Although I knew movie would recover it's cost,<br />thanks to the marketing strategies these days.<br /><br />After watching this movie I was just stumped. The movie, direction, performances, location<br />are just stunning. I was pleasantly surprised that my prejudice's were wrong.<br /><br />I have read medieval history of India very thoroughly and have always been fascinated by Akbar (others are Alauddin<span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> </span>Khilji and <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Mohammad Bin </span>Tughlak)<br />and wasn't sure if the movie will do the justice to the Akbar. Except the love story of Jodha and Akbar (ofcourse the theme of this movie) all the<br />events are based on historical facts. As it was correctly narrated by Amitabh Bachchan, the love story was not mentioned by the contemporary<br />writers from Akbar's court or was not given any importance.<br /><br />Anyways back to the movie:<br /><br />The movie binds you to your seat to entire length. Hrithik's performance as Akbar is as good as it gets. He did justice to his<br />character.<br />Aishwarya performed well.<br />If I really liked someone's performance that would be Sonu Sood as Sujamal. He is absolutely good. I felt his acting was flawless.<br /><br />In my view every one has performed well.<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">The direction is very crisp and the end could not have been better. The movie was not dragged unnecessarily and focussed only on the events related to main story.<br /></div><br />Over all it's a must watch movie.<br /><br />Rating: 4 1/2 *<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8476445334152651830-8147740029579194123?l=bilaspuria.blogspot.com'/></div>Abhishekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09275614168276888418noreply@blogger.com1
