A Tale Of Historical Fantasy

Last evening after getting caught in the traffic jam and missing getting tickets for the 8.30 pm show, we finally went for the planned movie "Jodha Akbar" starring Hritik & Aishwarya. The supposed period film is more a commercial weave of love, deciet, valour, honour, belief, family and all the stuff required for making a basic entertaining movie. Did i forget the elaborate song and dance sequences. Well they are there for making it a complete Hindi Movie Experience. The movie is shot in exotic locales of Historic Forts of Rajasthan so its quite a visual treat. I liked the movie and think its worth at least one viewing. But be warned. You need time on you hands. We got tickets for the 9.45 pm show and came out of the hall at 1.30 am. Its like 3.5 hours long. Oh and do go to FAME for the experience. I liked the hall way more than INOX. The seats are bigger and recline further, the screen seems bigger, the hall is definitely bigger and the Pop Corn and Pepsi guys come into the hall with their trays to sell to you right at your seat.
