Complete story:

Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a great Mughal Emperor, Akbar and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Politically, success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar, After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godhavari River. Through a shrewd blend of tolerance, generosity and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey - the journey of true love. The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar's biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in winning the love of Jodhaa - a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice. Jodhaa Akbar is their untold love story.

USP of movie:

Good chemistry of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai (more after long and deep kissing seen in Dhoom 2, which also disturbed Bachchan family to some extent). The second USP is the craze of people for royal romance between Moghul/Muuslim Prince Akbar and Rajput/Hindu Princess Jodhaa Bai (Shahjahan, the only son of Akbar was born to Jodha Bai).

Some of popular dialogues:

- “Hamle ke liye tyaar!�

- “Yeh hamara mulk hai … aur hum is mulk ke jism par loot ke zakhm nehi dekh sakte!�

- “Hum hindusthan ko galat hatoon mein nehi jane denge!�

Promotions details:

The promo clearly reveals to us that Jodhaa Akbar deals in profundity about the political conspiracies of India that existed five hundred years ago in the backdrop of a grand love story. The gigantic war scene, the stinging arrows, the sounds of talwar striking reminds of the old classic historical. Palaces are rife with intrigues and vily insinuations. The promo ends symbolically with Jodhaa written in Hindi (supposedly the language of Hindus) and Akbar written in Urdu (A language supposedly spoken by Muslims).

Songs:

There are 6 songs in the movie Jodhaa Akbar (Jodha Akbar or Jodhaa-Akbar). There is also qawwali in the film, entitled Khwaja Mere Khwajasung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik.

Interesting facts/information:

Over 80 elephants, 100 horses and 55 camels are being used in the movie.

Research team of historians and scholars from New Delhi, Lucknow, Agra and Jaipur has worked for the film.
