It is also obvious that the romance is the prime focus of the narrative. Jodhaa Akbar can be clearly divided into two parts - the political saga and the romance between the royal couple. Meanwhile, suggestions for a descriptive rating to go between the second-last and middle rating are welcome! To hell with the ridiculous theory that says that ‘a good film always works’- it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that is just politically correct crap. But personally, I can’t do without 180 minutes interspersed with five songs!”Īlso check out the discussion here about the movie's publicity or lack thereof - Today is the time of ghor kalyug at the box office, of aggressive hardsell, of driving people nuts with your publicity drive to the extent that they sing Dard-e-Disco (or Saawariya) in their sleep. Ninety and 100-minute formats are a reality. Similarly, there is no mention of Jodha Bai in Badauni’s ‘Muntakhib-al-Tawarikh’.”Ĭontrast this to the small-budget, risk-free cinema and Ashutosh says, “We are fast becoming part of world cinema.

He clarified that the name of the film remains Jodhaa-Akbar, and not Akbar-Jodhaa as reported by sections of the media. Akbar had many wives, some of them Rajput princesses.Īshutosh Gowariker hired a research team of historians and scholars from New Delhi, Aligarh, Lucknow, Agra and Jaipur to guide him on this film and help him keep things historically accurate. It was Akbar who proposed to her father for her hand in marriage to create an alliance and also because he somehow became very fond of her. Her real name was Hira-Kunwari before marriage and after marriage she was known as Mariam-uz-Zamani.Īccording to historical texts, Akbar actually did meet Jodha before they were married. The use of the name Jodhabai appears to have been a 19th century mistake. In reality Akbar's wife was never known as Jodhabai.
