In the film, one can see a strategic didactic message and the promotion of nationalism. We also a focus on the beauty of the actors there are lingering shots on Roshan’s bare torso and close ups of Rai’s face, both of which help to emphasize the aesthetic quality of the film. The director also employs numerous uses of sweeping wide shots, slow motion, and dramatic music to emphasize the epic nature of the film. In the sets we see an extensive attention to detail, transporting the viewer back to the grandeur and beauty of the time. The bright colors, wide shots that incorporate large amounts of space and decoration, and elaborate costume and sets help to add interest and vibrancy to the film. Jodhaa Akbar also employs fantastic use of cinematography. We see that in Bollywood historical films, the historical elements are enlivened with different theatrical elements to make it more interesting that way there is something that everyone can enjoy. The fact that this film starred such immensely popular actors and had this central love story helped to contribute to its success. We see however, that the two are able to overcome this tension to find true love. These two lovers are complete opposites they come from different religious and cultural backgrounds, and this comes to be a source of tension for them. While this film touches on actual history, such as Akbar decreeing for religious tolerance in his empire, the central love story of the film is what makes it so magnetizing. Jodhaa Akbar tells the story of Mughal emperor Akbar and one of his wives, a Rajput princess known by her misnomer, Jodhaa. One can appreciate this film through its use of cinematography and its didactic and nationalistic message. This film, as is typical with other masala films, has action, drama, romance, comedy, and it also has history, and a didactic message. The film stars Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, and was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. UTV Motion Pictures presents an Ashutosh Gowariker Prods.Jodhaa Akbar is a Bollywood epic historical film that tackles a historical love story under the scope of the masala film. Rahman’s score is bouncy, but his old touch seems to be missing. Gowariker and his cinematographer, Kiiran Deohans, fill the frames with color and finery that marked the fascinating periods of India’s Mughal past. Roshan often looks like a hero out to exhibit his muscles in scenes where he is trying to tame a wild elephant or practicing for a physical combat. She is interesting in parts, particularly the emotional ones, but appears rather flat when playing the coy wife or sword fighting with her husband to prove her Rajput valour. The lovers are very good looking, but Rai and Roshan are not great actors. She lays down two conditions before bowing down to the wish of her father, Raja Bharmal’s (Kulbhushan Kharbanda): She will not be forced to convert and will have a small shrine of Lord Krishna in her private quarters. Nevertheless, Ali’s narrative highlights the gentle love affair between a Muslim king and his Hindu princess. Some aver that she was his son, Jehangir’s wife. There is no clear record of Jodhaa being one of Akbar’s innumerable wives, 200 according to one estimate. Director Ashutosh Gowariker and writer Haidar Ali focus in their film on the royal romance between Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai), which grew out of something as selfish and unfeeling as a political alliance between two vastly different States. Possibly his love for a Hindu Rajput princess, Jodhaa, was largely the reason for his tolerance.
He allowed Hindus to freely practice their faith, even founding a new one called Din-i- Illahi, which borrowed from many religions. CHENNAI, India - “Jodhaa Akbar” is a sincere attempt to show that Islam is not all terror and religious fanaticism in its depiction of the 16th-century Mughal king, Akbar, who ruled over vast areas of India.
