Jodha Akbar

Saw Jodha Akbar today. After hearing a lot of mixed responses, i was doubtful whether i would enjoy it considering that it was 3 hours 20 minutes long. But surprisingly, it was good and refreshing. Except for one song towards the end, it kept me interested all the while! Dont listen to reviewers like Raja Sen who found the war scenes 'embarrassing' and Ashuthosh fit for only TV series.

Try to catch this movie for AR Rahmans magical music, Neat acting performances by almost everyone cast in it and and top notch visuals.
