beauty in memory

I saw this film on National Day in 2011. The Indian film "Akbar the Great" was filmed in 2006. The film from five years ago is very delicate, the texture is very good, and the scene is magnificent. I didn't feel like I had any more liking for this movie. The film is about three hours long. After watching it all at once, the pictures and stories are imprinted in my mind for a long time and refuse to disperse. It is a kind of shocking traditional Indian beauty.


The film tells how the third-generation monarchs of the Mughal Dynasty expanded their territorial power and completed the historical process of India's unification. It also depicts the love, politics, religion, and court struggles between Akbar and his wife, the Rajput princess Jodaha, which is euphemistically beautiful.

In the process of completing the unification, Akbar agreed to marry the Rajput princess in order to further strengthen his relationship with the Rajputs. However, as a Rajput, a brave and sincere Hindu, Chodahar did not want to be a pawn in the hands of others, and put forward a request that he should not be forced to change his beliefs. This is a bold idea in the eyes of others. But because of Akbar's wisdom and tolerance, he was approved. Thus, the Mughal Dynasty became the first unified dynasty in India based on national reconciliation and religious tolerance.


The film has a lot of traditional Indian songs and dances, plus gorgeous Indian costumes, the picture sense and visual effects are very beautiful, and the singing voice of Jodaha is like the sound of nature. The perfect combination of plot, performance, music, picture and stage beauty is a rare masterpiece in Indian films.


Note: Akbar (Akbar, 1543-1605), Emperor of the Mughal Dynasty in India (reigned 1556-1605). The Mughal Dynasty is the last dynasty in India, and its historical significance is greater than that of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty that unified North India before. The Mughal Dynasty was the first unified dynasty in India built on the basis of national reconciliation and religious tolerance. Its governance spirit and territory still have a great influence on India today. Akbar the Great, who laid all this, ranks second only to Ashoka in the ranking of Indian emperors.

    Blockbuster fan. Eye-catching! The actors, shapes, and architecture are all beautiful. The key is that the director made every scene solid, not a grand empty shelf, so it's pretty good! Why are Indian movies so long, I have watched more than 3 hours...

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.
