This movie though was not the greatest of all time as far as it's story line is concerned but if we go by the performances it seems to be one of the finest works of the main lead of the movie...I said the story wasn't perfect because I dint find that interesting there is nothing eye catching besides portraying the easy relationship between Akbar & Jodha & that's the centric point of the story line and I really don't like the love stories...but over all it was a good combination of acting,direction,cinematography and the set designing...Good Time pass I gave 8/10 as I think the hard-work they put deserved to get an 8...

Yes, I am commenting on this movie more than after a year I saw it near its release date.The only reason for this is because watching it for the third time now I have been able to spot small things that I never spotted before.Hrithik Roshan as always has shown himself to be as versatile as he always is, adopting roles that contrast vividly so easily. He made the movie for me. (Don't worry, I'm not some mad Hrithik fan). Less than half-way through the film watching it for the first time in the cinema, it was difficult to see the character of Hrithik Roshan in Roshan's acting and all I could see was Jaluddin Mohammed Akbar. It is very hard for me to believe that it was actually Roshan playing Akbar when Roshan has never done such a role before. Not many actors have this gift. Other examples include Johnny Depp.When I first heard about this film, three years before it was released, I was worried that someone like Hrithik Roshan who is used to doing the macho action superhero or family films will be able to pull off a historical epic. He made me believe there was nobody else who could play Akbar in this film.As always, Aishwarya's beauty sets her perfectly for the role, but arguably we have seen too much of her that I could not see Jodhaa's character clearly in her performance, but could only see Aishwarya Rai.Definitely, this 4 hour film is not a waste of time and you will not regret spending almost half a day in the cinema or at home watching this amazing compilation of scenes that do not seize to amaze, with real volunteer people in the battle scenes (no special effects people, all real).If you love uncanny love stories, epic dramas and good old-fashioned action; this is the film for you.If you are set in your religious traditional ways, do not go and watch this movie, as it will have you erupting with anger once you've seen it.

We first saw this film in the cinema and were duly impressed by its sweep and splendour: the colours and action sequences were very impressive. However, watching it at home on DVD the languorous nature of the director's handling of his subject became (unfortunately) more and more apparent. Above all, though, what disappointed me greatly was the extremely poor nature of the music by A R Rhaman composed for this film. Compared to the great (and late) Naushad, this aspect of the film fell completely and totally flat when watching the DVD. Music-wise, then, this film comes nowhere the great classic music provided by Naushad for, for example, "Mughal-E-Azam" (one of the truly greats), "Umrao Jaan", and others.
