Movie - Jodhaa Akbar

A good time-pass movie. The movie starts off on a very boring note like a history documentary. But gets a bit interesting as the movie goes on. The movie basically revolves around the relationship between Jalaludhin Mohammad Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and Jodhaa Bai (Ash, a rajput princess, a Hindu). Akbar marries Jodhaa for the alliance with her father. Jodhaa is devastated being married off to a Muslim who as she says doesn't even know how to put Santoor on her forehead. But, Akbar supports her and doesn't force her to take up Islam even though he faces a lot of criticism from his kin. The two of them start to understand each other quite well.. But, all good stories have an evil step-mother who ruins everything (remember Hansel and Gretel) .... She conspires and separates the two by leveling false charges against Jodhaa and poisoning Akbar's mind. But then good must always triumph over evil and the two unite once more and Akbar wins over an attempt to his throne by his sister's husband and everyone lives happily ever after...
A decent movie.. Has got an ohk story but screenplay could've been better.. The characters do not have much depth and the story is much too obvious. The music is pretty good. Especially the song Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah has a good beat.. The chemistry between the two is pretty good... The climax is quite satisfying to the heart that wants a "everyone lives happily ever after" kind of an ending... But all in all the movie is a bit dragged out and doesn't have much content to sustain prolonged interest..
So verdict 6/10... p.s listen to the song Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah (Its really good)
