Long, but it doesn't feel so when you are watching it. It was okay, but I felt the war/fight scenes weren't interesting at all. Beautiful cinematography, a very beautiful film to watch.

This movie was so sweet. The beginning was slow and full of battles and betrayal, but the end was wonderful.

I couldn't make it through this movie. I watch Bollywood movies. I watched and rather enjoyed Lagaan, so I gave this one a try. It has the Dhoom 2 couple. It was epic. And it's a sweeping story. And it bores and drags. I know Bollywood movies are typically longer than US movies, ... read more

The beginning feels long and a bit slow. But once a proper introduction of all the characters is given the story picks up. Very epic. Enjoyed it a lot.

Good foreign film about a part of forgotten Indian history. About a brave woman who put away almost everything she loved to help unite her country. In the meantime falling in love with a man who did not believe her, until it was almost too late.

Full of energy and love. A true Hollywood epic movie. The message about religious harmony conveyed in this movie still rings true in today's world. Not only a look back into Indian history, but also a look deep into human heart.

A great re-telling of story and setting for a great history. Though there's a huge controversy for the history part of the story (which the whole point of the movie really was), Jodha Akbar is an ideal, Disney-ish version of the history therefore making it an entertaining, romant... read more

These are the real human moments in the film. One just wishes there were a few more. Full Review
Bollywood films, more than films from anywhere else in the world, harken back to the heyday of the Hollywood studio star system with all the glamour and gloss that goes with that.
Luckily, Aishwarya Rai's mesmerizing good looks make three and a half hours tick by like, well, two and a half hours Full Review
An imperial epic of 16th-century India, realized on a suitably gargantuan scale by writer-director Ashutosh Gowariker. Full Review
There's something to look at even when there's nothing going on, which is seldom, and Rai and Roshan are exceptionally attractive swathed in pearls and glittering gems. Full Review
[Director Ashutosh Gowariker] seems to raise the bar with his historic magnum-opus, Jodhaa Akbar. Full Review
