After JODHAA AKBAR, period films out of STYLE?!

😭😭😭 I miss the films like JODHAA AKBAR these days. Ashtoush Gowariker made a masterpiece that gave people a different type of film from the ordinary. Aishu and Hritik were stellar in their roles. These are the type of films you will remember 20-30 years from now. Ever since JODHAA AKBAR, some period films have been made (like VEER) but have not made the impact one would expect. I remember when JODHAA AKBAR became a hit, the industry proclaimed the return of period films and it was back with a bang! So, no other filmmakers are attempting period films anymore?! Aishu excels in these type of roles and I want her to do another period film. A period film on TAJ MAHAL was supposed to be made with Aishu, but it got shelved years ago! Also, there was talk of Kehan Mehta making a period film on JHANSI KI RANI. But, that never took off!

Ashtoush Gowariker made a masterpiece... Keep that @ Museum Only plz....

Well not everyone has the budget to make a period drama, or the time to do research...AG devoted 5 years for research!

And not everyone can do period roles...it all depends on many factors!

Plus, it's a load of hard work to get the sets right, correct costumes, and style of dialouges...whoever has the patience can make it...but def don't see anymore Period films in the near future!

I really don't like period movies. I loved Jodhaa akbar because of hrithik-aish jodi. If it's an old movie, I'll watch it but if it's a new movie based on period movies than I'll pass

This topic stalled bigtime! Please share your thoughts! 😊

jodhaa akbar .. is the last period movie that worked big time.. .. sure in time other period movie will come..and will be succesfull..

I looove period films. I'd like to see more of them in bollywood!
Ash and Hrithik were amazing in them.
But I think anushka can pull of these kind of roles. She is a good actress!

but it all depends on the directors. They are too scared to try something new.. 😡 or perhaps too lazy. whenever they get a time from, remaking originials...

I love period movies wish they would make more. It brings you to another area, Jodhaa Akbar is a perfect example! But I think it was always difficult to make period movie because it is big risk. You don't know how the audience might react to it! So I think period movies are always out of style. There a few filmmakers who try to dare to make a period movie, sad but true!
