Mughals in all their splendour. wow the movie is CUTE. Its not boring and the 3+ hours dont make the movie seem long at all.Historcals are normally are a pain to watch as the love story is in the background. Hrithik here winning Ash's heart is the main premise and historical story is the background. Very refreshing and not a dull moment.
After their forced arranged marriage, Hrithik and Ash growing to love each other gives us so many heavenly scenes. Ofcourse satellite TV & boldness has made viewers shed their awkwardness, aesthetically shot intimate scenes are so welcome to our souls still. I say Hrithik & Ash are not Jodha & Akbar because God, their personas leap out of their characters. Just like, Shahrukhness leapt out in Asoka. Even when Hrithik & Ash stand in the same frame you can feel their chemistry. Dunno why the media harped of a certain cold war between them during the shooting.
The sequences which stand out are :
1) Ash & Hrithik sword fighting with each other. Aaaah!. Just when we think Ash will let go, she fights so well so continuous that he almost loses to her. Also there is a scene where Hrithik practices Sword fighting alone and he kills all of us with his "What's Hollywood in front of me" performance.
2)Hrithik bring a mad elephant under control. Too Good.
Hrithik's mom Poonam Sinha is so beautiful that she looks like an aged Preiti Zinta.
See the movie for Hrithik the ultimate greek god who woos all of us and Ash too. All the movies in future should only pair Hrithik & Ash.
