Finally saw the movie..😛 Good one but not great, thoroughly enjoyable chemistry of Hrithik and Ash, 2 breathtakingly beautiful people doing their best..👏 Hard to believe an emperor such as Akbar would care for his wife Jodhaa who was playing hard to get..like Paro of Devdas.. If true , must have been a great love story until he ventured into his marathon marriages. 😕

Akbar did marry Jodha Bai, insists Zafar kin

Hyderabad, Feb. 23: A descendant of the Mughal dynasty has asserted that Emperor Akbar had married the Rajput princess Jodha Bai. His comments gain significance in the wake of allegations by various groups that Ashutosh Gowarikar's film, Jodhaa-Akbar distorts history. According to Y. Ziauddin Tucy, 70, the great grandson of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, such allegations are false.

Tucy, a fifth generation descendent of Bahadur Shah Zafar, treasures a painting of Akbar and Jodha Bai at his rented house in Chanchalguda in the city. "This painting was done after their nikaah," he told this correspondent. "The text in Persian gives details about Akbar, including the day and time of his birth according to the Hijri calendar. At the time it was painted, the Emperor was 51 years, two months and 11 days old."

The footnotes on the painting say Akbar was coronated at Amarkot in Lahore in Hijri 963. "Such paintings of a Mughal couple were made only after their nikaah was solemnised," said Tucy. "Some people even falsely claim that Jodha Bai was Emperor Akbar's daughter-in-law." Tucy has retained hundreds of such paintings passed on to him by his ancestors. According to him, after her nikaah with Akbar, Jodha Bai, a Rajput, was renamed Maryam Zamani Begum.

"People who are unaware of facts distort history," he said. "Emperor Moinuddin Mohammad Akbar Shah, father of Bahadur Shah Zafar, also married a Rajput woman, Kaiyu Bai, who was given the title of Taj Mahal Begum." Tucy also has a painting of Moinuddin Mohammad Akbar Shah and Taj Mahal Begum.

"I do not understand why some sections want to deny the nikaah of Emperor Akbar and Jodha Bai," he said. "Even Aurangzeb got married to a Maharani." He pointed out that there had been no continuity in the recording of Indian history. "Between the first war of Independence in 1857 and 1947, historians put away their pens and stopped writing about the Mughal dynasty," he said. "This, despite the fact that Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was among those who led the first war of Independence." Tucy, however, is yet to see Jodhaa Akbar that is facing a ban in some states.

I liked the movie. The fictitious love story was intervowen very well with historical facts.

Hrithik and Aishwarya both looked and played their parts perfectly.

Jodha Akbar will go down as one of the memorable movie watching experiences for me, simply because I got to finally catch a movie in India and that too in my favorite theater in Bangalore...Now what can I say about the movie itself...Its one of the best romantic movies I have watched in recent times after Parineeta...😳...

Loved every bit of the movie...Fantastic direction, excellent costumes, brilliant perfromances by Hrithik,Illa Arun, Sonu sood (and Aishwarya in parts)...Hrithik acted every bit of Akbar...But Aishwarya looked a bit old in a lot of scenes and did not look apt for a princess who was at a marriageable age( she looked older to Hrithik in a few scenes)...I am glad she did not show her pearly whites at all...I would have loved it if someone younger ( Sonam Kapoor or Deepika Padukone) played Jodha's role...Reading all the nice reviews and with my new found love for her, I went with an open mind, but utterly disappointed with her...Barring from the 2 brilliant sword fight scenes, Aishwarya fell short of my expectations...But she was amazing with her ease with the sword...

Hrithik was a treat to watch as usual and his tremendous screen presence was evident in every frame that he was in...He completely stole the show and after 1 hour or so into the movie, he is the one who pretty much runs the show...Except a few hitches with the Urdu pronunciation, Hrithik off the period look so well...Jodha Akbar will remain as another feather in his cap along with Dhoom 2...

Sonu Sood as a confused brother of Jodha, acted really well and became another memorable part of the movie....Illa Arun was impressive...The guy who played Akbar's brother-in-law was good too... The others too played their parts well...

All in all its must watch movie...

I absolutely loved the movie.
Forget about the story and people acting, I couldn't take my eyes off the grandeur and royalty of the sets and costumes. It was only when I watched the second time, I realized how well Hrithik and Aishwarya played their parts.

It was extremely romantic in an extremely clean and royal way. No one can play a princess better than Aishwarya and same with Hrithik . They looked so much in sync with their characters. They looked AMAZING together. 😳

I don't get people who say it was a waste of time. Even if you don't like the acting and story, how can you possibly not like the grand way the movie was shot. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen at all.

The songs were shot brilliantly. Azeem O Shaan was superb!😍!! The Khwaja song was so unique! Mann Mohana was extremely soothing and melodious. Jashn E Bahara was very sweet too.

All in all, I loved it!! 😎
