Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar is the untold love story of the greatest
Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a
fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa.
Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance
between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King
Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter?s hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. When
Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to
strengthen his relations with the Rajput, he would in turn be embarking on a new
journey ? the journey of true love?
From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the
conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great (?Akbar? in Arabic means
great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the
impressive graph of the emperor and his romance with a defiant princess.
