5 out of 5 stars Awesome!    January 6, 2009
Ernesto Quidgley (San Juan, PR)
This is an awesome movie. The costumes and scenery are beautiful and the love scenes are very tastefully done. Even the difficult plot scenes are well made. The movie is visually impressive and depicts very well both the clash of religions and the potential for reconciling or coexisting of different belief systems. The product itself is beautifully packaged and the intermission between the two DVDs is very much welcome, as the movie is over three hours long. This movie proves that Bollywood can make films on par with anything western studios can produce. A must have!!


5 out of 5 stars Incredible    January 1, 2009
This is the most beautifully filmed movie I have ever had the pleasure of watching! The set designs are very exotic, the costume and jewlery out of this world, not to mention the native India beauty of the people. I also thought the acting was very believable. The one striking scene I absolutely loved was the Sufi singing on the marriage day, how Akbar's experience with God was illustrated, and the raising of his Kundalini in praise to his God while dancing. Jodhaa's singing to Krishna was also beautiful. Could go on and on, but basically I thought it was an outstanding film. Kudos!


5 out of 5 stars Great Movie!!    December 12, 2008
A. Brett Breitwieser (Phoenix, Arizona USA)
A Great Movie, a joy to watch, and a rare call for tolerance and compassion in a world sadly lacking in both... beautifully filmed.


5 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of this movie    November 20, 2008
Ami K. (New York, NY)
The songs are in my head 4 weeks after seeing the movie - and I replay the songs over and over in my iPod.

The story is a beautiful romantic tale embedded in a period piece of the relationship between the Mughals and the Hindu Rajput dynasties. Ashwarya Rai is stunning in her simple glances and few words. Hrithik Roshan steals the show with his passion, intensity, and ability to take the viewer into a time where so much was going on in India... and extends credibility to his role as Akbar the Great and makes us love him.

I have seen this film THREE times in its entirety with my parents, aunts, cousins, etc - and have seen clips of it many times more. Watch the DVD deleted scenes - it includes a really nice folksy tale of how Birbal the Wise joined the court of Akbar (a childhood tale re-enacted).

The song "Inn Lamhon ke Daaman Mein" is haunting and will cause goose bump. Listen to it in its entirety and appreciate the Urdu-poetry and exquisite verses. The video for "Azeem-o-Shaan-Shahensah" is a beautiful representation of the secular and beautiful diversity of the tribes of India.


One of my all-time favorite movies!

It is one of the best movies I have seen. Akbar and Jodhha incarnate spiritual people with grace and power. The unity of religions is still something to dream about.
