Product Description

Item Name: Jodhaa Akbar (3 Disc Collector's Edition); Studio: Utv

Product Description

Ashutosh Gowarikers Jodhaa Akbar is the story of the greatest Mughal emperor that ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughters hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar.

When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Hindu Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey - the journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great (Akbar in Arabic means great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with a defiant princess. With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa, the film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Ashutosh Gowariker.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the film, 1 star for the DVD, September 10, 2008

This review is from: Jodhaa Akbar (Three-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD)

This film is outstanding. Historical accuracies aside, this movie has an amazing message. It is such a beautiful story. It is also the biggest bollywood movie I have ever seen, with thousands of extras in some scenes. The costumes and set design are absolutely stunning and look phenomenal on the big screen.

The dvd however is a complete flop. It is not even anamorphic widescreen. When it is stretched to fill your widescreen tv, the picture becomes heavily pixelated, and the subtitles get cut off!! I'm hoping that UTV will correct this issue, and hopefully in the future, release this film on Blu-ray.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning - Incorrect Pirated Movie, March 13, 2008

By 

ninewest57th "Bollywood Fan" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jodhaa Akbar

This version is missing about 30 minutes and one song from the movie (as shown in the theatres).

Somehow the studio (accidentally or maybe deliberately) messed up with the 'pre-release dvd' version of this movie (as the actual release date is 28/04/08) and the bad version of this dvd has propagated throughout.

Really don't waste your time with these pirated DVDs.

Those who say they did not find parts missing clearly did not see this movie in theatres!

The movie is great; but, this DVD is very bad!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding film on a bogus quality DVD, September 11, 2008

This review is from: Jodhaa Akbar (Three-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD)

The file is outstanding. One of the best from Bollywood. Super Direction by Ashutosh, terrific acting by Aishwarya and Hrithik. Can be compared with Hollywood's Ten Commandments or Cleopatra. But this is the worst quality of DVD I have ever seen. The packing looks nice because of the colorful pictures and art work but the material used is cheap. I wish Ashutosh Govariker had chosen company like Yashraj Films to release the DVD. The Film is divided on 2 DVDs. When you load the 2nd DVD for the 2nd half of the film you have to go through UTV's stupid senseless startup routine! (Logo, menu etc.) This breaks the charm and continuity of the film. But its UTV. They will never care to check how such 2 DVD films are released in Hollywood!
