Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter's hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Hindu Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey - the journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great, to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with a defiant princess. Extensive research went into the making of this film which is unparalleled in its opulence and visual splendor. The Mughal art and architecture has been recreated in the film with meticulous precision. With superb performances from Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, and A R Rahman's music, the movie is rightly termed a new-age classic. Watch Jodhaa Akbar on August 15, independence day on UTV movies. http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IE420080809005441&Page=4&Title=Entertainment&Topic=0 -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always
