blockbuster

The only thing I feel bad about watching this movie is that sometimes the music is too long. Maybe this is what is called a musical (or is it an Indian feature)? There is also a small inadequacy. It feels too fake to play. In the end, I have to make a small accident, and then I will explain a small truth (I will repeat it on one side).
But watching the film does give a sense of grandeur. Whether it's the war scene or the magnificent Indian architecture (in fact, watching this movie has a little love for Indian architecture). I think it has something to do with the fact that it is an Indian film. If you don't understand it, you can only focus on watching it with your eyes.
Regarding the music of the film, although I don’t understand it, I still like the melody, especially the part that the queen sang in front of the shrine when she was doing her pilgrimage. I like the actor's voice. Lots of background music is also very good.
Another feeling is the expression of love, which seems to be expressed entirely through the eyes. The male and female protagonists have a pair of beautiful eyes. Unlike domestic films or something, it seems that two people must meet shirtless in bed to be considered love.
What impressed me the most about this movie is that Akbar went to ask his queen back as a son-in-law, especially the conversation in bed rather than the fight between the two after that. I think the dialogue is a good explanation not only for love but also for a person's survival. After that, Akbar also made a private interview.

Finally, for someone like me who is used to watching 1:30~2:00 movies, it is very rare to watch more than 3:30 movies without feeling tired, which proves that the movie has something to attract me. I think that's the measure of a blockbuster: long and not boring.

    This is a gorgeous Asan-style romance epic, much worse than Ashoka. The picture of the war is so fake, can't you be more forceful when you swing your sword? Do fake moves professionally too. Can't you just sing and dance once? ! The picture of the crowd singing praises to His Majesty is really thunderous, and it is a match for the Spring Festival Gala. Fortunately, the male protagonist is handsome enough.

    Doesn't anyone think that the male protagonist is very similar to Nicolas Cage...

Jodhaa Akbar quotes

  • Todar Mal: [DVD English subtitles by Nasreen Munni Kabir]

    [Akbar and Jodhaa, in private argument]

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: I don't understand?

    Jodhaa Bai: No, you don't! You know how to wage war and conquer. But do not know how to rule.

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: [confused] What did you say?

    Jodhaa Bai: That you have only conquered me, but not won my heart yet... you should have at least tried to know what really happened. But the truth is that you are far removed from reality. You do not know how to win hearts. To do that, you need to look into their minds, discover their little pleasures and sorrows. And win their trust. Be one with their heartbeat! And the day you will succeed in doing that, you will rule my heart.

    [2nd scene later, Akbar visits Agra Bazaar disguised as a commoner, accompanied only by two trusted court ministers, Todar Mal and Mahesh Das]

    Todar Mal: Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Roaming in the bazaar without guards is dangerous.

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: Don't worry. No one will recognize me. I'm doing it since there's a difference between conquering and ruling. To win the hearts of people, one must look into their minds.
