Dinesh Reddy approves

Ashustosh Gowariker has outdone himself. This movie is a masterpiece, a complete interpretation of what the director has visualized. From costumes, to body language, to background score, to the songs, sets, manpower and lighting… Gowariker has everything spot-on.

Vaneet doesn’t mind the length…

The movie is about 3 and a half hour long, but it does not bore you a single moment.[..]The choreography and picturization of ‘azeemo-shan-shehenshah’ is superb. JA for me sets a standard for any period movie to come in the future.Hats of to the crew for the sheer effort and guts that are needed to make a film like this.

…and neither does Bharavi

This 40 Cr worth movie draws an affluent picture on the canvass of eye balls. It’s worth watching for the flamboyant mahals, palaces and Emperor Courts as well as high-voltage monarchial battles.[...]First half of the movie picks up slowly and the real tempo starts in second half. Although the film appears to have shifted the track from the well known history, it leaves no boredom for audiences although rolls on screen for about 3 and half hours.

Deep believes you should see it only in the theatre

So to sum it up, Jodhaa Akbar is a very good movie with great direction by Ashutosh Gowarikar. It is definitely a must watch and you should watch it only in theatres. Don’t watch it on your computer or TV.

Stefan already wants the DVD

There are a numerous plus points in this blockbuster, and if I’m telling you I’m getting the DVD when it’s released, I’m already giving this a vote of confidence that it’s a contender to make it to my top 10 movies of the year.

And finally, a counter-view. Vimal thinks it’s an epic bore

If you ask me about the movie, it is just a normal average movie made with a lot of grandeur. And if you ask me frankly if I liked it, it’s a big NO. Probably, because I expected a lot from the movie and my expectations increased as soon as some of the reviews started floating in the net.
