Tadka spice - It’s official! Jodhaa Akbar is on it’s way to being the furst big hit of 2006. Read on!

Forget the controversy, forget the handful of negative reviews. Rush to the nearest multiplex, and book your tickets well in advance, because Jodhaa Akbar is running to packed houses in many parts of the country. Because Jodhaa Akbar has finally managed to bring respite to the dry run at the box office.

Barring it’s length, most of the viewers have come out of the movie halls feeling mesmerised by the experience. The sets, the costumes, the jewellery, the choreography, the music, the lyrics, the action, the special effects, and of course the simple love story of a Mughal emperor and a Rajput warrior princess, and pretty much everything that has got to do with Jodhaa Akbar has made the viewers ask for more, on their way out of the multiplex screens.

Though it’s only now that it’s becoming clear about why the promotional campaign of Jodhaa Akbar were kept so. The movie is a simple love story and that’s why more focus was paid to the scenes of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, than on showing cannons and swords. And Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s silence in the promos, took the viewers by surprise, after she displayed her skills on screen in such a magnificent manner. A true queen bee, this one!

Amongst the many high points of the movie are the sweeping shots of the forts, the sets of which were built in Karjat by National Award winning art director Nitin Chandrakant Desai. Also, the sword-fighting sequence between the lead stars, and their chemistry have become a big draw for viewers. So much so, there are reports of people visiting far off places to catch the movie, as it has been banned due to controversy in some parts of the country. Jodhaa Akbar has managed to bring back the term ‘House full‘, back in action. It just has to be seen on the big screen. So what are you waiting for?…
