Expectation was one thing which I left home when I went to see this period drama titled Jodha Akbar. Although, as per previews and the background of the production house, cast and crew, it was supposed to be a highly recommended flick, I had gone there for the only reason that I could comment on it before anyone does.
Stunning performance by Roshan as J M Akbar and impeccable direction by Gowariker were 2 things for which I whole-heartedly give a standing approbation.
Technically, this one was a pretty edifying fare made on a grand scale with a vertical confidence of downright success and turns out to be true to a greater extent.
On the editing front, I personally feel, it was a bit lengthy though. Nevertheless, the spectacular sets, flamboyant costumes and dazzling jewelry made the entire flick a visual treat.
The commentary by Bachchan Sr was a delicacy to ears. Rahman’s music was enchanting as well. Besides Roshan, there were some sterling performances by Arun as Maham Anga and Sood as Sujamal. Although Rai was eye-catching, I was expecting a mammoth feat from her side, which was kinda missing.
Overall, a Ashutosh Gowariker extravaganza.
My Verdict - 8/10
