Mixed response to Jodhaa Akbar |
|||||||
|
Ashutosh Gowarikar's much anticipated epic romance, Jodhaa Akbar has not been able to create a frenzy with filmgoers.
While the film is doing okay at certain multiplexes, its performance at single screen cinemas is below par. In a nutshell, the film's high cost and subsequent mixed response makes this Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai starrer commerically weak.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.

Jodhaa Akbar Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Poonam Sinha, Ila Arun, Nikitin Dheer, Sonu Sood. Director: Ashutosh Gowariker.  Hrithik's terrific performance, awesome music. Much too long, Gowariker tries to tackle too many aspects of Akbar's life and does not do justice to any.
