with all you guys who have seen lord of the rings and ben hur a good advice please don't venture for this... Mr. Asutosh(the director) was in all sorts of troubling while the movie was shot, from Miss aishwariya becoming Mrs. and death of a crew member. it seemed like nothing was going right for this movie. and after the movie released it seemed to land itself into all types of controversy. But all this pain would have been worth if only the movie was interesting. half way through the movie it seemed like the only job akbar did was to spend time with his gorgeous wife, sometimes dance, get involved into semi saas bahu problems. the movie had its own positives. the music was awesome but certainly not the reason why you should pain yourself and sit through three hours wondering whether apart from few historical facts anything else was half as interesting. Ashu's caliber as a film maker has been completely overshadowed by a weak , and i would dare to say non existent story line. the sets where done with great grandeur but only if good sets could make an interesting movie!!! on an ending note, this movie has not been upto the mark and at the end of it all, i think ashu could have done a little better the jodha akbar..
