Jodha Akbar
by Desi on Apr 12, 2008 10:00 PM  | Hide replies

I disagree that JA didn't work but even though being a good movie, it couldn't do as well as OSO for the following reasons.

1) 3:45 Hrs. Some of my friends didn't go to watch the movie even after hearing good reviews. Thats too much time for a movie. I went to AMC..buggers they don't have breaks and by end of 3:45 hrs I had a back ache.

2) Lot of protests..Many states boycotted the movie.

3) Lot of mughal pride. Obviously lot of us wont like.

I absolutely disagree! OSO was actually an excellent movie! JA wasn't good - it was actually a false portrayal of Akbar and many other characters. If the director had to take that much liberty, he could have given the characters some other names and said that the story was based on Akbar and Jodha.

Also, JA portrays Akbar as a just ruler with a high degree of tolerance. Nobody knows how true this is. So its premise itself is wrong.

OSO was well made, Jodha ... was not. The film gets very weak in between. Lot of unwanted villainy by the so-called dhai maa. Who is this character. Never heard or read in history. If you make a historical film, your facts should be correct. If you cannot make the right historical film, you are better off making OSOs.

yeah, but giving national awards to bachan,, saif and the kinda low media cooverage that the good movies in other languages get is killing the good movies industry in india.. anyways its real fun reading how mediocrity is hyped up so much.. if movies like RDB are benchmark movies in this industry, then its sure to say that indian movie industry standards is all time low

Jodha is a made up story
by deepak on Apr 12, 2008 07:08 PM

This tendency today to humanize despotic Mughal tyrants and great humane lovers is doomed to failure. People cant be duped even though the history taught to Indians is heavily Islamicized thanks to vested interests. Bollywood is pretty clear in its intentions - ridicule Hindu personalities like SRK did in that stupid soft porn ASHOKA, and elevate Islamic rulers, thanks to the mafia that runs Bollywood.
