Oh i see.

I have gone through an ACL reconstruction surgery. Its not knee replacement. But they replace the torn ACL (anterior Curciate Ligament) with the new one.

Thanks,

Personally I feel that this movie works and gives full entertainment. Pull paisa vasool, for the authentic sets, lead actors performance and music. Now a days we get to see crap, vulgarity, sex and violence in the name of movies. When compared to those this really stands tall and to create such a movie one needs vision and money among everything. This is a very clean movie and you can take your entire family to watch it. Now a days we don't get to see historical movies. So it is a worth watch.

Well i was waiting for this movie ...but after seeing it i still cant find the right words to use ...i feel empty like a lot was missing sets good , story line after all its taken from part of History so some truth there likewise i feel it did not have the pull as i expected ..Ash , ...wel i am not a fan of hers ...so maybe cant say much abt her ...she was trying i felt in the whole movie to make an attemt to shine ...but sorry to say even her so called looks did not shine !!! hIRTIK Well he is not that bad for his role ...but i thought Akbar had a harem of ladies wives!! correct me if i am wrong ..this seemed to bit taklen from a very small fraction of his life ...and overall i could not handle the dragginess But then ..its only my view

HI All,
I brought the DVD 3 weeks back and I am still not willing to watch this movie...
I don't know why????

Regards.

Hey Punitha

I think you got to take a stab at it. Hrithik is too good to be lying idle on a DVD.Check it out for his sake. He is really good like all his movies.
Dont forget to ogle at all the nice jwellery and detailed dresses too. Ash despite of my not so liking.. did look stunning at times. If you had seen Jaipur , then it will remind your memories of Amer fort. If not, it will give you good reason to add it in list to see .

Thanks,

Gals,

Just finished watching the movie. I loved it! I was expecting Hrithik to look a little pansy but he has proved me totally wrong. His acting skills are at its best here, I think. He has portrayed the right emotions of being a brave and just king and at the same time being a loving, affectionate and "wanting his wife's love" type of a husband. I was thoroughly impressed by his acting.

Like you Ria, I too am not a Aishwarya fan but yes she does look very good in some of the scenes.

I loved the story. I did not know about the love story of this pair.

Puni, put that DVD in the player and hit the play button soon! You will not regret it.

Dear Ladies,

Saw Jodhaa Akbar y'day. The History student in me could not believe the distortion of facts.

This movie should be declared a work of Fiction. I liked Ila Arun's acting. She has talent.

Hrithik looks good & Aishwarya shines in some costumes.

I saw the movie recently. Totally loved it!! In fact am planning to watch it again in the theater.

Hrithik was really impressive and I liked his regal bearing. He looked like a king with those penetrating eyes...loved all the songs...

Ash was also nice - Ashutosh really directed her well and kept her artificialness to a minimum.

The whole movie had an Amar Chitra Katha feel to it which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Puni- I think this movie is more enjoyed in a theater. Watching it on a DVD will take away 75% of its effect.

Just my 2 cents,

love,
Aarushi
