i be sure you would be wonder why i be review a movie which be release more than 1 half year ago . truth be tell and i be not much incline to watch this mega budget and megastar portrayal of the legendary love story of emperor akbar and jodha . the reason behind this be that neither hrithik roshan and nor aishwarya rai feature on my list of watchable actor . i attribute their success more to their good look and shrewd career move and a healthy dose of sheer good luck . i do not have much of a choice when my brother in law buy a cd of this movie home and my wife insist that we should view it a a family . i have be hear rave review till now and so be just a little bit intrigued . however after sit through the entire movie and i be wonder what the hype be all about . without doubt and this be an above average film and have be make with a lot of care and effort . however do it deserve all the accolade heap on it . can i and for once and cry out the emperor have no clothes . let take a look at the various reason why i be pan this movie 1 ) hrithik and with his chocolate boy good look and razor sharp feature be bollywood star material . however he do not fit in the stereotype of a powerful mughal emperor . when you think about akbar and a powerfully build and swarthy and regal figure spring to mind and hrithik be anything but . with his soft and melt eye he look more like the poster boy of movie such a dhoom 2 and krish . instead an unknown actor with a commanding presence would have well suit this role . i think hrithik would be more suited to play the part of jehangir and in a historic movie and a jehangir be know to be a typical lady man . 2 ) aishwarya rai a a rajput princess be a joke . same a hrithik and she lack the stature to play such a part . she be pure eye candy . her voice be weak and she sound absurd deliver her line . my choice to play this part would have be sushmita sen. 3 ) the plot of this movie be 2/3rds pure fantasy . akbar do not have a wife by the name of jodha . he marry a rajput princess call hira kunwar and who promptly convert to islam and be call mariam ul zamani . she be one of akbar many wife and bore him his heir apparent jehangir . 4 ) it be not evident whether the director mean for this film to be a love saga or a political drama . too many sub plot spring out throughout the length of the movie and but get resolve quickly and conveniently . it seem the director want to pack in as much masala a possible and culminate in an unnecessary fight scene . 5 ) akbar birth name be badruddin mohammed akbar and after his grandfather shaikh ali akbar and akbar be not a title confer on him . 5 ) akbar be well know a a master strategian and shrewd administrator and not for his chiseled physique . he be also not monogamous a be depict in the movie and but like other emperor of his time have innumerable wife and concubine . though he have be paint a be broad mind and liberal a compare to other mughals and akbar be far from the benign and forgive monarch portray here . he be responsible for slaughter thousand of men and woman and child and destroy hundred of temple and ransack score of town and village . finally no indian emperor would be fool hardy enough to challenge his adversary to single combat and stake his entire kingdom on the outcome of the fight . 6 ) the battle scene be evidently inspire by ( read copy from ) hollywood movie such a troy and alexander . however after watch the realistic and gruesome war depict in the latter and these appear a tame and water down version . the climatic confrontation in this movie remind too much of the awe inspire stand off between hector and achilles in troy . i admire ashutosh gowarikar for his original and entertaining lagaan and also for his thought provoking and soul stir swades . aamir and shahrukh khan manage to get in the skin of the character they be play to such an extent that after watch these movie and you do not remember the star and you only remember bhuvan and mohan bhargav . here and you be only watch hrithik who have play romantic lead in several other movie . seem like ashutosh have succumb to the practice of make politically correct and commercially successful movie . however and to give the devil his due and end on a positive note and several event in the movie be portray accurately . the look of the movie be grand . mughal and rajput culture be depict in royal splendour . dialogue be well write . some of the character seem to have walk out of a history text book page . weapon and jewellery use have a very realistic look .
