Jhodha has a lot of love for his religion and the gods and goddesses of his Hindu religion, due to which Jodha requested her husband Akhbar to give him permission to build a Hindu temple in his palace.
For which Hritik Roshan i.e., the grave, gave permission for this and also took off his slipper and had a darshan in that temple once.
In Jodha Akbar movie the male roles are of Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, both of whom are in their own characters. I don’t think anyone could have played the role of Akbar better than Hrithik. On the other hand, anyone can be crazy about Aishwarya Rai’s intent acting. Aishwarya Rai was completely integrated in her role, it seems as if Aishwarya Rai is really Jodha. She has given the best part to every dialogue and performance.
There is a good song in the movie Jodha Akbar by AR Rahman which is “Khwaja mere Khwaja…..”
Chemistry of Hritik and Aishwarya
Hrithik and Aishwarya’s chemistry is amazing, but the story is slow! The story of movie is about the marriage of young Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Mohammed (Hritik) with Amer princess Jodha (Aishwarya), which was arranged for political gains. But, both of them do not know that this marriage is against the family of young Jalal, A fiery romance is also depicted against the backdrop of Akbar’s transformation into a powerful emperor while thwarting the pressure of religious heads and administrative issues.
The entire film focuses on the male lead, Hritik Roshan who has once again proved his mettle whether it is romancing Jodha or on the battlefield. You will truly believe him to be Shahenshah-e-Hindustan (Emperor of India). His shirtless scene with a sword and the fight between the lead pair is highly commendable.
Hritik and Aishwarya’s previous movie together has been a super hit, just like Hritik-Aish’s good chemistry seen in Dhoom 2, but in Jodha Akbar movie, it has taken it to a completely different level. The chemistry and directorial talent can be seen in the scenes where Akbar admits his ignorance in reading and writing, Her confusion when Aarti is presented, the fight and the scenes when the couple spend their private moments. With a duration of three and a half hours, movie seems like a long story.
The film is a little short as the script helps. The songs, Jashn-e-Bahara, Azeem-o-Shaan Shahenshah and Sufi Khwaja Mere Khwaja are excellent.
Movies similar to this movie are Bajirao Mastani and Padmavat, which are counted among the most hit movies of their time, on the same lines there is Jodha Akbar too, in today’s time Jodha Akbar movie has come in lesser quantity whereas this movie has been shot on a very large scale, the choreography and music in it are also touching the next level.
There is a song of this movie called Azimo Shan Shansha which gives goosebumps on listening to it. The pairing of Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in true costume is very wonderful. There is a lot of detailing done even on the smallest things in the movie. The most important thing that has come in the focus of the Jodha Akbar movie is that there was love between Jodha and Akbar while the marriage of both was fixed through a political alliance.
The 2008 movie Jodha Akbar was a practical success in criticizing us. Which was one of the fourth-highest-grossing movies at that time. The film Jodha Akbar won the Audience Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the São Paulo International Film Festival and two awards at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival, which can also be seen as a sign of positive success.
Here, the twist in the Jodha Akbar movie comes when Jodha, despite being a Hindu, agrees to marry a Muslim man which was on one condition of Jodha that before marriage Jodha had said that she will not change her Hindu religion after marriage, and also nobody would stop her from worshipping Lord Krishna.
This condition of Jodha was accepted, but after marriage, some close people of the palace made many plans for he,r but could not stop Jodha from following her Hindu religion. This part of the movie has been shown quite appreciably in which the fierceness and dedication of a woman towards her religion, respect can be seen, which we can also call the best part of the movie.
The movie should be given 3.5 stars out of 5 because there could have been a lot more in the movie apart from colorful costumes, colours, long shoes to show the story of the movie. Apart from history and geography you will also get to see chemistry in the movie. The movie is completely history based and is also long. After 120 minutes, something should have happened in the movie which keeps the audience engaged. To keep the audience engaged after 120 minutes, there should be twists and turns in the movies which keep the engagement intact.
There is a lot of focus on politics in the movie, the love story of jodha akbar has also been added in it, which starts after the marriage of the two. I would definitely like to say here that a huge budget was selected for the movie, good casting was done, along with that good cinematography was also done, a good and big set was also prepared, some good songs were also given like Khwaja Khwaja song.
Even after this, at one time the movie did not settle in the heart completely as was expected. Somewhere it feels that the story of the movie was a little weak. Overall I have seen the movie, if you don’t feel that the money has been wasted. Also, today we can watch this movie on TV with great interest, it will be a good time spent.
