I must congratulate the director, his crew and cast for this wonderful movie and the producer for taking a huge risk in making this masterpiece. Though the movie is three and half hours long, due to the excellent storyline and performances, I never felt bored during the entire length of the movie. In fact I would have wished for more if the movie was any shorter ! It is sad that some people are offended by the movie and its portrayal of the Rajputs, and other events despite the disclaimers.

Hrithik's performance as Jalaluddin Akbar is highly commendable. With his muscular build, and acting skills he fit in the role perfectly. Aishwarya Rai Bachhan was also very well suited as the beautiful, graceful and bold Jodhaa.

The art direction is marvelous in the sense that it brilliantly conveys the period setting without being superfluous. The background score by A.R.Rahman blends very well into the mood of the movie. 'Mann Mohana' and 'Khwaja-Mere-Khwaja' are melodious and arouse a divine feeling. The battle scenes, with their epic proportions are awe-inspiring and probably first ever in Indian cinema. The camera work is top-notch and worthy of praise. In the present times of religious intolerance, Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar, presents a historical lesson, one that everyone has to imbibe for mutual harmony, co-operation and world peace. I will not be surprised if this film surpasses Gowariker's 'Lagaan' at the Oscars !
