Day 1 Movie 1 (June 30th)


Jodha Akbar:

 I will admit that this is not the first time I have seen this movie and it probably wont be the last. I adore re-watching movies and I don't discriminate between the kind of movies i repeatedly watch. I have definitely watched some of the worst movies over and over again. But Jodha akbar is not one of those. I really like the movie and there is a particular reason as to why I watched it on the plane when I did have other ones to watch. I recently read Salman Rushdie's Enchantress of Florence which to an extent revolves around the relationship Jodha Akbar share. In the book Rushdie talks about Jodha as being the perfect wife who is a part of Akbar's imagination...its interesting to contrast that with the film version where Jodha is very real and the whole relationship begins with problems and nothing about them is perfect.  Other than that also its a movie I quite enjoy...I have not been disappointed by any of Aushotosh Gowarikars films and this one is no different.
