Jodhaa Akbar...

Finally.... Cant tell you how it feels to see a movie after waiting for so long.. The urge to see the movie actually came cos my friend introduced me to the songs(who also incidentally also promised to accompany me to the movie and never found time to... hrmphhhh). Pure Urdu... amazing lyrics.. thats what I can say about the songs.... And when you find someone who appreciates the beauty of poetry along with the deeper meanings... its like icing on the cake.. In Boston me n my friend spent hours at work with the song in the background.

The movie....spectacular... the grandeur of the forts of Rajasthan, the beauty of the Mughal jewellery , architecture were all things i had seen in excursions around Rajasthan.. Each palace and fort in Rajasthan speaks its own story. Agra , Fatehpur sikri, Ajmer, Amer.. in big picture looked so stunningly beautiful.

The director and artists sure did a lot of homework... so what if the movie was not exactly like out of books.. It still was a beautiful movie..and am probably one person who will give the benefit of doubt of it being lengthy to the director... i mean he needed the time to show all the war scenes.
