Rating: **1/2
So the message of the film is "Respect religeons equally, be tolerant of one another and take the best from one another, and they can harmoniously coincide.
Hrithik Roshan will no doubt walk away with the best actor award for Jodhaa Akhbar, and Aishwarya was beautifully clad with Tanishq jewels and Neeta Lula Clothes, but she has given better performances in movies like Guru.
Although the social message was well portrayed, the story was shortcoming of acceptable. From the lack of detail to Akhbar's life, personality and the inconsistency of weaving the story together there were a few loopholes that were seen. It was seen that the actors were at moments left to their own skills without direction, and confusing expressions from Hrithik Roshans character in Laksh surfaced time and again. There were repetitive dialogues of Akhbar of now wanting to take his own decisons which irritated the audience and made them smirk at what a little child Akhbar was.
If the year was taken and a love story portrayed without historical references of Jodhaa and Akhbar, it would have been somewhat more believable. In this movie however, it apprears as their names were used more as catalysts to bring in the audiences, to interest them. Although I am not an avid historian, it was very demeaning to Akhbar's character in history books.
Choreography was average, nothing much to talk about. The music by AR Rehman was true to script.
(rating out of 5 stars)
