The movie has got a spendid pair who have stolen the show. The cinematography, choreography and war scenes have all receded into the back ground when the lead pair were in the frame. the steely resolve of Jodha to keep her faith going was impressive. Akbar was noble and compromised on religious issues. This gives a lesson to the present generation. History may have been different during the period, but cannot be undone. We can learn lessons from that of course, but his is a movie only.
Three hours was a long time, but usefully engaged in visual splendour and history(inaccuracies may be there). The songs are soulful and will remain in the mind for long after the movie is out of the theatres.The oversea audience has enjoyed the movie and given it record BO results. This augurs well for the lead pair who are trying to enter Hollywood.
