Jodha Akbar : by Ashutosh Gowarikar

Jodha Akbar ... had many expectations from this historical drama coming straight out of Lagaan and Swades directorial den...

I am honestly very very disappointed .. The film has proven to be Discovery Channel Documentary to say the least .. it has zero entertainment value with the length of the movie bugging the cine goer to the hilt!

The music was nothing to cheer about , the performances were ok types with only Aishwarya stamping her prowess , Hrithik seemed lost in the crowd !!

The saving grace were the war scenes and the penultimate fight reminiscent of TROY!

The Legacy of Lagaan ... may not be repeated for many years to come ... pull up your socks Mr Gowarikar !!

Rating : 3.5/5.0

we have quite some similarities tanny boy ;)
me too didn't like the movie..guess i scrapped u abt it
par 1 thing is there.. the songs are good.. I first listened to them only in the movie and the picturization specially of khwaja song was pathetic..

Yes Sir , Avoid it completely ... it is just not entertainment !

Sid , just one song is hummable that is Jash-E-Bahara ... otherwise Rahman ne kuch khaas nahi kiya is baar!
