He moves and gestures with regal dignity and blue blood purpose (does that sentence mean anything?). Even those who did not understand half of the dialogues due to the slightly Persianised Urdu came out of the cinema halls happy because of Hrithik's role. The respect and admiration he has earned at being able to do justice to a serious role in Jodhaa Akbar will spill over to the whatever other projects he may undertake from now on. This is his English Patient, his Omkara, his Guru Jodhaa Akbar has changed the way in which even the staunchest of Hritik Roshan’s critics think of him. Make no mistakes this is the seminal event of his career. Yes Sir, Jodhaa Akbar will always be counted amongst Hritik Roshan's finest performances, while thankfully Main Prem(s) Ki Diwani Hoon, and Na Tum Jano Na Hum will be relegated under the carpet forever at least I hope so. This timeline becomes important later on. Timeline - As per my calculations Jodhaa Akbar's core story talks about events from 1559AD to 1562AD and then ends circa 1566AD. And this is exactly how one feels during the movie, the historical aspects are in the frame narrative but they are not the main theme of the Jodhaa Akbar. In an interview director Ashutosh Gowariker was asked if history was central to Jodhaa Akbar and his reply was "It is not central, but it is not incidental either".

This movie is not about the magnificense of emperor Akbar (even though Abul Fazl would have his readers believe that his glorious benefactor was the Ever Refulgent Light of the Universe even before being born). Jodhaa Akbar is not about historical accuracy (the producers make it quite clear with a disclaimer to this effect right at the begining). It is about religious tolerance and harmony. It is about coming of age and taking up responsibilities and making decisions for one's self. It is about pernicious court intruge (something which the Mughals did better than anybody else in the world).
Jodhaa Akbar is about the love which blossoms between a husband and a wife after marriage and how it happens. This review of Jodhaa Akbar is an arm-chair review.
