Jodha Akbar

Had downloaded this movie over torrent, but after seeing an initial 15 mins decided to watch it on a BIG screen and it was worth the wait and the extra bucks spent.

A full 10 of 10 for the technical progress made by the Indian film technicians. Actually a 9 of 10 for the final battle which was shown with just a handful of men was very prominent visual drawback. Something like a CG crowd simulation should have been used to show a huge army (something like LOTR).

Hrithik is not that suited for the job of Akbar and Ash as Jodha is some what watchable. The costumes are very well designed (Neeta Lulla). It deserves a 10 of 10.

Ashutosh Gowariker has handled the Hindu-Muslim conflicts very well in the story. Specially the adamant behavior of the mullahs and the mulvies for constructing a temple inside the fort of the mughals. The abolishing of the religious tax on Hindus is also very stressfully shown. This is something which our politicians have to learn.

Music my A.R Rehaman is as always catchy. Specially the "Khawja mere Khawaja" song is worth humming... The song "Azzem-o-Shan Shahenshah" is sung by Bony Chakravarthy of the Oikyotaan fame (a Bong singer) whom i had seen in the fireflies concert couple of days back.

Over all a watchable movie.
