pardon me..ibut i have a different take on the so called magnus opum of ashutosh...
let me make it veyr clear here that i m not questioning the taste of peaple here but m presenting my own opinion as a critic..
the film according to me was by no means a masterpiece..the sets were entralling and it captured the hearts of the peaple without doubt...but the whole thing was very arificial...if hrithik showing his body and doing a few sword tricks(a repeat from krish) is what makes a movie..then sorry...
The movie never was, waht u may call, complete..there were nuances where peaple in the fight sequences where they caught your attention and the khwaja sequence was simpy brilliant but could ashutosh really capture what we may term as "Jodha Akbar".....
Jodha by any means was never actually utilized as a peronality in the film..namely a love story..this story really lacked what peaple had gone to see..and tht is love...any sequence inthe movie that touched our hearts??was there??
Love is not about dialogues..but that is exactly what ashutosh has shown here...the whole thing was so very lukewarm...with unnecessary saas bshu trauma evrywhere...i mean cummon..cant we have a movie that doesnt pack in such audacity??
cinematography was nowehre close to lagaan..most of the time the cameras were at the wrong angles...
hrithik however has outdone himself with his heroics..but more was expected in the "silent" scenes where Hrithik by no means anywere close to the greats...
well..thts my take on jodha akbar...
but make no mistake..its still a good movie..just tht i expected more..and i personally think tht the storyline is quite weak..but the glamour on show more than makes up for it...
p.s.-ashutosh needs a pat on the back for his work on the khwaja sequence..esp with hrithik coming into the picture...
