A sixteenth century love story about a marriage of alliance that
gave birth to true love between a great Mughal emperor,
Akbar,(Hrithik Roshan) and a Rajput princess, Jodha (Aishwarya
Rai).Politically, success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar, after
having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest
until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal,
and from the Himalayas to the Godhavari River.
Through a shrewed blend of tolerence, generosity and force, Akbar
won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But
little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput
princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the
Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey - the
journey of true love.
The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced
to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar’s
biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in
winning the love of Jodhaa - a love hidden deep below resentment
and extreme prejudice. Jodhaa Akbar is their untold love
story..
Why Jodhaa Akbar is a landmark film?
There may be endless debates about the historical inaccuracies in
Jodhaa Akbar and yes at a certain level the story is incredulously
simplistic but one shouldn't overlook the genuine attempt at
harmonizing the various cultures in the unique context of India. In
today's times when there's a widespread distrust amongst
communities, the message of love and togetherness that wafts out
from this film is extremely important. Moreover, the precise care
with which each frame has been painted (especially the buildup and
culmination of the romance between Hrithik and Aishwarya) displays
heightened aesthetic sensibilities that ought to be lauded.
Final Verdict
Jodhaa Akbar DVD is a chance for you to bring historical grandeur
to the comfort of your living room. Let the magic
begin...
