My Memoir

I happened to watch Jodha Akbar a movie directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and it is also being produced by him.His  movie lagaan (which nearly reached the oscar doors) tells his name!Wel I had lots of expectations for this movie I also had a picture of Akbar’s personality and i had framed how he would have been , from the pages of history i read.The choice of lead actors ,(Hrithik and Aishwarya) didnt impress me much though (star value?).Well nobody has a clue how Akbar would have looked like if they havent read Akbar i  Nama or Ai Ni Akbari

The characterization and screenplay were  perfect !! Director has really taken lots of  pains to note each and every minute detail of the movie and make it reflect the history.Actors were good , expecially one who played Adham Khan, Maha Manga were really good!! I felt seeing them really , after all i have read about them.Every actor played his character well , King Hemu , Jodhaamal, Thodarmaal and  others …Anyways did Akbar really  forgive Sheriffuddin? Nobody ever knows if Jodhaa Bai really existed,she is being called by different names by different historians though!! The director had wanted to portray a love story , and the courage to choose such a historic love story which is not much remembered by history is laudable!!! Hats off!!

For people like me , who relish reading the pages of history and for every Indian who feels Jalal-Ud-din Mohammed Akbar was the crown of Mughal dynasty in India, a great King who worked on propagating releigious tolerance and created a secular , prosper , and really vast Mughal Empire in India , Jodha Akbar is worth a watch !!!
