Jodha Akbar Rocks ...

February 16th, 2008

I went today to watch Jodha Akbar with Yuvraj and Shounak. I do enjoy a lot when all three of us are together. We are really a gang. :-)

Anyways .... coming to the point Jodha Akbar is a great movie. Superb acting by all the lead actors (Hrithik and Aishwarya) and by all the supporting cast also. The only glitch was the length of the film. It was indeed a bit too long .. and i hate this concept of two intervals which these hall walas have come up with recently. Really halts the flow of the movie.

Some of the scenes which stand out in my mind :-

1. When Aishwarya lays down her two conditions in front of Hrithik. The impact created was wonderful
2. Ash sees Hrithik practicing sword ...
3. The misunderstanding between Hrithik and Aishwarya ... just before the interval .... the sheer way in which Ash is able to stand upto Hrithik makes it an awesome one
4. The intimacy between Hrithik and Aishwarya in the song " In lamhon ke daaman mein ... "
5. The best was the sword fight between Jodha and Akbar ... I fell in love with Ash for the second time ...

More than anthying else .. it was the song .. Khwaja Mere Khwaja .. that took my heart away ... This was the most beautiful song I have ever seen ...

Also both Hrithik's and Ash's costume deserve a special mention .... Ash as always looked ethereal .. koodos to the cinematographer for capturing her like never before ... Imagine .. in a historical she was looking sexy ! .. Neeta Lulla takes away all my appreciations for this :-) ... Hrithik's dresses were also awesome ... I found myself wishing having those kind of sherwanis .. and I have decided I will have one of these sorts whenever I get married :-)

Aishwarya and Hrithik really form the best pair in bollywood ... they must do at least a few more movies together .. basically both of them have such star power about them ........ that they are able to hold their own forte in front of each other .. strange thought .. but i mentioned to Dhiraj ... that Hrithik and Aishwarya should have been a couple in real life too ... :-)

Aishwarya .. once again you took my heart away .. as always .. you are still the best ... no Kareena's and Rani's of the world can ever match your aura .. your beauty .. and yes .. your acting ... God bless you.
