Ashutosh Gowarikar’s film ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ enchants you and exhausts you at the same time.
The movie has several great sequences ingeniously conceived by the no-nonsense Gowarikar. But as the film crosses two and half hours of its running time, you begin to notice Gowarikar’s over-indulgence in the subject. Once the slowly blooming romance between the titular lovers reaches its consummation point, the movie begins to drag. From then on, your interest begins to wane.
Granted that the film is unparalleled in its opulence and visual splendor. The Mughal art and architecture has been recreated in the film with meticulous precision. On top of it there are superb (to put it modestly) performances by the leading cast – Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai . But it is hard to overlook the aberrations that blotch the otherwise flawless screenplay.

A couple of such aberrations come right after the film hits its crescendo: the point where the love between Jodhaa and Akbar is consummated in a brilliantly shot song sequence. From then on the plot seems to slip away from the director’s grip.
