Jodha Akbar opened slowly at the Indian Box-office, largely due to the fact that the epic love story had a restricted release at multiplexes across the country, due to disputes between the producers of the movie and multiplex owners.
Saturday, the disputes were settled and the Hrithik Roshan – Aishwarya Rai starrer released all over. The audience response to the movie was very positive and so were the critic reviews which resulted in excellent business for the movie. According to Box Office India, the collections on Saturday were almost double compared to Friday.
The movie is expected to do business worth 16 – 17 crores during the weekend, which is great for a movie of this genre. Remember a historical has never worked in a long time. Even Aamir Khan with Mangal Pandey failed and so did Shahrukh Khan with Asoka.
Can Hrithik do what SRK and Aamir couldn’t? Lets wait and watch!
Those who are commenting bad reviews of this movie..i want to tell them that ..you are jealous that hrithik has done a superb act ..that no one can replicate it…

Dear Vineeth
Hritik is a good actor (enjoyed mujhe dosti karoge, etc.) but for this role a stronger actor, with a greater screen presence was required. The essence of the story of jodha and akbar’s love was lost in the costumes and set design, and the inability of the actors to portray these roles. When your looks overwhelm your acting skills (as with hritik and ash) ie. your looks speaks louder than your words, unfortunately the audience would miss what the movie is all about. Even though ash and hritik fit the perfect description of prince and princess (in looks) sadly this was all that the audience was able to receive from this movie…ash and hritik dressed up in period costumes. Watching other period movies (huge fan) this one fell way short off the mark. The fight scenes were very “rehearsed” as nothing was spontaneous or as it would appear on a battlefield..they were to neat. Too much emphasis on the opulence, grandeur and splendour, too little time spent on script, editing and finding the right actors. Bad directorship by ashutosh. Better luck next time.
Just Awesome—Hrithik is what ther actors can’t imagine to be. His style in Dhoom 2 and now the King show in Jodha Akhbar is really of a greatest actor.
dear SZM
i was shocked by your reviews…
are u kidding…
jodha akbar is all about and epic love …and not a modern romance..
do you expect to have a sizzling act in the movie….If u need to understand the movie..you must first prepare yourself that its not an 21th century movie…and in the 18 century…all was focuused on color texture and beauty..so did bu ashutosh…..he has done that before and again…..
first understand the concept and its needs…….not your needs…..
compared to any…any …any other actor in the current century…no one can come close to his legacy act….
i am proud that i am a big fan of himm………
its a long movie.i think mugale azam better for this.ash looking very gorgious.rittik was good alltime.this time joddaakbar like movie not acceptable for everyone.so its a disaster for youth.
