@ Huma:

JTYJN & Fashion, I prefer these 2 over the others.

For Jodha Akbar, the director rode on the success of the Set designers, soundtrack, FX- guys etc. There should more awards, these guys need the recognition they deserve.

@ Roxy, I agree with you on the first part. "Momento" is one of my fav films and Ghajini fails to capture that essence.

Coming to Jodhaa Akbar, Let me first point out that when it comes to historical films, there can never be 100% accuracy, only theories. There are numerous theories about Jodhaa-Akbar relationship, for instance, like Simi pointed out above, some people claim that Jodha was actually his daughter-in-law. Some people claim that Jodhaa was wed to Jahangir, and not Akbar. There were controversies & blah blah blah. Ashutosh Gowarikar approached the film with the theory he thought was best suited for his idea. He does accept that it was his imagination to a great extent, so let's remove the idea of it being a historical lesson. It was an out-an-out love story.

Coming to the next part, Yes Akbar must have had thousands of wives. But his story with Jodhaa was highlighted because it has been the most talked about story. 90% of the people don't even know the names of his other wives. We can't expect people to swallow history books & then go a watch a film, can we ? From Mughal-E-Azam to Jodhaa-Akbar, Jodhaa has been the most known and talked about wife of Akbar. Hence, the film.

We should remember that Jodhaa-Akbar is not a documentry/realistic film. It is commercial cinema, and I think the director did a great job of bringing the 'classic' element into a commercial film. There are many unanswered questions, and will always be. Depends on what you wish to believe.

I agree with lots of what you said Liz! Jodhaa Akbar is a historical film and in these kind of films, it's hard to get it exactly like how it really was. There can only be theories.
Akbar had many wives, but in the film, it was focused on Jodhaa being his wife and I agree with Liz on an other part that many people aren't very familiar with Akbar's other wives. Jodhaa has been the one that most of us know of more.
I enjoyed this film and I also do think that the director did a good job on it. But I'm not going to say he did a great job on re-creating history because I don't believe in that.

And one of my other favorite films from '08 was Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. It was a cute, sweet, and simple movie. As for Fashion, sadly I haven't watched it but after reading all of your reviews on it, I'm tempted to see it!
