Review of Jodhaa Akbar: will release on 15 February 2008

JODHAA AKBAR, a true love story which was placed between a great Mughal emperor and a Rajput princess. The film has acted by beauty queen Aishwarya Rai and Hrithic Roshan. We all know about Aishwarya’s beauty but we don’t know a secret good quality of her. And that is Aishwarya can sing as well. The news was hidden at first but exposed by AR Rahman. Just music composer AR Rahman discovered this excellence within Aishwarya gave away the sweet secret of Aishwarya at the music launch of JODHAA AKBAR.

AR Rahaman says, “There is an interesting story behind the song called Mana Mohana (song devoted to Lord Krishna) in the film, which is sung by singer Bela Shende. Initially Gowariker wanted Aishwarya to dub for the song, as he believed that she could sing the tune splendidly. However our dates never worked out. When Ash was ready I was busy recording something else and vice versa. The co-ordination didn’t happen. So Bela went ahead and sang this wonderful song.”

He added more, “Also I have sung one song myself, which is called Khwaja Mere Khwaja, a prayer which is regularly sung at Ajmer Sharif durgah. I had composed the song for myself much before Jodhaa Akbar was conceived! I just happened to make Gowariker hear the song. He loved it and said he wanted the song in the film.”

You would not see Amitabh Bachchan in the movie but he gave her voice in all set of the film, the same task he did for Gowariker Oscar-nominated Lagaan.

Amitabh Bachchan says about the movie JODHAA AKBAR, “Ashu included me in the cast and crew of Jodhaa in his speech. This is a little unfair for others as I am just giving a voiceover to the film. My association with Ashu goes back to Lagaan where I did the same. Lagaan did very well and I am sure Jodhaa Akbar will also repeat its success. My work in Jodhaa hasn’t started as yet.”

Aishwarya Rai fails to take the opportunity to sing in 'Jodhaa Akbar'

The director of Jodhaa Akber, Ashutosh Gowarikar wanted that stunning Aishwarya Rai to sing a song in her own voice in Jodhaa-Akbar.

It was supposed that Aishwarya would sing the in track Mann Mohanna. Composer AR Rahman confirmed saying, “Ashutosh strongly felt that Aishwarya could record the song in her own voice, as a bonus for her fans."

It is a matter of sorrow for Aishwarya’s fan because Aishwarya was very busy when the song was recorded. At last the song has been recorded by Bela Shende.

The story of the movie is historical in the sixteenth century and in this movie the romance begins with a marriage alliance between two cultures and religions.

Aishwarya acted as Jodhaa Bai and Hrithik Roshan in the lead character of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar in the movie. The movie ‘jodhaa Akbar’ is scheduled to release on 15 February 2008. It is expecting that the epic romance movie will be super hit.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai the Attractive pair

Prominent director Ashutosh Gowariker has made the historical movie Jodhaa-Akbar where he has formed two historical character one Jodhaa and another Akbar. Here, he has fascinated the relation between Jodhaa and Akbar after marriage.

Gowariker said, “I feel if today we make a story about the past, it must be correlated to the present. And 'Jodhaa-Akbar' is as relevant to the present as arranged marriages. Jodha and Akbar shared a perfect arranged marriage. I was fascinated by how their relationship must have grown after marriage.”

The two most craze of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan acted in the lead character of the movie is set to hit on15 February. The movie is dubbing in Telugu and Tamil language.

About Jodhaa-Akbar, Gowariker said, “Jodhaa-Akbar is to me a historical. Anything after 1857 is a period film for me. Anything before that is a historical. Jodhaa-Akbar is certainly not a costume drama. It isn't set in a never-never land. I'd call Mughal-e-Azam a historical though its focus was different from mine. I've taken extreme care to make sure viewers believe in the relationship.”

About the religious difference between Jodha and Akbar, he said, “it’s important but not stressed in my film. Let's not forget, Akbar's marriage to Jodhabai was no common occurrence. It had a nationwide reverberation 450 years ago when society was far more conservative. How did their marriage affect those times? That's a question relevant even today. But I'm not jingoistic in my treatment.”

Gowariker has said about the pair of Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan- That won't be a problem. The audience will come in and forget everything about Hrithik and Aishwarya. Hrithik-Aishwarya's pairing is incredible. They're extremely charismatic and good-looking. They were a huge success in the contemporary Dhoom 2. That can only help my film, not harm it.

What audiences will see in my film are Jodha and Akbar. At least that's what I've tried to ensure through their looks, body language and behavior. I wanted to make my historical as believable as I'd like to see it being.
