Jodhaa Akbar (Hindi)

Synopsis

"What begins as a strategic alliance of two cultures becomes a genuine opportunity for true love between a mighty Mughal emperor and a Hindu princess in director Ashutosh Gowariker's epic romance set in 16th-century India." [Netflix]
"The music is magical. A R Rehman has composed and directed some great songs but Man Mohana in this movie is at another level. Beautifully sung. " [IMDb]
"the most touching and beautiful scene was ….when the emperor perceives the light and is soaked in the divine love of god ..looses himself dancing with the Sufis ….its a brilliant stroke ……and the next beautiful moment for me in the movie was when Jodhaa's song Man Mohana (calling lord Krishna to leave Kashi and Mathura to come to her ..be one with her )..this song is symbolic as Akbar cannot resist but leave his Darbar and forget all who present there , keeps following the melody of the voice that magically draws him to her..and then for the first time he looks at her breath taking beauty and for a moment the world stops for him……then he is lost…… hats off to AR Rehman for composing such soul level music…the song Eshk -Bahara Hein is a master piece in itself. 'In Lamho Kein Daman Mein' song was the best part of the movie. what a way to show the two opposite energies drawn together with beautiful emotions … experiencing moments of completeness." [IMDb]
Beautiful to the eyes, ears, and heart. Heaven is love, and Hell is separation from love. My favorite scenes were of the two armies on the battlefields, Akbar taming the elephant, the singing and dancing Sufis, Jodhaa singing praises to Krishna, and the married couple in bed separated by the curtain.
