True piety is tolerance

Many people love to laugh at the disobedience of singing and dancing in Indian movies. In recent years, Indian movies have been improving this style and integrating into the international style. However, singing and dancing are the characteristics of the Indian mainland. It is abrupt but undeniably charming in singing and dancing. Singing and dancing are few in this film, but they are very exciting and of course very Su.

The name of the movie is Jodhaa Akbar, which is the name of the Hindu queen and the emperor of Islam respectively. The theme is probably that love beyond religion created the prosperity of India. However, as a romantic love film, most of the plots of this film are that Su De is going to die, the princess doesn't want to marry, and when she gets married, she puts forward hard conditions. The emperor agreed that what he wants is the princess' heart. The emperor and the princess gradually fell in love with each other, and the mother-in-law became jealous, and the two separated. If it weren't for the beauty of the emperor and the princess, I would never watch this role if it wasn't for me being fat. Although I don't like this kind of plot, the content processing of this movie is still full and portrayed.

As the most expensive movie ever made in India, this movie has nothing to say in terms of luxury. The grandeur of the canyons in northern India, the palaces of the lords of the northern states, and the emperor's own Mughal-style castle are not only luxurious, but also The kind of real and dazzling exotic beauty that appears in the movie is either the emperor and the queen or the ministers and princes, and the exquisite jewelry and clothing are all treasures. The color of the lens is a very fairy-like heaven and earth yellow-yellow style.

Religion is a part of Indian culture, and this film is, in the end, praising God. But the chanting is that I am not very much like Allah in Krishna. While watching it, I thought to myself, Has this movie considered the feelings of Muslims, but after watching it, I really despise my narrow-mindedness. Why should I say that every Muslim is bad?

As a ruler, it was wise to adopt a policy of religious tolerance, but according to the background at the time, wherever the Muslim regime went, it was the habit of looting, massacres and forced conversions.

The most exciting thing in the whole film is that the Sufis used harmony to sing the saints at the wedding, and then there was the familiar Sufi whirling dance raised in white robes. At this time, the emperor suddenly flashed white light in front of his eyes, and walked to the place in a daze. The believers spun around, and the scene was very sacred. By the way, Akbar himself is a devout Muslim, very interested in religion and has spent his life pursuing the meaning of religion. In the movie, he respects all the gods, advocates peace without bloodshed, and tolerates political enemies. This is the embodiment of a truly pious person.

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.
